Congratulations Dave. Looks the business, and the best colour too. Really like the standard Watkins Glen wheels as well.

I still enjoy driving my GTD as much now after a year of ownership as I did when I first took delivery. On the build quality front; maybe I've been lucky as my car's been pretty much squeak and rattle free, apart from the occasional buzz from the dashboard. I agree with you, there's lots of little touches that make the interior a nice place to be.

Enjoy............................. :smiley:

think the 35 on the rear is a must, i've taken the GTI off the back and car looks less cluttered with just the 35

i ran mine in gently before i put my plan in action and have to say as a standard car its a cracker out the box

The grey looks fantastic, it has such a depth to it when you see it in the flesh.

I think the DSG is excellent. I have a company Jag at the moment and the auto on that is so clumsy it's untrue.

A 35 badge on the rear is one of the few things if like to do, give it a few weeks and it'll be done.

No keyring! The dealer gave me some VW ones but if the ED35 keyringd come from VW then it may well be on its way.

Haven't been out in it today, but I'm genuinely looking forward to the morning when I can get back in it!!

When I bought my GTD, I narrowed the colour choice down to either Candy White or Carbon Grey. As I'd had white cars in the late 80's / early 90's when white was one of THE colours for hot / warm hatches, I decided on Carbon Grey and haven't regretted my choice - seems easier to look after than black (my previous 3 cars were black - must be a glutton for punishment!). I agree with Big Dave, Carbon Grey does look good - especially in bright light after polishing, glazing and waxing.

always been smitten with the carbon grey, the diamond pearl black on the Pirelli is a pain in the a$$ to look after
