"Houston we have a problem"

[matchboy]

Yes.  And the poor chap who mentioned mud flaps over in the adjacent thread got pasted!

I wanted the mudflaps too!  And I disagreed with monkeyhanger on this thread.  And I don't agree with DSG on a GTI.  And I'm getting TR and not White.  Plus my Nav is the standard and I think the Pro isn't worth the extra.  And I'm getting the 19s which no one else likes.

I may be coming across as argumentative but I'm not I promise!!

We like them we just can't afford them.  Or the tyres.

Me neither, but I'll worry about new tyres in 6 months when I've burned through them!

How is this helping me make my decision? Tsk


Still not heard back from my dealer re: switching to a GTI.

Maybe he read my email and took a long walk off a short plank

Speak for yourself!   I think they are "OK", not digging the additional black spokes in them, but genuinely much prefer the look of the 18s.

Having the Panoramic Sunroof is a much better choice than the 19'' wheels.

Pure White, 5 door with sunroof is the ultimate looking mk 7 GTI

Except when the sunroof is open and you're on the outside of the car? heh heh... but I jest.

When I look at my new GTI (a lot) i will make sure the sunroof is shut

I haven't read through all 10 pages of this thread, but whilst skim reading I did pick up on "always wanted one" and "iconic" etc. It sounds like you really need a Mk2 to give you what GTI's are (or were) all about.

I also have skipped the 10 or so pages but just wanted to stir the pot slightly by suggesting that you all shouldn't rush into buying a GTi when the Edition 40 is just around the corner!

Just kidding!
