So, on Saturday I went to a well known car supermarket to inspect my new GTI. As I approached the vehicle everything seemed to be fine, but the bright autumnal glare was disguising the horrors that awaited.
As I got closer to the car, I could see shimmering from inside an intense golden glow. Yes, the muppets had ordered me one with a :sick: Wall's ice cream yellow :sick: interior.
Of course I rejected the car immediatly. The manager tried to spin me a yarn along the lines of "you know that's the standard interior for black Golf GTIs" ::)
Rather than argue, as really he was trying to engage me so he could do some convincing, I just :lipsrsealed: and asked for my deposit back, which I got (eventually).
I then drove to one of the VW dealers I'd used before and asked what he had. First up he offered me an R32 with black leather for £22k. :drool: I managed to resist the temptation and got him back on track looking for GTIs.
It just so happened that they had a red 3dr parked out front with black leather, MFSW, C control, front loading 6 disc CD player RCD500 + VW sound pack (pants, I know), centre arm rest, immaculate 18" monzas, hi-line comp, 9k miles (no xenons though :sad:) and factory fit phone preparation. :tongue:
Anyway, to cut an increasingly long post short, I've bought it and pick it up on Friday.
:grin: :grin: :grin:

nice one, probably worked out better for you!

Yeah mate - I think it has worked out better. Although it's not brand new, I'm more comfortable with a genuine UK car rather than an import, which is what I was getting from the car supermarket.
No offence to anyone who's specced it, but that yellow leather interior is :sick: :o
The plastics, like the reading light surround in the roof, and the doors etc are all yellow (in the words of Coldplay) and it's just not cricket.

hmm, does sound a bit too much yellow involved!
i think the GTI's look better in Red anyway tbh :cool:
-
I think the red is pretty sweet. :smiley:
Got my insurance sorted with Admiral - £820. Not bad seeing as I'm 28, I've no no claims and an SP50 :-[
-
its hard to beat the look of a tornado red 3 door with the 18inch monza's imo
not too bad considering you have no no claims bonus.

Hands up for the SP50 club!!
-
what is that the offense code for? speeding?
