Clubsport Edition 40 and Clubsport S build numbers (and car photos)

[WD-40]

Not being very observant, I've only just noticed my ED40 has no mats - is that normal that the ED40's were supplied with no mats?

I also can't believe that VW provide a space to store a warning triangle but don't actually supply the triangle itself!

No it should of come with Clubsport specific mats. No triangle is normal.

Went to look at this one this afternoon:
http://www.mapleleafcars.co.uk/used-volkswagen-golf-billingshurst-west-sussex-1262112

Less than 5k miles on the clock 

But 

The bonnet's already had work.  Not well done (I'm very picky) either and there's a blemish remaining under the paint.  It'll need taking right back and a whole panel respray.  Next to the rear no. plate there's an odd heat mark and chip.  In itself not an issue and a smart repair would sort it to an acceptable standard.  But.  On looking closer, above this in the no. plate reveal is paint blow over.  Such a shame.  Neither actually are a deal breaker on an otherwise good car, and I'd rather sort them myself, but that'd mean meeting somewhere on the purchase price.

I'm waiting for the HPI certificate, but I'd quite like to know what happened to it before I commit.

Leeds VW have a near identical car on 9900 miles at just under £26k??

Does anyone know if normal 18" wheels will fit over clubsport S brakes?

Thinking of some spare wheels with 'normal' tyres for the colder months. Won't be using the car in the winter though.

[Paul70]

Yes VW 18 inch wheels or equivalent aftermarket wheels will fit directly. The dimensions of the CSS disc and caliper are exactly the same as GTI PP and ED40CS

[mkviken]

Discs are different (drilled and have alloy bells) and pads different but are they same size and use same caliper?

[Snoopy]

Iirc the css has 340mm brakes. I think it will all depend on design of 18s.

[mkviken]

Hi snoopy - how's it going it's been a while.

You still got the blue mk6?


I guess the CSS is more or less the same then. I've seen 18s on PP GTI before so should be ok.

Some regular GTI wheels or some TD1.2 or something would be what I'm after just for when the colder months come round.

Still have the blue mk6, need to use it more
