Congrats! Mine arrives at the end of the month - very excited to get back into a GTi! 
Although my girlfriend had a late MK5 GTi and I had a couple of VR6's back in the day - my last GTi was a small bumpered Mk2 16V (with Recaros no less) - back in 1992!
You're going to love it mines
2 weeks old today, my previous Gti was a Mk2 Lhasa Green Pirelli B reg in 84 so a decent wait! Worth it? jeez yes!
Jekyll and Hyde, drive to Liverpool office today (posted on here under long term mpg topic) 46mpg (equivalent to just over 48 in a diesel) driving like a nun. Much more fun driving home using occasional Hyperdrive 35mpg, well happy
