Nice choice! I've got Indium Grey, 5dr DSG and love it so you won't be disappointed - great everyday car and Indium is such a good colour. Enjoy!

Great colour choice, Indium does look great on a GTi. Also the upgrade wheels are a great bonus as the standard ones look very poor.

I agree, that's the thing I hate most about my 7.5. I wish Santiago were the standard option.

I ordered the bressica wheels for my new 7.5 gti , I had Santiago on my previous 2014 gti and they look great , however they are a ar@e to keep clean , now had the new one for 3 weeks and can honestly say the bressica wheels are easy to clean and seem to stay cleaner longer

Each to his own I know , just my opinion  :smiley:

Not sure I can agree the Brescia wheels are easy to clean. Mine take ages but I am very fussy. They do however look great when clean.

Quickie question. I know the new MK7.5 performance Golfs now utilize LED technology headlights instead of the former Xenon units of earlier cars, but can anyone tell me if the dynamic cornering lights (if they still exist), that shine out sideways on the Xenon units when turning, are still there in the newer units are still a filament type H7 bulb (i.e. not a built in LED light) ?

They are LED AFAIK.... no more bright white headlights with yellow cornering ones. I think the LED's are just part of the array that make up the bank of headlight ones.
