Finally have her!
« on: 01 April 2009, 19:43 »
Well guys, you'll be pleased to know that I may stop bugging you as much with my pre-GTI questions. She's finally here!!
Went to pick her up this morning. the seller cleared the outstanding finance via bank transfer in front of me in his office. He then rang them to confirm, and they faxed across a letter stating they no longer have any interest in the car. I then got a full invoice etc from him, and passed the cheque across.......with a  :cry:

That turned into a  :laugh: during the drive home though!!

Ive been in a Fiesta Zetec S so the GTI will take some getting used to - not just the power, but the bigger size. Tried the kickdown and almost snapped my neck - wasnt expecting it to be so fast!

Its tucked away in my garage at the moment, until the seller gives me the second ordered key, and I get them reprogrammed (seller is covering the bill).

Anyways, heres what I got....

Grey, 5 Door, GTI ED30 DSG
Rear Tints
MFSW
Highline
Centre arm rest
Parrot Bluetooth professionally installed



Thats the only pic I have so far - quickly took it before tucking her away. Will get more pics up over the weekend if you want ;)

Dont know anything about it yet - dont even know how to turn the headlights on, or open the fuel cap (I guess that'll be opening quite often in future!! ;) )
Time to skim through the manuals......

Looks gorgeous! My 55 plate Gti I am waiting to pick up is the exact same colour...

I think knowing very little about the car is great, you have a lot of fun learning ahead of you :D

Nice!! :smug:
when I first picked my new motor up I was more nervous than excited as its the most expensive item I've ever owned! (plus the parents still don't know how much I payed for it :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:)

Yup, I cant tell my parents how much either - even though Im 28!! lol
Im gonna say it was £14k ;)

Im still very nervous with it, since I dont know how to use most of the stuff in it properly yet - the wife said I look nervous or uncomfortable while driving it!!
For me its a matter of getting used to driving a bigger car.....

That low metal rail thing behind the car...........cant even see it from inside while reversing! Think I'll need some rear parking sensors - may help when I back her into the garage as well ;) How much are they fully fitted (colour coded ones)?

Looks great. I reckon Grey is the best colour (even though I've got black!).

Would be interested to see the Parrot install - probably gonna get one myself. Where do you have it installed?

At long last Ifti & looks a good 'un, well done mate.
Had the wifes ED30 6 weeks now & nabbed the keys for a blast over the weekend & its one hell of a car, you'll lov it.

Top colour as well. I am very pleased I ended up with S/Grey

Here's a pick of the dealer fit sensors done a couple of weeks ago.



Enjoy it mate :smiley:
