...was thinking the same

I am glad you guys said that and not me, prepare to get abuse from the GTI drivers! (I do agree with you though).

They were supposed to lower the front by 25mm and the rear by 20mm but it looks like it has dropped around 35mm at the front and 30mm at the rear.

I don't have any other pics yet but I was going to give it a proper clean at the weekend and get decent photos taken. I will try to get a side on view taken later today on the phone though.

I was going to say how impressed I am with the car too. It is all the little things that make this car so bloody brilliant.

My mate got an Edition M3 and we were looking at the cars last night. I think the Golf got more attention!

I had an X5 with a rear view camera that was exposed and only stayed clean on dry days. VW have hidden the camera in the golf and it is always perfect. It is little things like this that make the difference.

The way the adaptive xenons work is great. I thought both lamps turn at the same time but they don't. They both work independently of each other and this is class for country roads.

The touch screen head unit and the way the iPod works is the best ever. I can search by artist and jump to any name I want instead of having to scroll through every artist. Although this is small, it makes such a massive difference. I get to listen to ZZ Top in seconds!

I have been lucky enough to own some nice cars in my time but this could be the nicest...

...Well, let's be honest,  the soundtrack could be better, but that's it by the sounds of it!  :laugh:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Thanks! Is your GTI standard height? I considered red but I have never had a white golf and thought I would take the plunge.

Yeah, I went for Dynaudio and it is top notch. Well worth the money! The note off the diesel actually sounds quite good. OK, it isn't a petrol but the sound of the diesel engine is nothing like the MK4 I owned.

Not everyone will like the wheels but I am happy so I guess that is what matters.

As for the M3, it is absolutely awesome!

My black GTi is deadly to keep clean in this weather and if it persists it wont be washed for another week  :cry:
