That looks fantastic Rebecca. Well worth the wait. Any pictures of the interior?

What a long day!

But I have picked up the new GTI  :laugh:

I will be posting up a more in depth review in the next couple of days and starting a build thread for all the little tweaks and mods I have planned for it; but for now lots of pictures below!

Great Booth and I do like that purposeful stance from the rear.

Nice GTI MXR, thats the first one I've seen with the factory tint and it looks great, as far as I can see it's not too dark and all the heating wires are invisible too :D

Wow Rebecca, I didn't realise your car had finally landed - I'd stopped following all the "Build progress" threads a while ago  :laugh:

It looks stunning, you must be delighted/relieved! Congrats!

Thanks Joe.  :smiley:  Yeah I guess once you get the car, the build thread becomes a distant memory.  :laugh:

It's been a hell of a wait, but just driving it for the few miles I've managed today, tells me it's been well worth it.  I even like the soundaktor at the moment, but probably not for too long, lol.

Stunning. S-weeeeeet... :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Have (lotsa) fun... :whistle:

Cheers Gatsby.  :smiley:  It was worth the epic wait.

Hopefully you'll be smiling from ear to ear too, soon enough.  :cool:

I initially thought the fake noise was too much but maybe I've got used to it, it doesn't bother me now! I thought it was making interior trim vibrate too but I don't notice that now either. Maybe it just settled in a bit or something. I often stick it in Race mode now but I do find Sport (S) in the DSG too severe.... So I'd usually use the paddles myself and change up manually.
