THANKS for all the comments. I really love the red and black theme of my CS. Oh and the plate kinda suits it I think ! Had that since 2007 on retention waiting for a suitable car.
I think a red 3 door just looks fantastic tbh but they all look good. The steering wheel btw is a joy to hold for anyone who hasn't got theirs yet. Its amazing how a few little touches like that and the seats make it feel much more special.
the front windows aren't tinted btw its just the light.
Storing because a) wasn't really planning to buy another car until the M2 - which was later this year. However the chance to get the perfect CS spec was too good to resist. I am seriously considering not going for the M2 - worked out that with what I would get trading my 330d in 6 months time, I would nearly need to stump up the cost of the GTi to trade in !!
Given the 330d is pretty much the best car in the real world to drive every day IMO, that + the GTi is the perfect combo so I am hoping the Gti will scratch my fun itch in a big way, plus keeping the mileage very low will preserve its value I am sure.
My old Fiat Coupe needs to be MOT'd in the summer so I am planning to run that for a couple of months, MOT it then take it off the road and put the GTi on as I have a multicar insurance policy so it makes sense to only run 1 other car + the 330d. If it wasn't for that I would be driving it straight away don't worry !
Anyway thanks again for the nice comments and P3sa for posting the links.
Crewe VW have a white 3 door CS on the forecourt I think btw and also one identical to mine but DSG in the showroom I think its the Directors car.
