Have you ordered an 8.5 ?

Lovely stuff, looks fantastic - welcome to 8.5 club ! 

[GTI_for_her!]

Well, that the Clubsport in the garage after the 350 mile drive home from Sheffield. Very happy with the way it drives. Feels lighter on its toes than the S3 and steering is defo a bit lighter.
I'll miss some of the handy buttons (climate control, drive modes, etc) but found the new screen easy to use, very clear and below my eye line for the bottom of the front windscreen.
Its covered in dead flies but I'll get some pics up when cleaned.

My only real negative is the tyres. It drives smothly on the Hankooks but they have very little sidewall protection for the alloys compared to the Goodyear Supersports on the S3.
I'm not going kerb hunting but its nice to have some decent tyre lip.
The S3 leaves us on tuesday and was a great car, no negatives on it but I just keep going back to Gti's!!

I guess steering in S3 is closer to Golf R, where it is heavier than in GTI.

Congrats with the purchase, love new Clubsport in White. So classy and sporty. No wonder they choose white for all Clubposrt press cars and advertisements.

I got confirmation from the dealer today that my car has made the boat as of yesterday and is meandering its way across the water to Dublin as we speak. Nearly there....

And a few fresh from the detailers....


Like the wheel badges, where are they from?

[Knightroturbo]

Cheers

Apologies, I'm not very frequent the forum so only just read your question. The gel badges I designed & had them made up my a company called Stickers International. They were a bit pricey but to me it was worth it !

Info should be there, hope that helps. 25mmx10mm was the size I ordered.
