Sport and Sound now a freebie on the GTD
« on: 24 September 2016, 17:45 »
Just noticed it in the configurator - choose 18 or 19 wheels with or without free S&S.

I guess another pre-facelift run-out.

Bargain!

Almost certainly a temporary glitch.

There has been nothing official announced yet. Rest assured any official news I will make people aware of.

I'm in another mainland Europe country, and when I selected S&S pack the 18" wheels were part of it. The rest of the kit is pretty much a freebie when you consider how much the 18" wheels cost by themselves.

In the UK the 18's were standard zero cost - I know in Germany the base car has virtually nothing on it though.

Its not free. When you select either picture with the red calipers it adds £275 for the pretend exhaust pack.

That's a bit cheeky!

It definitely says £0 for 18's with or without S&S and 19's are £990 with or without.

It is saying that the price of the wheels doesn't change whether you are selecting S&S or not, not that S&S are free. Some options eat into the price of others as there's an overlap of equipment, some don't

Why don't they add metallic paint or DSG or NavPro to that list?

The price of the wheels don't change with those either.

Seriously, that's an iffy way of putting things.

I think it's just a sales thing trying to promote the S&S pack which is normally buried away in the extras on the last page and very few people know what it is.
It's just to raise awareness and show off the red calipers to sell more packs. Maybe a promotion ahead of the production change to clear parts stock?
