Brescia- lovely historic town
Sevilla- another beautiful city
Santiago- I've always wanted to go to South America
Parker????

Why do the standard wheels get an uncool crap name? Good little trick that from the marketing people. Sell more bigger wheels and DCC.That's how you sell a golf for 40k!! :grin:

I don't think the name of the wheels makes anyone upgrade! Pretty sure Vw is the only German manufacturer who give their wheels daft names.

And technically they are called Seville  :whistle:

Next time you look at your parkers, rename them “ milano” in your head. They look better don’t they!
The parkers are a nice simple design, the others a bit “ busy “ for some tastes (mine!)

and before I get hate mail, I do have Parkers/Seville/Miltons or whatever they are called on mine and I do think they are an ok looking wheel in the flesh..... but the one think I hate about them and I admit it did take me a while to realise as you don't see both side of the car at the same time, WHY have direction wheels?!?! :sick:

Other than the directional wheels and the GPF... great car!! :laugh:

Excellent choice OP- Isaac blue and milton springsteen wheels.
How come you get the car on Saturday? Is it not factory order?

Hi Yusee,

Purely by chance on that one. My original choices were Atlantic Blue and Indium Grey, those were completed builds in Germany and could have had one of those end of Jan.
However, having seen all the great photos, I decided on Isaac Blue and my dealer had one in stock (cancelled order) which I can take this weekend, so it has all happened very quickly indeed.

I did want Dynaudio ideally as well, but was lucky enough to find the model to my liking!

Now Bresica's or Parkers??  :laugh: :laugh:

Cant wait!  :smiley:

Well done, skippy- the car you want, and no wait.
The only thing I added ( other than paint) was Dynaudio- it's a good value option but I don't use it to its potential tbh.
The less you spec, the less that can go wrong- particularly important if you plan to keep long term.
Best of luck with the pick up on Saturday.

To be fair, on the 2019MY GTI's there isn't a lot you can spec, most of the options are thrown in as standard now.  From memory, the only things I could have added other than metallic paint, Brescias and Dynaudio were the pan roof and DCC.

Yes that's true. Too well specified imo- and too expensive as a result.
Most of the tech I hardly use, but it has cost me!

I use most of it. So I appreciate your subsidy.  :laugh:

Thank you very much Yusee, I will post up a new arrival photo! Yes - indeed, they are very well specced out anyway, I wanted to keep the spec low (and hence the cost), because of future residuals with the MK8 and EV's in the future.
