Stunning car John. Glad to hear you are enjoying it.

I may seem a bit of a loser and perhaps (and most probably am wrong and imagining it) but is she not a bit high? As in wheel gap? Dont want to break the happy mood but would you mind looking under the wheel arches and making sure that they took your spacers out? (Spcers are small rubber strips that are wedged between the suspension for transport). I was looking at pics of Illyuns Ed30 and his seems lower.

Once again. Nice to see you got your car  :smiley:

It looks a bit like a R32 I saw once. The owner still argued with me until I showed him the spacers were still in. There was a thread about it somewhere.

Nice, I like the colour but am too lazy to live with it!

Looks like I should finally pick up my 3Dr Silver DSG next week, I didn't think I was ever going to get it.
I ordered through a broker, and it got delayed so many times in the end I got an Audi TT off of him instead!

Its not arrived at the dealer and I've manage to get a reasonable deal to swap, having had the TT only 4 months,
its a nice car but a little disappointing as I didn't get to spec it and am looking forward to the DSG.  Lets just
hope I've made the right decision!

I may seem a bit of a loser ........

not at all , Im a stickler for detail things too.
I will check at the weekend. Although it isnt too high and I would hope to notice a complete lack of susp travel  :shocked:
but you never know ...........

tbh I thought the ride height was better than I expected. Plus the 18's seem to fill the arches better.
Its def a car that has a completely different look that pictures dont quite capture.

89 miles and counting ........ :-) t/c light flashed tonight on light throttle , so I may check the tyre pressures too !!!

thanks again for all the positive feedback.
