It revs up very readily with the DSG, doesn't it?  I'm getting much higher revs without really trying than I ever did with the Peugeot.

Never mind revving, where are those pictures?  :laugh:

Congrats Morag on picking the new car up. Rather than wait months for a new car I went and bought an ex-demo whilst you were away! We're probably the only ones on 17'' wheels on here (although I have a set of 18s in the garage off my mk5 waiting to go on sometime).  :smiley:

I'm getting 17" as well. Must admit the shadows do look nice, but the 17" are a little bit more comfortable. (and cheaper tyres compared to 18", mine is getting the Bridgestones. Yes, I've finally seen it, pick up next week.)

Rolfe, we need pictures. :drool:

So I had to leave my black GTI which has 18s, in with the dealer for 3 days. They gave me their black demo GTI on 17s. The demo car was definately softer over the bumps than my car, but they looked a lot smaller on the mk 6 than they did on my old mk 5 which had 17s as well....was glad to get my own car back...18s def improve the look on a black car imo

Don't know if this applies to the Mk6 but when the Mk5 was lauched I remember reading an article where they did a comparison of the GTI with 17's and 18's. The car on 17's posted quicker lap times.

Hehe :smiley:

Anyway, Rolfe, if you don't get those pix up quickly, some of us here may be prone to thinking you've got a Deep Black GTI like everyone else and are just pretending to have ordered a funky colour...
