So has anyone collected their new 08 plate GTI yet?

Can anyone give me a quick run down on what I need to do re: registering my new gti import. I got it from Motorhouse in Cannock and have a UK handbook but it has no stamps in it. Also how do I know what service schedule it's on? Apologies for the stupid questions! Cheers Ziggy

Here she is outside the stealers... 9 miles on the clock!

Lovely car Grahamm looks just like mine,also you will notice the gti gets quicker the more miles go on it.

i noticed my new one, has only 1000 miles on it and is very sluggish compared to my old blue one which had 20 k on it. it will take 4 to 5k before engine and DSG gearbox bed in.

Thanks for the comments guys!

They had this one on order already, so I didn't have much choice as to the specs. But she came with pretty much everything I wanted. At least I only had a 4 week wait!

Agree Phil my gti had 8 miles on the clock when i bought it and i did'nt find it that quick but after 6k started to loosen up,now with 11.5k and a ecu upgrade done at dealers under warranty the car feels alot smoother and quicker.
