Thanks for all the positive comments
The Carbon Grey is a break from my usual Black or White and looks really classy. If we in the UK could have had the choice of Metallic Red then this would have been a tough choice.
I am so pleased with it because I am a real fan of this engine with the K04, it might be a bit laggy compared to the std car but it just has more character. I like when the turbo is spooling up and feel the the wave or torque and the noise it makes. I live out of town so most of my trips are B roads and the turn in with the 19" and Pirelli Zero's is much better than on my previous GTI with 18" Monza Shadows and Dunlop Sportmax, the front end just feels more planted. These little differences make the car feel more focused and the result is more fun. Again the Xenons at night on these B roads are very good and I now know why people rave about them.
It has drawn some admiring glances even had a guy in a Rocco R slow right down and have a really good look at it as they drove past in a car park.
I am really enjoying the new car feels like a small upgrade on the std car so would recommend this.
To go back to wheel debate I like the Watkins Glen and would not have minded if these were the only option and I love the Monza Shadows which I had on my last one but I wanted something different this time and these Glendale's do go really well with the ED35 look as it helps pick out the black trim better so hence the popularity.
