Very nice Kenis. Very similar spec to what I have ordered (black wheels, no park assist or HUD) so great to see how amazing it looks. I was debating between Dolphin and Kings, looks like I made the right choice.

Definitely. Pictures don’t do justice to how the red accents pop against the grey. Front whiskers a little lost - but so are the side stickers. Been debating removing them and black vinyl wrapping the back half of the roof but don’t think will now.

One minor discovery today - seems I was given mats for a LHD car in error  :grin:

I used to have and Indium Grey 7.5PP and the red on grey was gorgeous. I've been toying with the idea of having the vinyl replaced with some colour matched red vinyl, as well as the adding clubsport logo on the rear doors. Might be a bit much but I plan on mocking it up at some point. If not, might just add a black clubsport logo under some PPF. For now though I'll have to settle for being jealous of yours.

quick update as picked the car up this morning, all had time to do was drive it back home and tuck it away but two geeky/minor interior things that surprised me and must have missed elsewhere in the forum thread as part of MY23 changes

1) It has GTI lettering on the seats like the 45 (but its not a 45)
2) the door card material is alcantara (or equiv) but I thought various videos/reviews said it didnt have that.

the expected MY23 thing was piano black all round centre console.

Couple of photos (even though dirty and still has some of the transport stuff on it - detailers is not for 10 days)






Very nice indeed!👌 That was my second choice of colour after KR, probably would have gone for it had my last three GTI’s not all been carbon grey, the GTI seat logos are now standard across the GTI range, but you still only get the lovely art velours on the clubby, I did hear that the door inserts were all now alcantara too, but not 100% sure on that one.

Mine has come with Bridgestone Potenzas S005 - pretty sure that’s what my mk6 came with 14 years ago!

I think the general consensus is not as good as Michelin or Goodyear. I also found this https://youtu.be/sKFdBXwWc9w

Thanks for that. Interesting. I'm not planning on taking her on the track so not a big issue.
