Collecting 3dr black pearl, manual, centre armrest, rcd 500 (ipod adapter), 17". On Saturday 1/4/06.
Didn't go for the after market paint/protection as I can't see a reason. (My old mk4 is 4yr old and looks like brand new, and has never been treated with anything other than TLC!)

I plan to run-in using a premium fuel (Optimax, Supreme etc)  I will ask my dealer in the morning for recommendations.

The recent EVO mag test featuring the Gti and M5 was very revealing. Will post details if anybody missed it.   Essential reading for MarkV owners.

Incidentally, the deal I got on this car was fanatastic (but I would say that, wouldn't I!)

Where can I read the Evo review, sounds interesting. Have been running BP standard mainly due to 7p per litre price difference.

think you need to get a copy of either the Feb or March issue of EVO mate.  unless someone has a scanner and will kindly scan it and email it to you.  Alas i don't have a scanner  :sad:
