Good px on the 35?

Mush better than expected but i was told that there is still a premium sweet spot on Mk6 ED35's so i got a very good trade in value and even better regardless of when R appears no further depreciation loss to me in anyway. Trade in price guarenteed

19" Cadiz aren't an option over here.  Annoyingly the continent also gets the option of black Pret's and black mirrors.

EVO magazine have recently named the R the best hot hatch, with the Megane second.  I'm starting t get really fidgety about mine arriving!

I agree that the Cadiz weren't to my taste either.

The black mirrors are a no cost option here now too. ;)

Yes very subtle, I think the GTI got the best front end and the R the best rear.

I wouldn't have wanted the front end to be 'Shouty' but it could have been a tad more different!

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I saw the front in the flesh.  Subtle, yes, but more aggressive than pictures suggest and though the rear is more overtly aggressive, front and rear don't look at odds with each other.   Overall, understated stealthy styling hints at the power within.

congratulations its a superb motor and way it does it business up to 70 is rather nice and i think the fate of the wife's pirelli is sealed and not cursed with that much understeer, still yet to get the traction control light on and i've been trying, by the time the torque of a mapped 7 GTI kicks in you will be long gone :)

defiantely some love for the 35 at the moment in terms of trade in
