The door sills light as standard......

This link shows a few pics although the the footwell lights will be white as standard rather than the red.
(You can also see the led's in the door trim and just behind the door handle)

The GTI has red LED illuminated metal kickplates on the front door sills as standard, which match the LED inserts below the windows.  I was a bit slow cancelling my finance and had to pay £25 interest (but still saved myself thousands in the long term).  If you don't have the cash upfront, a money transfer credit card is one of the cheapest methods followed by a low interest loan (both miles cheaper than dealer finance)

Plus the white lines in the pictures linked to will be red for a GTI. The pictures show a GTD which are white. All very confusing  :grin:

To the OP have a look at Booth11's car. in this link.

So I can take out the finance to get the discount, cancel the finance, and still get the discount?

Absolutely.  A decent dealer will even explain this to you.  I checked on here and at the dealership before I did it.

My dealer actually advised me to do this when I told him I was a cash buyer.

Thanks for that, never done Finance before so its all new to me. Not sure if it would wind the dealer up, but seems it is all fine which is great.
