I've ordered a deep pearl black, 3 door GTD with the dynaudio pack. It's a company/lease car so I'm reluctant to spend too much but I'm starting to regret not getting the tinted windows for the rear. Does anyone have experience with changing an order? It's due to arrive at the dealer mid June and it's a lex car, if that makes any difference.

Offline I wanted a GTi

You can amend your order up until it has a confirmed build date.

Does the Mk7.5 not come with tinted windows and the 90% tint is extra like the Mk7 was?

Yeah I think it comes with tinted windows but I think it would look well with the 90% tint at the rears with the black paint?

I've gone for Indium Grey 5dr GTI DSG with DCC, Dynaudio & heated screen as definite options. Still in processing at the moment so currently wondering if i should add the camera and remove the wireless charging.

Wireless charging is quite expensive IMHO.

Camera, its hardly a requirement on a Golf, you have front and rear sensors and the all round vision is great. Easiest car I've ever parked tbh.

As for 90% tints on a black car... you say its a company car Tamzildj, is your "company" more of a "firm" and do you shift a lot of white powder? :D
Current: Mk8 GTI DSG, Adelaides, DCC, HUD, HK, Winter Pack, Rear Camera.. Aka "HMS Weasel"

Gone: 2017 Mk7.5 GTD,manual, NavPro

Haha, I've since u turned on my 90% tints idea for that very reason and the fact someone said it will look like a van. I think I'll stick with the standard 65%

I'd definitely have the camera before the charging. I've had the camera on 2 MK7's and I wouldn't be without it. Great feature.

I'm looking into options at the mo - can anyone clarify if the GTi/R comes with dynamic light assist as standard? I know there are options for it with lane assist etc.  I'm in the process of pricing up on CarWow and DtD and they say its standard - no point wasting £630.
Ordered Jun 18: R 5dr, IG, DSG, Prets, DLA, climate w/s and tints.
Aug 14 - Jul 18: GTD 5dr, CSG, DSG, S&S pack, Vienna leather and Santiago's.

According to the latest price list brochure for the mk7.5 Golf, dynamic light assist is a no cost option on the GTI, GTD and R models (page 25 of price list), but.................it's only available in conjunction with Lane Assist which is a £630 option (page 30 of price list) and strangely, the price list states this option is specifically for 5 door models (so presumably you can't have it on a 3 door).
