Hi all
Well, took delivery of my gti yesterday. Living in Aus (was UK) and managed to get a fairly good deal i reckon! Managed to get the DSG half price, upgrade to five door free and all onroads included (can be 3k ish in Aus!!) I haggled the Monza shadows off the demo they had at the dealers as well as the only CW they had available was on 17's and they just do not look right IMO.
Went to pick up the car - no Monzas on it!!! They had sold the demo and the guy insisted it was no deal without them. Anyhow the dealer is a good bloke so i didn't kick off too much of a fuss. He said "just use the wheels that are on it and when you come back at 1500km for a free check over we'll fit you the Monzas" (on order) if you could take it easy on the tyres in the meantime we'd appreciate it!!" Haha yep fine with me....
so, enjoying the car very much and i'm definitely testing those levels of grips round the corners a little more than if they were my own tyres
I have owned some pretty decent cars in the past (TT, M3, Cooper s) and i have to say this car really doesn't feel too shabby at all compared to them. Handling is fantastic!! And power is pretty good too in the real world.
Really nice place to be sat in with the cloth seats and the THAT steerring wheel! Gave it2 coats od jetseal 109 and 2 coats of CG 5050 and it is looking sparkling. Gives off some serious glare under the aussie sun i tell ya!!
