Another one on the road

[Radek]

Well, the spec book (prices and option list) says on page 6 "Carpet mats, front and rear with red edging" for GTI and silver edging for GTD.

And there's a picture of it on page 15 of the GTI brochure (where aluminium pedal is shown).

I know the spec can always change at any time but...

Come on guys, don't let VW get away with it! 
My dealer promised to look into it and replace the black ones if possible.

For me Carbon Grey is becoming the Oak Green of Mk6.

ACC - no noticable difference between normal and comfort, sport setting makes the steering wheel stiffer.

Interesting to read that. Like to know how you get on over time.

Congradulations on your new car.
Im still waiting for mine which have similar specs to yours-Its been 13 weeks since I place my order
As for ACC, you need to give a bit more time to 'adapt'
On my other car which got a similar system, it took more than 2000 miles for the computer to work out the correct parameters for my local road! since I use sport for trackdays only!

Very nice car, Radek. Now I know what mine would have looked like if I'd stuck with the Monza wheels. As for the red piping on the mats, however appealing it might sound in theory, I reckon it would look tacky. Could be mistaken, though, I'd like to see a set...

Fantastic choice of colour, congrats

How?

Thanks guys!
Another thing - I was offered (again) a fixed price maintance pack for service, tyres, parts, etc at about £40 p/m. At first it looks quite a lot (£1500 for 3 years) but as it covers tyres it starts to look differently. I asked if they would replace the tyres if I need new ones every 6000 miles due to wear and they said - yep, they designed for grip not for longevity so it's no prob. So if I need 8 new tyres over 3 years/40000 miles (3 sets for he front, 1 set for the rear), £120 a tyre, the deal doesn't look that bad.
The replacement tyres are Continental - don't know the details.

Has anyone taken maintanace offer? How often do you think you'll have to change tyres? I don't think they'll last till 10000 miles:)
I got Bridgestone Potenza.

Hmmm, even if you drive enthusiastically you should get 10K from the fronts at least (unless you're a wheelspinning loon)!

If you swithc the fronts to rears at about 6000 you should get at least 15K out of the pair minimum.

Probably because he's in Holland. Every country's different: I'm in France and I got black like you.
