Just popped up to the dealer to look at my new GTD. Not collecting for about a week, but thought it rude not to post some photos, although most still have the transport sheets in place. As it's not actually a collection, I can't really put it into the new arrivals thread.
And I've got Bridgestone's not Dunlop's :smiley:
Totally in love with it and can't wait (sorry went a bit mad with the photos so apologies).............

Thats my car surely, looks exactly like it so surely some mix up :wink:
Makes my wait no easier by seeing these but still makes me very happy with what chose also :smiley:
PS: Pictures look great obviously but does look even better in flesh so glad it wowed you as that is what it is all about, particularly after the wait - Anyone doubting the white should seriously not it is a great colour for the GTI and GTD.
-
Awesome :D
Bet the week wont go quick enough now.

Looks the mutts nuts mate :wink:
-
Very nice!! :smiley:
-
Could've squeezed a couple of more photo's on :grin: Just kidding :smiley:
Car looks fantastic bet you're well chuffed!
Also thanks for the photo's. Looking at pictures of stunning peoples cars helps keep the excitement while I wait on mine :smiley:
-
Looks fantastic, I'm waiting on the 3 door version, hopefully being built by a German as I type!
-
looks great, i'm sure you'll love it and the rocco will be forgotten in the blink of an eye
-
Thanks guys. Yes, it will be a long week that for sure, good job I'm mad busy at work :grin:
Wigit, the Scirocco will always hold a place in my heart. It's been brilliantly reliable, and whilst it doesn't have the electronic tech of the MQB platform, even 5 years after launch, I think it still looks a fresh as a daisy, and much better than many coupé clones that have arrived since.

The Scirroco is still a great looking car where as my 3 year old A3 looks pretty dated now I feel.
One of things least mentioned in excited category is 5 Doors, really cannot describe how happy they are going to make me feel with all the daily hassle they will remove and without the lines being comprimised as a result.
-
Looking the BIZ! :cool: I really like the look of those Alloys.... Should turn a few heads!!
-
One problem mate, you took a photo of the audio unit and the volume control wasn't in the 12 o'clock position. Tut-tut :wink:
Only kidding... looks feckin' ace!
So very close now you can almost smell the diesel.
-
Really smart mate, lovely colour, bias of course :evil:

Looks like the Accelerator pedal is no longer floor mounted?
I don't like the pedal setup in the MK5/6 because the Accelerator pedal is shallower than the brake pedal.

That's correct. Not floor mounted

I'm used to the floor mounted accelerator pedal, but when I was out on my extended test drive in the GTD demo, the accelerator pedal travel felt natural. When I got back into my Scirocco, for the journey home, the floor mounted accelerator felt ridiculously stiff (until the next journey), much like trying to press the brake pedal down on a car where the servo assistance has failed.
-
Norbreck - awesome stuff! Did you check for the fabled reverse camera yet?
I'm so jealous! Roll on the next 4 months... :sad:

My previous cars have had pedals at equal height with respect to each other. It doesn't feel as natural for foot movement with the floor mounted variety.
I'm glad they have changed it.

Yes dippy, rear view camera is all there, but I couldn't activate it as the car was still in transport mode, but I could see it under the badge.
Also picked up from the parts department the OEM chrome / black sill trims, rubber mats for winter and rubber load liner for the boot.
-
Very, very nice. When did you order?
-
Early April
-
Looks amazing! I don't know if I could walk away from the dealership knowing it was in the yard mind...
-
Wow that cars clean for just coming off the boat :smiley: Looks the nuts...
-
Very nice - good job ;-)
-
You have park assist, I will be interested to find out how easy it is to use.
-
Me too ! It was such a cheap option (and I'm crap at parking) I thought why not ?

That's exactly what I thought, will definitely be having some 'now watch this' adventures with it.

As my new GTD has now been PDI'd I thought i would pop back along to give it a good check over. I really wanted to see if the rear view camera was actually there, which is was :smiley: :smiley:

Apologies to all those that couldn't order it due to VW's ineptitude.
-
Bet you cant wait mate! I have been PDI'ing these at work for the last few weeks, had 2 GTi's and 1 GTD in so far. Very nice cars!
MK6 still has the edge on it for me at the moment though..
-
Just been looking at your earlier pictures and i notice that the factory have stuck a piece of clear protective plastic where the ignition would be, even VW don't trust their dealers!! :-X :D
And who's the purdy lady on the right in one of them? :drool:

So it's PDI'd and you still didn't pick it up? That is the car equivalent of self flagilation

Hmm, back room you say?? :smug:
-
Looks very nice.
It does suit white to show off the details :cool:
-
YES.....
true to their word, dealer just called to say DVLA had acknowledged request to transfer my private reg from my current Scirocco onto the new Golf, and gave the dealer the green light. So collection is definitely this Saturday - the days can't go fast enough :grin:
Considering the car only arrived in the UK last Tuesday afternoon, and the V55 was acknowledged on Friday last week which is when they were the allowed to apply for the V5 and plate transfer, so that's just 2 working days. Kudos to DVLA.
-
Just be careful when you are after your remaining tax cashed in on your p/x. My dad is still waiting on his from July, and my sister from May. DVLA claim they sent it but will send another cheque. My sister has supposedly had 3 cheques sent but none of them have reached her! I’m due £83 back off mine. Either DVLA are slow in returning your cash to you or RM employees are intercepting the cheques.
Picking mine up 4pm today - confirmed (although I had to ring salesman at 12:20 to find this out)!
-
Got that covered MH - dealer is buying it off me cash.
