Thanks Becs. It's looks amazing in the sun which is very unusual for Scotland. Think it will take me some time to get used to automatic

Looks great Craig  :cool:
Lapiz is such an awesome colour, I'd find it very difficult to pick something else (if in the unlikely event I was to upgrade any time soon).
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

You'll get used to DSG Craig, give it time.  I reckon it takes a good 6 weeks regular driving to get fully au fait with it, so don't beat yourself up if you are finding it a challenge. So people comdemn it after only a couple of days with it. Worth reading that DSG sticky thread on vwroc (General Chat) if you haven't already.

Looks amazing Craig. Great colour choice  :cool: You'll get used to the DSG. Manual driver all my life and 2 months in I love the DSG.    :wink:

Thanks Joe. Your right about the colour, it was the easiest decision I've ever made. It had to be lapis blue although I do know there are quite a few on the road.

Thanks Becs. Once I was given the car I sat there for 10mins figuring out how to move it 300yrds into my car park  :grin: :grin:. Really looking forward to learning about the box and I'm sure I'll get used to it. Must just remember not to use my left foot to brake.  :grin:

Thanks Sam. Same here pal, manual on every car but for me the R just had to have DSG as it's the best combination in my opinion to get the max out of the car

Great car, I am thinking of going from GTI to R for a change with DSG. As much as I think the GTI is a cracking I have had 3 before so R seems the next step.

I will look forward to hearing how you get on.

Having had a Mk7 PP GTi for only 11 months before swapping to an R, "If" I have another Golf current thinking is I would go for a 5dr GTi Performance Pack DSG in Deep Black Pearl with a fair few boxes ticked in the options list. Having said that I can't fault your choice of Lapiz Blue 👍 They look great when they have just been fettled. Enjoy it  :grin:

Took delivery of my MK7.5 Isaac Blue GTI yesterday. Weather was rubbish yesterday but has been a bit dryer this afternoon so gave it a good clean.

Absolutely over the moon with it so far. Love the colour and also very pleased that I decided to upgrade the wheels and seats.
