De-spec on a Mk7.5 to German style

[fredgroves]

I was thinking after my poll about what bits are you adding to your Mk7.5 orders, if we were in Germany then the performance Golf's come without pretty much anything.

If you had to add stuff as optional extras, what would you skip?

Some ideas:

18's
Folding heated mirrors
Winter Pack
Active LED headlights
Cornering lights
LED rears
Sweepy rear indicators
Self dimming interior mirror
Sports seats
Lumber adjustment on driver seat
Height adjuster for drivers seat
Front and rear sports styled bumpers
ACC
Digital dash
Automatic Aircon
Front and rear parking sensors
Rear spoiler
Media adapter (the thing in the glovebox that takes CD and SDCARD)
Load through hatch
Mats
Multifunction steering wheel
Front door kick plates
Automatic headlights
Automatic wipers
Forward assist (including anti pedestrian kill)
Bluetooth
App Connect
Door and front footwell ambient lighting
Spare wheel or inflation kit

That's quite possibly about 10k's worth of extras, scary eh?

I've copied your list and put some notes next to it. Everything else I'd spec.


Folding heated mirrors - Could do without them being heated, but folding is helpful.
Active LED headlights - Not bothered about LED and like the Xenon units from the MK7
Sweepy rear indicators - Not bothered about sweeping lights and prefer the units from the MK7
Digital dash - Much prefer the dials in the MK7 but I can see the benefits of the Digital Dash
Automatic Aircon - I never use the Auto setting in my current MK7
Media adapter (the thing in the glovebox that takes CD and SDCARD) - Never use the CD player or SD card slot in my current MK7. Bluetooth & USB are enough for me
Automatic headlights - For lazy people and I still prefer to do it manually!
Automatic wipers - Never have them in Auto and manually control when they come on and their speed by myself
Forward assist (including anti pedestrian kill) - Standard ACC is enough for me
App Connect - Don't currently have it and don't know what I'm missing!
Door and front footwell ambient lighting - On my current MK7 it's all turned off anyway, find it distracting and prefer darkness
