Usually cheaper aren't they if you buy as part of a build?
I think all of them would be fitted as standard and then some imo.

Not many ppl are bothered by a siren but it has its uses.

I have 1 on mine as it is limited spec and although i wouldn't entrust my life to it, it is better than not having 1 so yes get 1.:-)

I’m about to order a mk8 trend, the thatcham cat 1 is a extra £250 and thought was it worth it, as someone said they come with alarms now.

I’d say it’s worth the extra, cheaper than lost earnings and replacing your tools
