Hi guys,
Ordered a Clubsport Editon 40 a few weeks ago, but gotta wait until March 1st to get it.
My Local VW garage has sold a couple of Clubsport S, and will tip me off whenthey come in so I can goa nd take a look.
Anyone seen one in the flesh?
Jason.

Very jealous dude! They look awesome in the photos ive seen. Its going to be a long 4 months for you I bet but will be worth it!
-
Only 95 days to go!!!! but I'm so impatient! :wink:
Gotta sell my ED30 before then too so that willbe a sad day, but one that brings greater joy!
-
I was sad when I sold my MK5, soon got over it though in the S3 :happy2:
-
Yep, nothing like the excitment of a new car to get over your last car!!
S3 - Nice I like a lot!!
-
Wow,
Congratulations - a great choice with your new car! Must admit, the Clubsport is the one that I aspire to as my next VW after the ED30 (presuming I stay VW in future!). Look forward to seeing them on the used market in maybe 3-4 years...! Never seen one on the road, but notice a few are now on the dealer network.
So what options did you go with? The bucket seats are simply a must IMHO. The fussy 18" option wheel design isn't my favourite - the standard 18's look good enough to me. A Panoramic roof would be my other wish, and anything else a bonus...!
As said - it'll be a long wait, and hope you still enjoy your ED30 in the meantime!

Went to the golf anniversary thing in milton keynes a while ago.
Got to sit in either the clubsport S or the ed40 - whatever it was it was very nice. Seats are amazing!
-
Proper Jealous.
Look forward to your "Look whats turned up" post. :driver:
-
Thanks guys looking forward to it is an understatement! 90 days to go!!! :laugh:
Its a red 3 door manual, and I went with the tech pack for upgraded sat-nav & speakers, rear camera, winter pack, Brescia wheels, and Car-Net.
I ddn't really like the look of the wing back seats, think htye were ok and would have them if they were std, but not fussed enough to pay £1350 for them. Call me odd :wink:
Still love the Ed30, wish I could keep both!
:drinking:

Very nice, have you got an unconfirmed build week yet? I know what you're saying about the buckets, but I have a feeling they could be the extra all the buyers will be looking for when you come to sell? They're also heated as standard. Mine's getting built next week.
-
Hi Trev,
Lucky you!! What spec have you gone for?
Confirmed build date came though the other day. w\c 09th Jan. gettting very impatient!!!
My local dealer had its 2 Clubsport S delivered the other day so I got to go and look at them on Saturday, and sit in one, they are gorgeous, but wouldn't fancy one as an only car - too stripped out.
It did have the bucket seats which were lovely, but I don't think I'd want them long term, also they preclude the front arm rest, which I like. But I know what you mean, like the r32, everyone wants the wing backs!
Cheers!
Jason.

Can't wait to be seeing this every day!!

I had to look twice Jason, thought it was a bit early for the airbag to have gone off :laugh: :grin: :evilgrin:
More pics ASAP... Hope you enjoy it half as much as I would! :happy2: A manual fast hot hatch is already nearly a thing of the past :rolleye:

Hi Jason - 3 door dsg in white with a black roof, sunroof, rear camera, 90% tints, bucket seats, 19" brescias, DCC and a 5 year warranty. I had to have one as I've had all the editions 20, 25, 30 and 35! Can't wait. Cheers. Trev.

Look forward to seeing this Trev

I'll have a blast down to see you once I've got it. Yours is looking good, especially now it's been lowered. :evilgrin:

Same here, that's where I first saw it and got to sit in it.
Absolutely stunning piece of kit.

Hehe, yeah it was all wrapped up, fresh off the truck, with protectors and allsorts stuck allover it.
Might ask if I can keep the steering wheel cover for mine, in case I have to drive with dirty hands, keep the suede steering wheel nice!
The Clubsport S, were really nice, but if you tap the doors, or bonnet or roof its like a drum as there is absolutely no isnulation or sound deadening on the pannels. didn;t sound like a VW, more a 1980s Yugo!
But I guess the weight savign helps with the laptimes!
Also wouldn;t fancy the semi-slick tyres and 130PS FWD in this weather!! :driver:
TurboTrev
Nice!!! I do like them in White, shows of the black Clubsport highlights and reg GTI highlights the best, but I went for red, 3 door like you but manual and Brescia wheels, TechPack, rear camera, heated seats and carnet thingy (but I'm not 100% sure what that is\does).
Wow you're a reall collector! I've got a ED30, wish I could keep it to have both at the same time!
Cheers guys!

Use Nitrile/Latex gloves instead of a cover on the steering wheel. Probably safer.

Wow! Congratulations. Stunning car :happy2: :pomppomp:
