Said goodbye to the GTI today, picked up an S1 in Vegas yellow, I'll try n post a few pics later.
The GTI was my favourite car to date by some stretch, just fancied something different and 4wd.
Initial thoughts on the 150 mile return journey, the S1 feels quicker, sounds a lot better, seats aren't as comfortable / supportive but it is finished better inside as expected. It's got most of the big ticket options - leather, bose, 18's, nav, keyless, comfort pack, so is a bit better equipped than my vanilla GTI pp. Can't comment on handling yer as it was all boring A roads on the way back but in dynamic mode the car rides a lot stiffer than my non DCC GTI.

I'll get you some snaps up tomorrow JB to ease the pain

Got hold of an OEM Audi TT front to back short shifter mechanism - cheap mod at £39

Might need a bit of help fitting - never fitted one myself and don't want to screw it up

Keep us informed with how you go - wouldn't mind doing this myself, if the gearstick skirt doesn't end up too baggy.

This won't move the gearstick down or anything - just shortens the throw front to back.

Won't change how baggy the skirt is in the slightest. If you want to see how it sits, just put it in any gear and pull it back towards neutral by 20ish percent and that's how it'll sit.

Get some pics up and keep us posted how you're getting on with the car.
Cool car and you certainly don't see many about.

Gnasher: Ah, I thought the stick might end up a bit shorter too, the stick sits quite tall in modern VWs.
