Leaked by the official VW dealer in Brussels, but don't quote me on it ...

Cloth/Leather seats

Golfball on manual gear stick

R32 smoked rear lights

special "30 years" floor mats

230bhp

GTI "30 years" badge on steering wheel

Special alloys (bbs I think, 19")

"30 years" badges around the cars exterior

Will prob not be avail in Belgium, if they are, only about 10 will be imported

Production starts sep/oct 2006

Got this info because they put my GTI order through 2day (MY07)

For me, not worth the extra +/- €3000, as there are some decent tuners in BE to get up to 240bhp for €1250.

Dealer is giving me the R32 rear lights, think they look much better on gti

tbh the only thing that would interest me on there is the power upgrade, which I'll be doing through Morego (getting the £150 p.a. warranty cover too and around 20bhp more) so I think it's an expensive "option" to have the Anni imho.

Of course, residual values are likely to be higher and the car may look a bit more special, I'll have to pass that judgement when I see it.

Looks like i was on the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

In fact that could even be a copy/paste from my email 3 months ago!

I was just 5hp out on the BHP, but i suppose i didn't factor in optimax beerchug.gif

Anni's are only ever cosmetic and slightly livelier, worth the extra... IMO yes, but of course it's subjective. But that said, previous GTI's have never looked as good as the Mk V, so maybe this anni will be a wee bit OTT!!! UHOH7.GIF

Would def reflect the extra bhp in the insurance premium. Usually goes in 10% increments of original (200bhp) OEM power.

I agree Robin. It may not push it up another group, but it would certainly increase your premium. They may also take into account that it's a more expensive car and maybe stolen more often due to its rareity.

I don't like the idea of naff badges in and on the car stating '30 years' - a bit too Citroen AX 'Tahiti' for me. A simple GTI badge is all that is required, thank you. After all, what captures VW's sporting heritage better than these three letters?

230bhp would be nice, but not much else would tempt me.

19" wheels is just overkill and I hope it's not the BBS CH design, because I think they're a bit too "80s".

I wouldn't want a car with "30 years" plastered all over it either.

I'm taking this spec with a pinch of salt though.

Best looking wheel around. I always find people with 17's say that 19's are overkill!!! 169144-ok.gif

Me 2, as I said, don't quote me on all of this.

I just asked my dealer before I signed my GTI order...

BTW, in case anyone wants to know, these are the changes to MY07 in Belgium :

-green instead of blue glass mad.gif

-GPS no longer has 6cd changer included in armrest, there is a choice between IPOD/USB/CD-Changer for 230 euros

-passenger side rear view mirror moves downwards when in Reverse gear, included in parking sensors pack

-storage pack is no longer on option list

-3 buttons for remote control garages / gates as option
