Cabriolet Collected (Pics)
« on: 21 May 2012, 17:04 »
After much deliberation the mrs has ordered a GT Cab. And collects it on the 2nd of June.

I've already been in touch with the lads at midland vw about a custom code remap as they have just received the latest software for the TDI.

I was gonna order the exhaust trim as the stealer said he couldn't budge on deal any more but I ain't paying £120!!!!

Can anyone suggest any other,I know that this thread has been played to death but some pics would be helpful and also any horror stories to help me make a wise purchase.

The spec is:-

Tungsten grey metallic
Vienna leather - black
Xenons inc drls
Life shine (load of nuts but it was free)
Three years servicing (free with vw finance)
Luxury mats upgrade

Cruise (std)
MMi (std)
Front & rear parking sensors (std)

Open to suggestions on little mods, the mrs won't want anything to mental.

To top it off the stealer said he would paint my rear diffuser too!

I guess I should update my signature too.

Have just been staring at one of these whilst waiting to pick up the wife and thought they look really good

I'm sure the yeti sorts tips are better vfm from shout friendly soda dealer

I think some GTI side trims would suit one  :smiley:

Nice one, thanks for that I'll pop over and get some this week. Don't suppose you've got some pics of them on the Roc? Are they rolled ends or flat finished?

The missus must be worth it!!! Good luck with the purchase but speccing that brand new comes out at £33k and I'm really, really struggling with it at that price. There's a whole host of far more exotic machinery available for that sort of money.

But hey, it's a free country - you pays your money and you makes your choice!!!

I had a cab courtesy car, it was good fun for a few days, I did the obligatory drive home with the roof down, unfortunately it was cold and raining, the heaters helped a little as did my hat. Good fun! Was 25 mile drive at 60mph... brrrr :smiley:
