Hello all.
On Tuesday night I bough a Tornado Red, 5 door GTI mk7.5. Only other option to the 5 doors are the Brescia wheels, I preferred them to the standards.
It's due with me before the end of the month, I'm coming from a Punto Sporting so it's a great step up. I also considered a m140i, a GT86 and an E220d (there was a great deal!).
Looking forward to chatting with you all.

Welcome Connor
Seems like a very quick order to delivery so presumably the car is already at the dealers or it was a order already ordered and you just amended it..?
Yeah not a fan of the standard 7.5 GTD/I wheels so good call on the Brescia's. I toyed with getting these as aftermarkets (but obviously genuine ones) but decided to go the BBS route myself.
The GTI in red is a great colour choice too. I don't see many round my neck of the woods so be good to see some pics when it arrives.
Ah yes the Punto Sporting Grande which I had in red myself for all of 7days until I rejected it...the less said about the better. :whistle:
Your definitely moving up in the world...Enjoy!!!

Hi buddy,
It was a stock car that was already in shipping to the Lookers group, I wanted one quick as it means avoiding the tax hike!
I'd driven a pre-facelift DSG at the start of the year and liked it, but wasn't really ready to move at that point.
I love the Brescias, I wouldn't have hated the standard wheels but I felt I wanted something a little shinier!
I had (have still) the ego, 1.4 multi air turbo. It's been a good car but fancied a treat, I'm still reasonably young so no commitments so why not!
Thanks for your reply, I'll add pictures when I can! Presumably once I'm done driving the thing. Breaking in is going to be tedious!

Tomorrow! :nerd:

Thats lovely Connor, you must be thrilled :laugh:
Quick question - do the navigation maps appear in the Active Info display (between the speedo and rev counter) in your car? I've been wondering if that's a Pro-Nav feature only...

Ahh so it's you on Reddit :wink: this looks amazing!

Hi Mate, I am!
So yes - they do, there's actually a mini map and an option to widen that out where the dials go smaller and push further away, useful actually!

Busted.

Ahhh, thats great! Nice feature. Makes the upgrade to pro-Nav even more pointless.

Connor1409 - Can I ask do you have front fog lights in the new style fins? I see the March 23rd price list says they should be standard.

A red GTI :drool: Looks fantastic. I'm so jealous.
Enjoy :cool:

Nice car. :smiley: I really fancy the active info display but I got mine pre-facelift.

Hi Connor, hope you're still loving your car!?
If you get chance, would you mind taking a close up picture of the front fogs and one of the light selection dial in the car. There's quite a debate going on in one of the other threads on whether the GTI comes with front fogs and given you have yours and it does, I think it would help...(if nothing else I have something to complain to my dealer with if mine doesn't!)
Cheers
Andy
