Thank you all, But is it a record
« on: 22 July 2011, 22:22 »
I am due to collect my GTD tomorrow, 10 months from order all but 7 days, is this a record?

Hopefully it will go well as I had a few minor problems with the dealer during the week in regard to storage kit and mudflaps.  But thanks to forum members and their knowledge I was well able to correct the dealer.

Anyway I will update with pics in due course.  My thanks to you all!

Mad is most likely right.  However I think it was worth the wait.  DSG is a dream to drive along with ACC and the LED number plate lights just finishes the rear quitely nicely IMO.  Pics of what I waited on:

Lovely  :drool: Well wear!

Can you try getting a pic of the number plate leds? It's a mod I want to do, assuming it doesn't cause hassle with dash bulb warning errors.

Noel

Well worth waiting for - 10 months is criminal but that's history now so enjoy your new car.

Looks very nice and great spec!

Hi Noel. That looks really nice! :smiley: Looks good in red with the 18" Charlestons.

Picked my GTD up earlier this month after an 8 month wait; think you'll find it's worth the wait. I see you've got the Bi-xenons. This is the first car I've had with xenons and I think they're great!

Same here. The light output from them is incredible. Plus they do make the front end of the car look that bit more special.
