Car looks the nuts Gryzor, and looks very similar to how mine will look (albeit mine drinks the devils juice  :laugh:), it's now just making the wait even more painful.

Out of interest did you get the premium mats from the dealers, and if so (if you don't mind me asking), how much you paid for them, or did you do a deal ?

Cheers Norbreck :)  Haha, the devils juice will take you far my friend, further than mine ever could!

Yeah I got them from the dealers and got them thrown in for free, along with a tank of angel juice, round metal VW keyring, and GTI pencil  :grin:

I’m going to cancel if I don’t get my GTI pencil! :grin:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Too right, it's worth the asking price of the car alone, makes the GTI almost free!  :grin:

In terms of tax disc holders i ended up going for this one

I didnt really care that it did not match the GTI font, i just preferred the look of it  :smiley:

Not keen on the silver GTI one, it's not an official engraving by Richbrook (to my knowledge) and it's the wrong font.  My tax disc arrived this morning so here's a couple of snaps with it in-situ:





Just works so well with the rest of the car  :smiley:

It does stand out, but then again, if I look out of my window at other cars with dealer fit tax-disc holders, they both stand out and don't match anything.  Thing is, you never look at it close up, so that second photo does make it more "obvious" than it really is.

Richbrook used to make one that was either silver or titanium finish, with a carbon fiber look to the back of it.  Not sure if they still do, but that would work quite well with both the exterior and interior trim.

Yeah I saw that a while back, does look good, and would work in pretty much any colour GTI.  Looks like they are buying standard twist-off tax disc holders and engraving the logo themselves.  My only reservation with the anodised finish is that in the space of a year or so, there is noticeable fade on the outer-facing ring.  I've seen it on the red anoidised one and the blue ford one that my mate has in his focus.  The range that I got my Monza Red one from is a painted finish that doesn't fade at all.

Edit: Cheers Booth11 :)

Hi Gryzor, how do the coming home / leaving lights work with the Keyless entry? Do they only come on when you are standing next to the car? At the moment, my car just has the keyfob and as I have a long driveway, when I leave the house and press the keyfob the lights light up the drive. Was considering the Keyless, but this may put me off.

You can still unlock/lock the car from the remote, so I assume when you press the button the key the lights will turn on. Is this right?
