GTI Edition 50 order thread

[Pooksta_5]

Congrats to all picking up their brand new shiny Edition 50s.

Pooksta - The darken taillights and badge on the Tornado Red looking cracking, as does the alcantara steering wheel! What did you get done detailing wise?

Garwen - has your dealer called you back to get you plaque added post taking delivery of your car?

What's people's thoughts on running summer (Potenza Race) and Winter 18 inch tyre set up. I don't think you'll be able to extract much in the deep winter days with the semis. I would prefer VW OEM 18s but there was no option when ordered unlike in the EU. Always liked the Golf R's Pretoria alloy. Perhaps I can run 18 inch pretoria in sliver in the winter If I can find some at reasonable price, and the 19s Warmenau on sliver in the summer.

As for my order, it's currently stuck in the gulag. Sept build slot now, but unconfirmed build slot, so likely Oct/Nov Delivery.

front end, mirror caps, black gloss side sills, and the roof all in PPF. Rest of the car Gtechniq ultra with EXO. Only EXO on top of the PPF. First time I’ve had PPF, so need to let it bed in for a month or so and get its first clean under the belt before I can fully judge it. But so far happy with it, barely notice it’s there. I also had the black gloss centre console PPF’d, it’s a cracking job on that. Guess it will take time to fully judge the PPF. Not cheap though so fingers crossed haha

Comprehensive protection! Also great idea on PPF the piano black centre console, I’ll copy that idea!

Thanks for the info guys, yes Ive hadG-Techniq coatings for years and you'd even wonder sometimes about them but the stance of the 50 is definitely making me think PPF is a serious option to consider.
Joe was it Flawless (Expel) you used do you mind me asking.

I am definitely getting PPF on mine. Only question is front and side or just PPF the whole car. Very much leaning towards the latter, but XPEL official installer next to me is going to be expensive. Plus it seems they only do XPEL ceramic coating rather than G-Tech who everyone raves about. But I’m not going to two separate detailers, that’s a faff.

My spider senses says it about 5k for both.

Ouch, but look if your going to keep car what can you do, and Vw current paint is so soft.

He gets customers coming to him from all over the country. Very highly regarded. Last time I spoke to him he said he had a few 50’s booked in.
