New Golf GTI open for order £38,900 OTR

[schmeil1]

I shall be through the door at Ipswich VW first thing on Thursday morning (20th) to place my order 

I have decided on the Grenadilla Black with the 19'' Estoril Black wheels.

I've had a mk6 and a mk7 Golf (both GT trim) in the past and I'm currently in a 2016 Tiguan SEL (195,000 on the clock!!) but I have always wanted a GTi 

Cannot wait 

Grenadilla black? 

Each to their own 

Red, white, black or varying shades of grey - I don't find the colour choice terribly inspiring 

And I appreciate that black is not the easiest colour to keep clean looking but My car. My choice

The "Black pack" was always an option here in Ireland on the MK8 for both the GTI and R. It deleted the red stripe (or blue stripe on R), replaced with a black stripe and you got the black mirror caps. It was around 450-500 quid. The headlight housings were not different though, so this is the only difference in the 8.5.

I think it works better on the R, as the blue stripe on the R grill is a bit naff imo... whereas the red one on the GTi is a bit more "signature" .

  Yes, I am a real person 

Long time VW lover from Beach Buggy days as a late teen (Buggy was stored for a long time, then completely rebuilt and was a Volksworld cover star on Sept 2006 issue  ) then a 1302s Beetle with a 2276cc 48IDA na monster of an engine, and then as mentioned a Golf 6 GT, Golf 7 GT and then laterly a Tiguan.

This will be my first GTi  (and hence new to this forum  )

Deposit paid and build secured, but exact numbers for my deal yet to be finalised as the finance quotes will not open in Connect OnLine and finance calculator until tomorrow Friday 21 June 

So far so good. Grenadilla Black Metallic, Alloy wheels 19'' 'Estoril' Black and a Folding Trailer Hitch, with Electric Release. £41,745.00

I am looking on the website and wondering why you can only order Oyster Silver Metallic with the black roof?
Is everyone else seeing the same?

Yep, but makes no sense as it's available in other markets.

TBH I don't trust VW's configurators.

That’s a very nice “stealth black” look……and quite a contrast to a very high mileage Tiguan!
