« on: 13 May 2017, 08:52 »
I see a few have orders and picked up 7.5 cars now, will there be a model specific board for the 7.5 ??

No need really. Not exactly a hive of activity on here anyway.

Don't think it's necessary; lots of the issues discussed on the forum will be relevant to both the pre and post facelift versions of the mk7, so it makes sense to keep them in one place.

I certainly hope not as that'll effectively mean I have an old car and I'll get depressed :cry:

Definitely not.

This is just a facelift. The changes are mainly cosmetic. I don't see a good reason why we need a new board.

On the Audi forum I use, they are able to put "facelift" before a thread title. I'm not sure that is even necessary.

This is just a facelift :huh: Never been a facelift like this certainly with VW GTI / R. Facelift always referred to a few cosmetic external mods, square/bigger rear lights, big bumpers, maybe a different trim , stereo, sometimes colour options. But this mechanically with DSG7, extra bhp and  new infotainment, active info display, LED's, interior trim plus the external changes make it more than a mere facelift IMO  :wink:
