WOW! Enhanced specification for Golf GTD and GTI! Happy customers ; )

Speaking to somebody recently where their company only allow the basic standard car spec with no option choices.

So they are stuck with glossy plain black now.

Just looked on the configurator. Noticed that aswell as these freebies they've made Tornado Red a cost option for colour now too. With Black being the only free colour. They didn't market that one as well 

Also the Lapiz Blue on the R has gone up to £610 over the rest of the metallic colours which remain at £550. Interesting...

The charge for TR showed up on the configurator a few weeks back.  Strange decision!  As is the slight increase for Lapiz.  Who can second guess what goes on in VW land

Non metallic black looks awful, very flat and the very worst for showing swirls

It would be interesting to know how many cars VWAG actually sell in that horrible black.

There must be a market for it somewhere perhaps there are thousands of utility vehicles trundling around Germany with it instead of the previously used plain grey.

Funny thing is when I was ordering my car yesterday the dealer said there was no charge for Tornado Red, and he reduced the price as he thought I wanted white, I wasn't gonna correct him lol

Quite probably.

My mate has a mk7 GTD in standard black.  I did ask him what possessed him to choose that colour.  His response was that he was too tight to pay out for deep black pearl on his lease deal.  He went for complete base spec to keep the cost as low as poss.

Also an added optional extra is "90% window tinting from the B pillar back" at £95. Looks kinda cool. My salesman is gonna hate me I think

I don't think the MK7 rear windows are as dark as the MK6. I could hardly see anything lying in the rear seats of my Mk6 if I looked through the rear windows but with the Mk7 I feel you can see a lot more so I wonder if they deliberately changed the %

I had to glance through my rear side window today to see if something was on the back seat, but could clearly see it. I've always wished they were a tad darker tbh.  I was hoping the mk7 had at least the same standard % tint on the rears.  Hope they are not too much lighter in standard form.  95% would be too dark for me on a black car.  Alright on white though.

My Mk6 was black so maybe that gave me the impression the windows were darker.
