12 weeks after order my Edition 30 arrived today
8 miles on the clock
Proper pics to follow once I 'officially' clean it at the weekend
Ben @ Gilbert Lawton in Manchester was top notch , thoroughly recommended.
First impressions are
1. I no longer worried about getting a black one , i love it .......
2. Its a big car!
3. The paintwork is actually pretty good , little swirling (I did NOT have the lifeshine done) , slightly orange peely imho under close scrutiny but thats just me being picky
4. The car feels soo special with all the little extras
5. It came with the bottle opener and 1 litre of oil (for free after I asked
)
6. The wheels look so much better in the flesh , and have grown on me , I always felt they looked a bit 'small'
7. It doesnt have shift! Yes Im running it in 'enthusiastically' , but even on light throttle it goes.....
It feels way faster than a std GTI on the test drive.
Cant feel lag , but then Im not letting it labour at low rpm.
8. I got a noisy one !!!! As posted on here , at idle its noisy lol. Seems the luck of the draw. more so with A/C on
9. the highline comp is a must
10. Michelin tyres so I think I may have been lucky there.
first mod will be a small front number plate from
www.fancyplates.com , I made sure the dealer only stuck the plates on (I HATE drilled holes!) , so I hope to replace that soon.
All in all its been worth the wait (dont they all say that ?) , and I'm looking forward to running it in.
Anyone on here get an oil change after 1k as a precaution ? I assume it just goes to the first service? (I chose Time&Dist but plan to specify long life oil)
