cause i know him he did it for 50 quid, but i think he would usually charge 100.  and cause the garage f7cked up my supaguard (twice!) it was worth the money cause now it looks how it should have done when i first bought it (bar some stone chippage on the bonnet!)

Yes please post a pics of your polished motor.... come on give us some GTI porn for my daily fix  :evil:

Mine is now 6 weeks away from its first birthday (mid July) and it's about dead on a year since I ordered it.
Not a moment's bother with it, without question the best car I've ever owned and love every minute of driving it.
It also inspired me to buy the Mark 2.
The only downside is that, since I tend to change cars every 4 years, I've only got 3 years left with this one!!!

got mine in september 09 and its just clocked the 19k mile marker. the thing is that the GTI grows on you more and more. whenever I'm in another car now I notice at least one or two things that the GTI does so much better.

quality (although every car has its problems)
nice and quiet
fast (since the map)
comfy
economical (btw guys recorded 71 mpg on the average trip counter. Pulled into motorway fuel station and reset the counter for the new tank. For the rest of my journey (45 mins) it stayed at 71.6 mpg - the missus had a look as she wouldn't believe me  :laugh:) (although I think something must have been wrong with the counter)
practical
gentle when you need it to be
loaded with kit

I really am getting into the car now  :smiley:

Much agreed. However then the Golf R would be (even more) pointless  :laugh:

Yeah, it's also rather vulgar, IMHO. GTI = gran turismo :smiley: R = Racing :rolleyes:
