I'd be waiting for the 45th Anniversary/Clubsport version anyways, so that's no stress here.

Everything I read I approve of. It 'real world' photographs soooo much better than its CGI/Studio shots too.

@Watts mk7.5 GTI TCR has an ‘SOS’ button, which I assume is the accident emergency call feature. It’s mentioned in the post at the link below, and there’s a picture of it - in the overhead console - in reply #9 in that post.

@mcmaddy; maybe mk7.5 Golfs aren’t affected by this software issue. The way I read the article at the link posted by Fred, it’s the software associated with the emergency call feature in the mk8 Golf where there are issues.

Hopefully your TCR won’t be affected.

Definitely agree real-world photos look so much better. And black Prets suit it very well.

Edition 45 will be due in 21 so could be the first version to arrive in the UK?!

I know some of you will have seen this before, but for those that haven't, here are the Mk8 GTi wheel choices (i'd expect the 17's are for markets outside the UK);-
