Bit odd these, checked the one we have here. No black roof but have got convenience pack so has auto wipers, lights etc. Wasn't supposed to come with that. Also has a camera in the middle on the front bumper but no Adaptive cruise, or indeed cruise of any type so perhaps it has city emergency stop too.
Sorry if i'm coming into this late, but why no adaptive cruise? or Black roof?
At least you can wrap a roof simply, but then i guess its not original? Feel for the people that have ordered on the back of what they viewed... very annoying
The original spec said that the car would not have adaptive cruise or front assist so would therefore not need the front radar, the idea being that as it was a track biased these unnecessary driver assist items could be deleted from spec. Looks like the radar is being forced upon us because front assist was key to Mk7 Golf getting its lowered UK insurance rating but weirdly no adaptive cruise (the press car had blanks on the steering wheel where the cruise control buttons normally are although they didn't have the radar either because front assist/ACC wasn't standard in Germany) - so we have something we didn't expect to get, the reverse of the black roof.
Even though the car in the literature had a red roof on a red car, the text said ALL css would have a black roof.
I don't think wrapping it will be satisfactory, nor will non-factory paintwork so it's going to be interesting to see how this gets resolved.
My suspicion is that somewhere along the line, the ordering process didn't check the box that said 'black roof', it was optional on Clubsport Edition 40 and someone would have had to switch this to being standard on CSS but didn't.
I kind of get the need for front assist as it's a local legislation thing but I really don't get why wheels (let alone roof) are different for UK cars, they only made 400 globally so why vary the spec on such a small build?
