Out of interest does the ROI spec GTI get xenons etc.?

ROI spec is now better than UK spec believe it or not - after years of getting fobbed off with crap standard spec, VW Ireland made massive changes last year. We now get much the same as you guys plus the Disco Nav, rear camera, high beam assist, keyless entry, are all standard here now.

The R comes with 19's as standard too.

Welcome along James - another Irishman here. I had a MK7 GTI and I'm in an R now  :wink:



MK8.5 GTI Clubsport. Moonstone grey. Queenstown 19’s. DCC. Harmon Kardon sound. Pano roof.

Hi James

Greetings from a fellow Irish PP owner, small bit of advice would be to add the factory alarm.

Cheers
