Finally got her 8.5
« on: 17 January 2025, 06:46 »
Finally picked up my new baby yesterday and am so pleased
With her, never owned a GTI before had a polo when I was much younger so everything will be a learning curve. Kept her pretty much standard to save going over the 40k Tax bracket and have a few things want to do to her (new black alloys, black mirrors spoiler ext, possibly black roof section) but any help would be appreciated.
Currently looking for seat covers(rear so child seats don't mark) and a decent boot liner. Spent a fair bit of time setting her up last night some of the things Google helped with so I'm sure I'll need some advice.

Looks good  :cool:. Interesting that your car’s is female; all the cars I’ve ever owned have been gender neutral :grin:.

Enjoy your new car.

Welcome! Not to hijack the thread and turn it into a car gender one, but my clubsport is a male and his personality is an anti social twit.

Ever since a school mate had a white Mk 1, have always felt that white accentuates the best bits of a GTI. Nice looking motor.

Nice car enjoy. For boot liners either Hatchbag (expensive but very good uality) or Rhinohield. Also good, they also do good seat covers too.

Lovely car, I love a GTi in white, especially when this clean!
For boot liners, I went for a DriveDen one, they do one that fits the boot floor in upper and one in lower postition.

Here's the upper one which I have, it's good quality and fits very well:
