They have a gas bonnet strut

What it does have is heated seats which I wasn't expecting, I'm well pleased, heated seats are all I wanted

I've been away at a Silverstone track day today in my Womans car so she took the Golf topick my Nipper up from School. She said it felt very wizzy  :rolleyes:but not planted like her M3 (F80). I said it'll be the track tyres not liking temps below 6 degs.

Pic for clarity, the wheels are a really nice shade of silver, only appreciated in the flesh I think

Guys ... I apologise for the rant yesterday but jut felt frustrated at VW's lack of attention to detail and was feeling for the red & white guys not getting black roofs and just looking like a bog standard GTi - when the Germans get the full sports car look with roof and wheels. I am also sure it wasn't in their small print but never the less they got a better looking easier to identify Clubsport S ... I would still love to know the reason WHY there is a distinct difference ... sure it doesn't effect the cars performance but who's to say VW haven't omitted other key points in the settings or dampers .... it just a trust and an integrity issue for me !! I will drive the car for a month and make my decisions from there and can't wait to hear some feedback from owners who got their car this week?? Andrew

Hey Viper,  can you hunt for a ring setting in the driver MODEs?
Press MODE, select INDIVIDUAL then press SETUP.
Should be something in there relating to the DCC options

I wonder what else is missing or has not being removed from the production cars compared to the cars reviewed or the actual spec of the car that did the record.  :undecided: Things not mentioned so far like the  65mm exhaust, No bonnet damper, Aluminium brake bells and more negative camber , Alloy front subframe, No centre armrest etc etc.

Aluminium brake bells are there in vipers pics.
I appreciate a trust issue is occurring but it's worth remembering the UK roof/wheel spec is closer to the record car so there is no reason to think the arguably more important hardware has deviated from record car spec.
Anyway isn't it cooler to look like the record car than a random German's? I wonder if they are peeved about black roof and wheels!

Again - I make my point about VW UK and the whole Dealer Network being a joke  ... to think a CS-S left the dealership and nobody knows or can show the owner how to find the Nurburgring setting, when it is the selling feature of the whole car .... the story just gets better with every day #YouCouldntWriteIt! #AttentionToDetail 😂

Is this today's rant?
Just because one dealer didn't show viper the ring mode doesn't make the whole dealer network a joke.

I did post a few days ago how I expect there to be some dubious experiences buying a special car from a manufacturer used to volume but let's wait for a bigger picture.

It's just something we are going to have to put up with if we want a relatively cheap iconic car as its their economies of scale that allow it to be created in the first place

Car looks great Does it have the auto lights and wipers ?
Looking forward to seeing the cage fitted- think I may regret not ordering one when I see it in place.
Seen the track day pics looks to have been a great day plenty on track and the weather seemed to hold out.
Glad now that I've seen pics of the car and reading the reviews that I deciding to buy one after seeing you had ordered yours.

Cheers

Had a quick look to see if it's mentioned but can't find anywhere if the car has a mobility pack with it seeing as there is no spare fitted.
Was considering buying a space saver wheel and tool pack and getting one of the space saver covers  to
take on a longer journey though I will have to wait until the car arrives to see if an 18" one will fit seeing as they have carpeted into the wheel well.
