Title: She's here... (With pics)
Post by: Vtec Abuser on 21 April 2008, 17:02
After 8 weeks of waiting, my new Candy White toy has finally landed on my drive..  :smiley:

Oh and traffic jams aren't going to be as bad anymore..  :smiley:  Awesome piece of kit IMO
(http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w6/CUPRA270/21042008451.jpg)

Chuffed aint the word to be honest. Such a step up from the LCR in evry way. Especially the interior which is like a friggin Tardis, can't get over how much space there is  :shocked:, anyone else found this when compared with other hatchbacks?
Modding starts pretty much straight away, wheels and Milltek go on at weekend and once a few k have been applied (which will be a week or two, as i'm a sales manager), the Revo will be added..  :drool:  So more pics to follow..
Only problem is, I am working away for the rest of the week (not in my car) so won't be able to drive it again till the weekend..  :cry:
One other thing though.. DSG =  :wink: Well impressed!

White cars with black wheels look fab in general IMO.. Do like the Pescara's, but just love the TD's and they're a lightweight racing wheel too..  :wink:

Where did you get your red GTI badge from mate..? Do like them, have to say.
Also need to get a club sticker for the window if there is one?

I bought a red GTI badge and applied it to the original. A bit hairy but well worth it in the end. That would look good on a white car me thinks  :wink:
Someone found this the other day.

Not sure mate.. It's a fleet car, but whether that makes any difference or not I don't know.. If yours is being built this week, you should have in the next 3 weeks.. I did! :smiley:

Post by: Vtec Abuser on 21 April 2008, 20:50
£600 mate. Seems to be the going rate for them.. Even though they're £421 EACH form VW..
That's without tyres though..

LOL, well bugger me, never knew that  :grin:

It took me a couple of weeks to realise it too! I was a bit disappointed with the armrest at first because it was more of an elbow rest than an arm rest.....until I realised that it slid forward :grin: :laugh:

Lovely looking car by the way Vtec Abuser.....just like mine - you must have good taste :smug:
Title: Re: She's here... (With pics)
