        I think it's great! The GTI features the strip too, in red. I've not found it distracting at all in the 7 GTI I drove at night. Only shame is it's not installed in the rear doors.

            Wow, not a cheap tyre, surprised they didn't put the cheaper ones that comply on.

              Pffft. Wouldn't take anything else from them. Not good enough to come with the wrong tyres. They (VGA) agreed and were great to deal with throughout.

                Drive up in the hills for first time today.
                Tell ya what - WOW! So tight compared to mk6. If mk5 r32 understeer was 9/10, mk6R was 7/10, this mk7 is a 3/10 at worst. Sooooo different. Loved the Twisties. Great views too!

                  What's the story - was there a fault with the Pirelli's?

                        Awesome tyre, but VGA really took too long to resolve your complaint. I hope you have no more issues.

                            Did they recall all mk7 R's for tyre change?
