Nice car Dave, looks awesome!  Can I ask what date did you order it?
No worries ordered end of March for September delivery but as I got private plate had it early - it arrived at dealers early - 1st week August so not too long really

Looks fantastic mate.  Right colour, right number of doors, wheels just 1" too large ;)  I will hopefully be collecting mine the first week in September, can't wait!

Did you always intend on getting a private plate, or did you decide on getting one mid-August?  Seems a bit long for a dealer just to prep the car!

I ve had plate years just the golf arrived bit early and I had to dispose of old car - that was collected today so tried to ensure both happened at the same time and as quickly as possible
Thanks for comments - only one problem was damaged alloy which they are changing
You will be so happy with your car it's the nuts !

Ah, makes total sense then. Shame about your alloy though, but great that it's getting sorted out so quickly.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to it - definitely making sure I'm "working from home" that day ;)

Did you test drive before ordering ? Only asking as today is first time I've actually sat in one

Nope, only ever sat inside a regular Mk7 to test that my album art displayed correctly!  I have a Mk5 GTI at the moment anyway, had it for over 8 years, and even that still brings a smile to my face.  With all of the reviews and comments on here, I felt no need at all to test drive it, and am happy for my first experience of it to be in my own :)

Yeah same as me though never owned a VW before . Reading reviews I couldn't go wrong really and like you after ordering avoided them as wanted my first experience to be with my car so as not to spoil the surprise if that makes sense

Makes total sense mate :)  I've been thoroughly impressed with my current GTI so had no reservations at all.  It's got all the toys and gadgets I want, faster, quieter, smoother, more efficient, better looking...no brainer really!
