Go for it , You know you want to .
What about another colour or is the new car in stock ?
No it's a factory order.
I do love Lapiz but their everywhere, I do love black with Prets but not sure the Pearl Bkack is still an option now? Yes I would and should order a different colour but can't decide which one

I got a set of prets last December when I ordered the GTD estate as 19" are not an option on the estate GTD

I sold them earlier in the week when we bought the Audi for £1200 and they were mint condition.

Does anyone know why there is no keyless on the 3 door?

App Connect / CarPlay can be retro-activated on your current car. Assuming it's MIB 2?
You already have prets don't you?

I'd hate to lose keyless personally...

Been chatting with my alarm guy he says thefts of keyless entry vehicles is up on normal keyed vehicles obviously desired motors but none the the less I'm glad keyless and push button Starr is no longer available on 2016 gti's  :whistle:

App connect is a lot more than 100 quid if you want to add it after.

Forget the high beam assist and get the lane assist, this includes dynamic headlights which are brilliant, especially on country roads.

I don't mean to sound ignorant but I don't care a less about thefts, at the end if the day if someone wants something bad enough they will take it off you no matter what! What really annoys me is that it's still available on the 5 door...I just don't understand it at all

Completely bonkers idea. Your car ain't that old just now is it? The only person who wins out of this is the dealer
