Thank you for all your kind words, I think I am going to like it here.

I have gone for Black and as for spec, it is a pretty basic 200bhp FSI with a DSG auto box. I haven't gone for any of the bolt-on extras as I think there is enough for me at the moment!
Look forward to chatting with you all soon.
Will check out the delivery section of the forum and don't worry Rosie, I hadn't assumed that all GTI owners were guys. I wouldn't be so presumptious!
