Someone mentioned about the wing mirrors filling up with rain water when folded but they're open at the bottom when folded:

And something i hadn't noticed before and am a little disappointed with tbh, the line in grill is grey and chrome which looks pretty cool but the line in the headlamps is just chrome unlike the GTI!? :angry:

Great pics Jimble, just how mine will look if it ever bloody turns up :grin:
One thing I don't like is the fried egg look of the indicator in the first pic. Might have to invest in some clear bulbs if its possible ?

I think there is an orange building next to the dealership mate, they don't look like that normally, you can see the orange but not much.
Edit: Yup, there is an orange building next to it! ;D

Not been on for a while as my due date is mid October and decided to enjoy last few weeks of my A3 before casting thoughts to the coming GTD.
But as was in MK today decided to go and have a look in, and a Midnight Blue GTD - DSG was there and all I can say is wow, first time seen one in flesh and better than imagined :smiley:
Really loved the wheels too again look even better in flesh.
They kindly let me have a sit and interior is a again nicer than expected. :smiley:
Not a colour even considered but think contrasts really well with silver and you will not be disappointed if that is your combination.
Think these photos say the rest, such a great looking car - Mine is the white which these 2 photo are ones found but will keep me going after seeing the GTD today.

Red is way down on my personal favourite colours and think white is streets ahead in that head to head though feel the Carbon may actually be the best colour for the GTD now from seeing more and more given how chrome/silver contrasts and compliments it so well.
Midnight Blue looked really good today on GTD also.
Pure White or Carbon would however be my only dilemma colour wise if was choosing from outset but as it stands more than happy with Pure White given weight of evidence in favour such as this thread and Jimble photo and comments.

Thanks for the reassurance, am sticking with the white!!
Kept clean, is far & above the best colour, phew thanks :laugh:

Hey guys, just something I've just noticed from Jimble's photos above, I thought the mirrors had puddle lights built in, but I can't see them ?
If they are on the other side of the mirror (that we can't see in the photo), and you set the mirrors to fold in and out automatically with the key, doesn't that mean (if they are there somewhere), that rather than illuminate the floor, they will shine backwards down the car - or am I missing something ?

Hopefully those who have their GTI/GTD can confirm but my thinking was that as you press the fob to open doors the mirrors activate, lock into place and the puddle lights then illuminate downwards (so light must be hidden on other side)
Not sure how that works for keyless but puddle lights definitely standard fit on all GTI/GTD.

The puddle lights are definitely there alright. Can't say I've paid much attention to what direction the light shines in them though, I haven't driven mine much in the dark yet.
The mirrors do not unfold on unlocking. They don't unfold until you start the ignition.

As long as fold when I am out of car and then look to lock, then I am happy as that is one of my issues with present car in that have to fold the mirrors manually and THEN look to get out of car without them as assistance and that is a little hairy at times ..
One of attractions of the GTD is that is has all the packs, IE: Mirror as standard
Saw the local GTD demo today (already photographed by someone and on site) in my colour and looks amazing makes my present look bulky and dare say a little dated in comparison.
