Looks stunning Jimmy :smiley:
I'm pondering changing from carbon to limestone grey now...

I sat in the R the dealership had on show, definitely a nice place to be. As I'm under 25 the insurance on a Golf R would be even more eye-watering than it already is for me, will definitely be pushing for a test drive at some point though!

There were so many Lapiz on order I decided against it.

Jake, I'm 30 and paying £300 fully comp.  because it has ACC as standard it was only £40 more than my diesel passat estate.

Some R forum members in early 20s and got pleasant surprise re insurance. Owing to numerous safety features on MK7, the insurance is lower than most expect.

Ah you guys are doing a lot better than me - 24 year old single male in south east London means even the GTI without PP is close to £800 fully comp., after EUI Group the next cheapest was c.£2000!

Done 500 miles in it in the 48 hours I've had it so far. Hands down the best car I've ever owned.  Been getting a lot of positive comments on it whenever it has been parked up.

Thanks a lot for the comments on here guys, I'm chuffed!

Oh, and ffrank at 300bhp and a sub 5 second 0-62 it is a super at :) haaha

Fantastic to hear Jimmy! Hope the rest of you BW12-ers are enjoying your cars as much as Jimmy is...

I've finally got my new order confirmed, to what I'm categorically promised is the correct specification! Based on timings from the first time round, I'm taking a guess at BW22 for this one - at least I've gone through the process (very) recently so I know what to expect when now!  :undecided:
