Spotted one of these yesterday morning on Manchester Rd in Mooroolbark, I love that body kit. The whole car looks absolutely mint!
Jealous!

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Looks great! They sit well for stock suspension.Comment

Yeah looks good in red. The increased black decals on the side, front/rear spoiler & roof break it up nicely.MY16 MK7 Golf GTI

I think it will settle over time and look even better. I don't want to change anything as it handles so well, corner flat and very supple over bumps etc.. reminds me of a Porsche.[/COLOR] 2016 VW Golf GTI MK7 40 Years, DSG, Tornado Red, Tinted Windows,

Personally looking forward to it being the first car that I won't need to touch the suspension one bit. Everything/everyone so far suggests it's got the perfect balance between sportiness/feedback and comfort. I don't have anything against suspension/chassis upgrades and I've done a fair share of them on my cars and enjoyed it for the most part. It's just that although you certainly improve handling, grip, road feel etc. you can never set the balance the same way a manufacturer does and on a car that's used as a daily it gets tiring over time. If what I've been reading is correct the Clubsport should feel firmer and more direct than the rest of the Golfs, but not uncomfortable and for me that will be a big win.Originally posted by Billecartz View PostComment

It handles perfectly, the only reason you would lower it would be for aesthetics, but as VW has spent so much time on the suspension setup it may not be as good as it is now.Originally posted by ringo View Post[/COLOR] 2016 VW Golf GTI MK7 40 Years, DSG, Tornado Red, Tinted Windows,

Ever since I put my order in I've been scouring YouTube for videos of Red CS's (as this is what I've ordered) I think this is my favourite so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLB5xwtVDl0Comment

So Sth Africa gets the lighter/nicer rims and you can option the Recaros. Australia folks.

Agreed this is another good vid, there are a few now but yet to see a head to head vs the R. Even though it appears to be better over all.Originally posted by Cruiser View Post
The red does grow on me but I think I'd still go for white.GOLF GTI MY11 ADIDAS Candy White, Sunroof

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing that head to head. The Red was the first I saw and fell in love with it straight away, besides I had a white GT Forester years ago and it was an accident magnet, seven in the ten years I owned it, not one of them my fault.Originally posted by Bassik View Post

Haven't seen a red in person yet TBH. But from what I've seen its nice. I've had white polo and current white Gti. Before that was yellow and red. I could go back to red but it tends to fade bad over time. Plus I'm a sucker for the combo red/white/black.
When's yours arrive?

Yeah I was a bit worried about fading, I've been looking at Opti-coat to try and alleviate the issue, but think I'll just have to pay more attention polish/wax the paintwork. Spoke to the dealer today and it has arrived but I asked for a delayed mid September hand over so I could raise some additional capital to payout my existing lease early so as to not be paying two leases at once.Originally posted by Bassik View Post
