Finally here - predelivery pix incl. Interlagos wheel swap

[FroGTI]

Car wasn't due for another couple of weeks, but I got a call this morning to tell me it had just arrived I whizzed straight down to the dealer and caught them swapping over the standard 17" wheels for the set of 18" Interlagos I had left with them a couple of weeks back.

I didn't get much chance to tweak the car. It was on jacks, so I didn't even dare sit inside, but all the bits & pieces seem to be in the right place. Now I just have to wait until next Thursday for actual delivery

A lot better than the 17's but I will have to see some more pics to decide whether I like them over the 18's

Yeah, sorry for the crappy quality of the photos, but the car was in the gloomy workshop being prepared. Plus, I didn't want to look a total nerd and start taking dozens of close-ups in front of the mechanics. I'll post some better ones once I get the car home next week.

New wheels suit it well

Thanks for your comments. The colour is Carbon Grey.

When you pick it up check under the front wheel arches there is a round plastic inspection cover for the fog lights on both sides,one of mine was missing the dealer just gave me a new one, we checked the cars in the showroom with front fog lights and all of them had at least one cover missing.Not a major problem but with all this rain in a few months could cause electrical problems if the water gets into the electrics.worth checking

[FroGTI]

Thanks for the tip! I will check & let you know if the continental GTIs have the same build issues

Nice colour!! thats very similar to the one that convinced me to get a GTI

Wasnt keen on the wheels on the rocco... but i think the golf definately puls it off
