Stinks it won't fit the GTI spoiler/hatch. It only fits the Golf hatch.
If im not wrong, the standard wing is included, that's what it looks like to me

I know it was written somewhere in the parts list breakdown that it will not fit a GTI or R. You are more than welcome to try it and report back
I am going to respectfully have to disagree.. I believe it WILL fir a GTI or an R as the metal hatch stamp (I believe) is the exact same, its just that the GTI and R that we know already has an additional kit that covers the smaller metal spoiler..
Agree. Believing doesn't help anyone, facts do matter (and help). Part numbers
are different, hatches are entirely different. And that's what they actually look:
regular Golf and GTI Clubsport with integrated small roof spoiler (all sheet steel):
GTI, GTD, Golf R, Golf BlueMotion, prepared to accommodate the bigger plastic roof spoiler:
The GTI hatch is some kind of naked without the GTI roof spoiler, it requires that
spoiler to be complete.
The Clubsport wing on the other hand doesn't fit either the "nude" GTI hatch or
the GTI/GTD/R plastic spoiler. It's designed to exactly fit the standard Golf hatch.
On a side note,
that's the reason VW doesn't offer the GTI spoiler as OE/Driver Gear eqipment for
standard Golf but a dedicated roof spoiler instead, shaped to fit the regular hatch.
You can disagree all you want. I'm just going by what VW has stated and nothing more. I'm sure there are a ton of GTI owners on this forum and other forums who would love for you to prove VW wrong.
Swapping with a Golf owner > win-win situation. You still need
to find someone in your area and with the same color though.

While the regular GTI Clubsport shares the very most parts with the
GTI Performance, the low-sample Clubsport S comes with the above
listed dedicated hardware* for an improved performance on track. Keep
in mind, these are GTI Clubsport S parts, not just GTI Clubsport parts.
VW claimed they ran the Nurburgring record lap with a stock Clubsport
S model. If that's true, these are the record-braking pads and rotors.
From theory these brake pads should provide increased performance
while still daily driveable. They're certainly no hardcore track-only
parts like Pagid RS29 or Endless NA35 etc., which would annoy you
with squeal.
Unfortunately, the rear pads don't fit NA market GTI Performance, as
ROW/Euro Golfs use to come with an eletromechanical parking brake
thus different rear calipers and pad shape.
They do fit all Golf R though, as well as ROW/Euro GTI Performance
and GTI Clubsport. Anyways, these parts are likely hard to obtain in
the US and Canada.
Contrarily, the front brakes are the same on both NA and ROW/Euro
versions on all GTI Performance, GTI Clubsport and R (despite color).
The latter means, that the front brake pads will fit on any of these
performance Golfs equipped with the bigger 340 mm brakes. If those
rotors will fit as well? I depends on the wheels bearings I guess. The
Clubsport S uses Audi TT bearings (8S part number) and I cannot
guarantee these wheel bearings are the same physical dimensions as
the GTI/R ones. Different bearing width may make need for different
rotor hat height/offset. So someone would need to try the rotors first
or if required as well use TT bearings.
Hope you get what I'm talking about.

Thank you Ben; looking forward to the follow up.Hallo!
All the parts listed do appear on the unofficial ETKA on internet but also at my local VW dealer here in France. Prices are not listed however, which supports what you say: not yet available.
Not sure whether the "C" front rotors are plug&play with R/S3/PP hubs and carriers, will report here whenever I find out.
Cheers,
Ben
