Title: The GTD has arrived
Post by: Chris.Air on 21 December 2011, 17:35
Well after 9 months of waiting it's arrived and I love it. Even the leather was looking forward to the cloth as I have had leather in all my recent cars.
Just need to order my rns510 and it will be sorted.
This is my first white car and already its bogging:-(


A well chuffed Chris :-)))))

Surely stating you've got a new car on a forum and not putting some photos up is a ban-able offense?!

The wheels I have to admit are a lot nicer in the flesh and xenons are a must now:-)
The cruise I will retro fit with the RNS a lot cheaper ;-)

I can understand fitting the rns later for alot cheaper but cruise control is how much cheaper than factory but no warranty?

Cruise is way more expensive to retro fit on 2011 MY up @ £300 ish

But if a car without it becomes available sooner, it would probably work out cheaper to take it and pay the extra to retro fit cruise than it would suffer further depreciation on the px (if there is one)

Love it, best colour and gorgeous wheels!

Would also consider retro fit RNS myself, had nav in my last car and really wanted it; but £1700+ from factory  :shocked:.

I'll use the search at some point and work out how/where/how much etc.

Detritus.

Feck £300ish I thought it was a stalk and than get it programed in. How wrong was I :-(
Oh well not to worry.

Just waiting on the wife coming in from work so I can give her her first wash :-)

To be honest, while it's nice to have it added to the spec list, I rarely use cruise control in this country, other than the occasional very early morning motorway jaunts.

Yeah agreed. I can get more MPG with it off and reading the road ahead than with it on.
Only time I use it is in average speed camera areas.
