Makes me look forward to mine so much more! Having seen one in person i know the pics just don't do it justice, stunning mate, enjoy! 8)


I notice you don't have a tax disc in! Could you post a pic of the Richbrook one in place when you've put it in please? I think i'm gonna get one just not sure whether to go Monza red or white? :-\

Thanks Jimble!  You are so right mate, pictures do not do it justice, and no matter how many good words people write about it, it still doesn't prepare you for just how good it really is.

Aye, no tax disc yet, not come through the post.  However, I will definitely post a picture once it's in place.  I agonised over white or red too, and in the end I took mine to a store that sells them and had the guy manually hold them up for me in the windscreen of my Mk5 so I could gauge how they looked.  The white looked OK, and would be better suited to the Pure White rather than Candy White. However, red just worked so well, picking out the red in the grille, callipers, and interior trim.

Cool, i'll probably go with the red too tbh for the same reasons you mention, has it still got Richbrook on the back?

Yeah it has, etched in white so matches the car  :grin:  Pretty small logo though, so doesn't detract too much.

@Gryzor Wahoo! So, so nice mate! That's exactly how mine will look when the day comes. Can't wait to use the keyless entry on a day-to-day basis.

What's this Richbrook Tax Disc holder look like. Link?

Edit: Just had a quick shufty on eBay £19.97. They look reet cool.

Cheers bud, and yup, that's exactly what yours will look like, absolutely stunning.  Gives me exactly the same smiles and thrills as with my Mk5, just more of them!  Keyless is just brilliant.

These tax disc holders just tastefully finish off the car nicely, and look way nicer than a piece of plastic dealer crap;

Edit: shop around, you can get them for around £15 I think

On the way to last base I'd say!  Honestly mate, I know you have a decent car already, but this GTI has blown me away, and I already had a good example of a Mk5 before!  You are going to love it  :drool:
