Hi Exonian. My basic spec also has no red edges on the seat belts or the ambient lighting. Not sure why as it's still a GTI so thought it would have a least came with the red strip in the door. Still love the car though. :smiley:

Exonian, the red stitching comes with the bucket seats. No ambient lighting on any UK CLubsports. Shame as I miss the red strip lights in the door.

Has anyone tried taking the door card off to see if it was there? VW have been known to leave things in and just not connecting them. My CC's all had heated rear seats with all the wiring and all I had to do was buy the switches and plug in the wiring.

It's a strange omission and VW's reasoning of the bucket seats option makes siting the ambient lighting controller impossible sounds a bit suspect.

As for the red edged belts, it seems to be a lottery  :huh:

The coloured door strips are the coolest feature of the GTI & R
I don't miss them as much as I thought I would as the LED light above the mirror acts as a spotlight on the seat pattern when the door opens and the rest of the interior is in darkness but I did really like having the coloured strips.

Not on all UK cars it seems  :sad:

According to a German forum it seems the honeycomb 40 door panels don't have the LED insert.
What adds weight to that is there are no holes for the white LEDs in the door opener aperture.

It's less things to go wrong I guess!

I don't think any of these very minor missing details take away from the most complete GTI available :cool:
None of it would irritate me when I was driving the thing :smiley:

It's actually quite useful not having the reflections of the ambient lighting when "making progress" in the dark.
But it loses a little something when you open the door if you don't have bucket seats to admire instead!  :laugh:

I was filling up at a Honda garage this week and a guy was looking at an r type or whatever they are are when he saw me pull in he came over to ask about the ClubSport, ended up with him leaving the Honda dealership with details of where i bought the Gti and comments of the R type looks to of been designed by Michael Bay or a 10 year old ... I had some looks from the honda staff as i paid my fuel bill and left, don t think im welcome there again!  :drool:

Talking of missing red stripes on seatbelts and lack of ambient - I saw for the second time out on the roads a ClubSport ED40 that didn't have red trim around the wheel centre cap (VW logo). The first car I saw like that was a red one with Brescias and this one was a white one with Pretorias parked up. So the red cap stripes seem to be as hit and miss as the red seat belts stripes.

The red trim centre caps are only on the 18" wheels. :sad:
