Urano grey, 19" brescias and leather interior in Lookers, Darlington last week and Tornado red, buckets and 19" brescias in Lookers, Middlesbrough the week before - both customer orders.  Both looked very nice indeed - are they anyone's on here? :cool:

Couple of Clubsports on autotrader if anyone wants to see a "real" car.  3 door in white with Brescias and Sunroof looks quite good.  Both of them have the std seats though which look a bit boring now compared to the buckets.

This. As with a few models before it, I think the buckets will be one of the very few extras that will support higher resale values for the cars that have them. In 5-7 years from now the hot-hatch Nurburgring record might be starting with a 6 (exaggerating here) and another even more focused variant might be out by that time, so it will be the party bits of the car that will either make it stand out and command a premium over the rest of GTIs and Rs.

Interesting as all the first ones I have seen in UK don't have buckets, so could be that was one of the delays.

Mine is still at port or on ship now, so not long.

But agreed, without buckets is not good.

Glad I got them in the end.

The buckets are a bit part of what gives the CS its identity,  I wouldn't consider one without them if tempted - those with buckets will really stand out against the ones that don't and the standard GTI.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

 :cool: looks awesome Aidey
The CS really looks good in Carbon grey.


I'd love to see a Urano Grey one in the flesh as that would just be 'different' and pretty unique to the model as far as GTI's go.

Looks great, especially  the seats.

What's your view on the std wheels ?  Keen to know how they look in real life, they look a bit skinny in pics but am sure they pay back being a lot lighter than the Brescias.  I do like those wheels but it kind of goes against the principle of clubsport !
