Yeah the xenons are standard and with the PP it gives you driving mode options. Worth waiting for the right spec. Prices have come down since I got mine in March. Luckily I found a low mileage 1 owner car with all the spec. Good luck with the search and it's definitely worth it. The R is also coming down in price but with basic spec.
Rather Than make a new post will add here. Does the performance pack on the post 14 year cars come with the Uprated diff, one I am looking at is a 64 plate with the red rear GTI badge dealer is not sure if it has?
