Re: New GTI + delivery

Re: New GTI + delivery

@gonk1959; you’ll have been speaking to the call centre of the insurer who underwrites VW free insurance, so on this occasion it’s not VW but the insurance company who’ll be the cause of your frustration. Bearing in mind free insurance hadn’t been available on the GTI or GTI+ for some time (was it ...

Re: New GTI + delivery

He said the Polo Gti is made in South Africa but then goes to Germany for inspection before uk delivery, so I am not sure how long that would take. Interesting. http://www.carmag.co.za/news_post/vw-finalises-new-polo-pricing-gti-to-be-built-in-sa/ All variants of the previous Polo GTI model were bu...

Re: New GTI + delivery

I didn't drive it in the dark yesterday ti know for sure (in case lighting function was linked to the light sensor for headlights - doubt it would be that sophisticated in control), but on the Golf's sills you could see the translucent bit the light shone through and I can't see it here, So I'd say...

My GTI plus came with standard mats no red piping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You should have red stitching, not red piping. If you didn't get red stitching then you've been diddled. My new today white one has red stitched mats, as does my pre-wltp red one. Prefer rubber mats - they look new...

Nice. I nearly went for black but opted for white instead. Also same as you with standard wheels purely because they seem easier to get at the calipers for cleaning. my current wheels are a nightmare trying to reach the red calipers
