Ha, ha.

I'll keep believing it as it helps not having the luck to spec a Tech Pack a bit more palatable. I've got 3 years with this car and will just have to accept a measly 5.8" whilst you will be enjoying an enormous 8".

Life's not fair.

I will not hesitate to gloat at every opportunity   :tongue:

When I am ensconced in my lovely new R admiring the ginormous media screen, I will think of you and your teeny weeny thumbnail offering  :laugh:

In all seriousness it must be highly annoying just missing out, but at the end of the day you've still got a beautiful Tornado R even if it is lacking a couple of inches of plastic  :smiley:

2.2" makes all the difference I am told! I am so glad you will be able to get a bigger one. Bless!  :laugh:

Well, the race is on now between our respective salesmen  :tongue:

Well my man wins, sort of.  Just picked up an email he sent a couple hours ago:

Hi Rebecca,
 
I have phoned Volkswagen UK to ask them about the Tech pack for the Golf, and why it is more expensive for the R compared with the GTi. I'm not sure why just the GT and R Line models that have the Discover navigation as standard are not at the lower price, as it is a factory option on the other models, so I don't understand why the Tech pack for a GTi/GTD is less in cost than the R.
 
They have sent an enquiry to product and marketing to find out why this is, once I have heard back I will let you know.
 

Not a definitive answer yet but all credit for emailing at such an hour, maybe he's reading this forum   :wink: :smiley: 

The email is worded a little oddly, but essentially the Tech Pack option is priced at £1240 on the GT and R-line models where DNS comes as standard which makes sense, so one would expect the higher pack price of £1840 to apply to both GTI/GTD and R, neither of which have nav as standard.   Anyway, will see what response he gets.  I have replied asking again if I would be able to add the pack whichever price it is.......watch this space.

Did you hear anything further on this?

From the R Forum regarding the different Tech Pack prices for the R and GTI/GTD:
Asked VW UK. Their response was "This is because of the model prices for the UK market. We're unable to offer the lower price on Golf R."
