@Watts, congrats. Forget the colour- you’ll get over that. Real question is will you miss a proper gearbox?
Now that is a good question. Probably, yes. I like things to be simple, with the manual there's no buggering about with sport modes, you just put your foot down and you're off. My PP had a really eager character, much of that down to the pedalbox mind, but it was ready to go whenever I wanted it to. Once I've got to grips with the DSG and fitted the pedalbox I'm hoping some of that character will be there too. But I'm already seeing that the TCR for me is not just the gearbox, there's plenty of other niceties to enjoy and even if I haven't as yet discovered the eagerness in it, it does have lots of character.
That looks superb Watts. Pistonheads have even changed their landing page photo in homage to white GTI's for you
Thanks Philip
I can't see that on PH, do you have a link please?
Thanks! I saw your alloys thread and I must say the Oz wheels do look really good. I wasn't a fan of black wheels either but I'm being converted
I think I am too now after also seeing your TCR as well
Yeah, get those OZ wheels back on! Actually the garage I got my TCR from had a white 3dr CS with similar black OZ wheels. It was a great looking car, manual, recaros and around 12k miles. I was tempted briefly but as I'm looking more for a long term car I wanted to get as new as possible. Also they wanted nearly £28k for it
