Dont know if anyone knows but the dashboard lights are on all the time with just the front side lights except if you drive into dark tunnel or simalar then they gradually fade out to off so you just have red needles glowing mk5 gti style just to remind you you have not got full lights on. (if you dont use auto lights) A nice little touch i think

They have got that from Audi as our A3 does this. Quite a classy touch!!

Stunning Car Carl.  Nice pics!  So glad I've ordered "White", as I wasn't too sure at first.  It was a toss up between White, Red and Carbon Grey.  Had a call from the dealer yesterday to say that the car was built and awaiting transit.  Fingers crossed it will be with me in three weeks (order was placed back end of March).

Have you had any passing comments on the car as such?  You must certainly be one of the first owners on the road.

yes i certainly have, it feels like anyone with the slightest interest in cars is looking at it as  i drive around, ive seen people walking down the street stop mid conversation and point at the car and turn and watch the car go by, also a few people shout comments, all in good humour. I have always said a gti/r32 gets more attention than a porsche it really does seem to be the peoples car

P.s i do think white is not going to be so rare this time, you are going to see lots of them. Lets hope its just us few on here ordering white  :wink:
