German Beach & Coast seem to come on the 17" steelies instead of the 16" Clayton alloys which are standard on a UK Beach:



18" Gen Six type wheels (perhaps called 'Disc' ?) now in two colours:

Ich spreche kein Deutsch, but a quick Google Translate only says:

Rear tent.
The tent, made of moisture-resistant and flame-retardant material, can be quickly and conveniently fitted to the open tailgate.

It can be used in a variety of ways, for example as a living space extension, toilets, weather protection or to provide better ventilation in summer.

The removable door entry has a lockable mosquito screen.

Tailgate tent is something that exists longer time , maybe not in UK .
Steels have gone bigger indeed , there was a tread on this a few weeks ago.

I love the two-tone yellow and white variant - like fried egg on wheels

Some but not all of those colour options were available in the UK from 2 June. Unfortunately not the silver and Acapulco Blue which I'd have gone for in a heartbeat. Toyed with the idea of white and green...but bottled it and went for flat white. The yellow and white is the other one that's not available in the UK.

I think they all look good on paper, but I worry about how it'd look full size in the flesh!

We saw a German registered two-tone white and baby blue Beach in Portugal last month, so I assume that must've been wrapped rather than a pukka VW colour combo

You can get a cheaper version of tail gate tent, I bought one on a whim at vw sandown park show a few years ago for £99. Thought it would be handy, but have never used it!
