MY CAR WITH LOTS OF PICS!
« on: 12 November 2008, 23:05 »
Hi All!

After what seems like a long time I have finally got round to putting some much anticipated photos up of my car! Thanks to everyone for putting up with my hundreds of questions before I got it, not least WhiteGTI along with some help he gave me along the way with the mirror indicator lenses, badge and grill!

Having now done 1000miles I can safely say it is incredible! I’m sure this doesn’t come as a surprise but just how good it is was a surprise to me. I love the amount of power available and it really lets you enjoy driving with it being so effortless. Xenons are amazing and really set the front of the car off! Sometimes I find that there isn’t as much power available as I usually think there is (yes the engine is always warm etc) but then sometimes there’s loads, weird! Other than that I can’t really fault it! I had a slight mare the other day and made a small scratch in the front near side alloy parking it, but it is barely noticeable! On delivery it had a small chip in the passenger door crease, didn’t notice it on inspection. They took it back a week later and sorted it without ruining the rest of the car as some have found! Phewww!

As you can see iv got the square plate on, looks really good, more so in real life as iv had to remove my registration but those of you going to the November meet will see it in all its glory! Unfortunately on photo day I hadn’t got round to permanently attaching the OSIR carbon mask so in some pics it is on, some it is off, but that is a permanent feature!
My only thing to do to finish it off is to get an full turbo back APR exhaust and carbonio after Christmas sometime. Having done that I will be pretty much finished (maybe a remap come insurance time  )).

Anyway take a look n let me know what you think! Me and Chris (WhiteGTI) took them this morning so thats his white golf in the melee too!

Sorry iv not been around so much, but changed jobs but I often look in even if I don’t comment! I look forward to seeing some of you at the end of November!

Cheers, Paul.
PS (I hope this photo stuff works, sorry if theres loads but I can’t help myself!)

Sweet looking car Paul :cool:

I'd have to see the front reg plate in the flesh to make my final judjement on it as I'd thought about something similar myself if I went with the OSIR front mask. :smiley:

Thanks!

As cliche as it is, it really DOES look better in the flesh! I rate it massively and it looks so much more aggressive imo! Glad to finally get some pics up, its been tooooo long!

Dont let T_T see this picture  :lipsrsealed:

Nice car and obviously the fastest colour...I have also noticed the power thing, mentioned it to my mate tonight. Sometimes feels like it lacks power then it will catch you out and blast off...hmm wierd.

Plate looks abit out of place there..shame we have to have a plate at all as it looks sweet as a nut without one.

Where did you get the black VW badge...soooo many things I want to do to mine but not sure how long I am going to get banned for :(

awesome looking car and I really like the seats, did you get a good price on it? The dealer tried to flog me one at 23k  :huh:

Another thing I've just noticed is the heater control bezels, yours have a stainless/ali surround on them? is this Pirrelli specific or one of your own mods?

Lovely looking car though. :wink:
