Love the crime scene tape on the first shot

What's that tape for ...? Also - what's the crack with the Nordshliefe setting ...?!! Not another VW hiccup

No idea

Should have stuck with my CS as this is the same minus the rear seat

Looks nice, thanks for pics.

I had a feeling RACE/SPORT mode wasn't going to be replaced by Nurburgring, I think you have to set the Individual mode up in a certain way to match the record car - is there a 'ring setting on the DCC shocks? To be fair it wasn't in the original spec sheet but we all think it should have it so wonder where we read it? :huh:

(minutes later) found this from Autocar just after the record lap;

"A comprehensive rework of the suspension includes adaptive dampers that have been calibrated to include what engineers have dubbed a ‘Nürburgring setting’ as part of the Individual mode."

Regarding sticking with a CS, the CSS, is all about the driving  :cool:

How did you leave it with dealer about the roof?

What made you think it had holes for a cage?

Wow!
It looks fantastic outside of a showroom, can you restrain yourself from enjoying it before the PPF is fitted?

I know I couldn't! :)

Actually the front bumper aero mods and big rear spoiler really give the CSS (and CS) a lot more presence than the GTI when you seen them in the flesh.

I am hoping a black car will look a little meaner though, this largely identical CS Ed 40 certainly does, I didn't think black on black would look that great but I might have to get my wheels refinished on this basis

I think black wheels but with the red edged CS centres would look rather good

I have to say I agree. I'm sorry, it just doesn't look that special

It's not the looks that made it Evo Car of the Year runner up.

generally I prefer black wheels to have polished edges (as on Porsche and Merc) so tyre doesn't blend into wheel visually but I think it looks OK, would look really good on all 3 colours especially red.
