Hi guys, as i said in another thread, I popped into my dealer tonight to "discuss" my order, and found that just that afternoon, they had received their first UK GTI.
Well it would have been rude not to take some photos (although I only had my phone with me, but here goes. Particularly like the GTI that appears in the Sat Nav start up screen when loading.....
Oh yes and look, Winter Pack with cloth seats... :angry:http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/Smileys/modern/angry.gif

Looks very nice
good to see it has fabric and winter pack.

Continental tyres on that GTI - hopefully I won't get sh!tty Dunlops on my GTD.
-
Great photos Norbreck My dealer took delivery of their white one today but not ready until tomorrow for public view.
I would be interested to know what your impressions were seeing it in the flesh?
-
Which Dealer? may go and have a look this weekend
-
Oh yeah, found these in the Glovebox as well, the tops of the GTI keys..

That's really good to hear :smiley: :smiley:

The one one shown there is a non performance pack Gti also??

Thanks for posting this, you've officially posted the thread of the day :laugh:
-
So much confusion as to whether you can get carbon grey or not and then you see a picture of one :angry:
Wife's preferred colour

+1 great pics!!

If I was religious about washing my cars I would get Carbon Grey.

I am! So I have.
is it really that difficult to look after though?

yep- not performance pack - no gti on callipers.

No worse than any other dark metallic or pearl. I'm overly paranoid about swirls and marks, ignore me.

me too.
Ive even told the dealer not to touch it.
Once sat in an audi dealership watching an r8 get rubbed down with what looked like a dishcloth!

No it's not my mk6 is carbon grey and fine, no issues with a cg mk7 joining the fleet
-
Looking very nice, especially the wheels, so glad those are standard
-
Thanks for posting the pics, it does make the wait a little easier to take! Lovin the GTI logo on the nav unit! :cool:

+1 My MK6 is CSG and it's definitely not in the same league of showing dirt as my MK5 which was black!

Is the golf ball gear knob in the photos standard fitment? I've specified it as as an option as it's showing as an option on the VW configurator.

It is standard. Quite why it's an option for the GTI only VW knows cause it's defo standard - so you've saved some cash right there!

You can't configure it, it's standard. Do you mean that generic "sports gear knob" for £125 in the accessories bit?

Yes, that's what I mean - apologies, it's late! :laugh:
-
Good news - how rubbish is that configurator! My dealer thought the golf ball was an option too - it hasn't been standard on any normal GTIs (except the Anniversary and Edition models) since the Mk 2 in 1991.
I've specified cloth winter pack and lane assist too - after reading earlier posts, goodness knows what will happen with those options!
-
The speedo really should have had the larger numbers at 30, 50 and 70... is there an option to show mph as a digital readout on the VII? I notice that the km/h figures are now on the gauge unlike the Mk VI.

I had a 1.6TDI S Mk7 as a hire car last weekend and it was able to show mph on the basic digital display (in large numbers).
-
I notice that the km/h figures are now on the gauge unlike the Mk VI.
That's a shame as I prefer the less cluttered look of the Mk6 speedo and don't mind the digital kph.

Had ordered a GTD in black - have now changed to Carbon Grey! Love CG but as wasnt on configurator didnt think it was available.

+1 Come on VW sort ya Sh*t out
Crap clocks, crap configurator, crap order track system the list goes on.
And I keep coming back for more :rolleyes:

Nice bit of kit, carbon grey has always been my fav colour!
