Thanks for the comments guys. Its now less than 24 hours untill I pick her up.

Yes its rising blue, I was having doubts about the colour combo, but after seeing her in the flesh yesterday I really happy. Started her up also yesterday and for a car with standard exhaust, it does sound good, nice burble to it. Very impressed, the hard part will be runing her in. What colour are you getting?

The same! You are absolutely right - the colour choice on the R was such a headache. Rising blue looks so different on each picture I've seen but it I felt it was the right one. Mine will come with 18" wheels. I guess yours are 19"?

On the GTI it took me less than 2 weeks to put 1000 miles :laugh: I was so eager to get the run-in out of the way. Will it be different this time? Not sure to be honest... :evil:

Absolutely gorgeous car, and the colour is epic. Would really have loved to be able to stretch to the R when I was on the lookout for my new hack.

Yes mine are 19inch, the rides not to bad but driving rouind Wales this week you do notice them. Have now done just over 700miles(week off work) in a week, run out of money to spend on V power, so just going to do my normal run to and from work.
