Cheers mate, I'll let you try them out first then lol

MKT:
Nice car mate. I too am in the 5 door candy white club! So I'll be keeping a keen eye on your thread.

I have painted my rims gloss black & Colour coded the skirts & bumpers but left the mid section of the rear diffuser black along with the mid section of the front splitter. It actually sets it off really well.

jonesyiom:
Morning all.
Well after a long evening of travel my new car is now sat in the Novotel carpark in Milton Keynes. I've now got a 3hr drive to Birkenhead, so that will give me a chance to see how it stacks up.

Yep MKT,  my rims will be changing colour in the near future, more than likely to Black.
Once i get the majority of the engine mods completed then I'll move onto the exterior .
Right am off for a driv now...a 3hr one...Zzzzzz

jonesyiom:
Well the deal was struck and the car was paid for at 1130pm Friday night in a hotel car park...standard.
8am Saturday morning I left Milton Keynes behind and headed back on a 3ish hour drive back to Merseyside. This gave me a great opportunity to really see how she held together, what rattled, what knocked and where did that squeak come from.
Well I am pleased to say none of the above raised their squeaky rattly heads, happy days.
On to the car itself and what am happy with:
Paintwork: really clean, no hazing or Bird Poo stains......however I did notice yesterday that the lower (nearest the wheel)  section on the top of each front wheel arch has some minor bubbling.
Engine / DSG Gearbox: No smoke, feels really tight, kicks up and down nicely and I’ve not had any jumping into 1st gear whilst slowing for roundabouts yet.
Interior: Exceptionally clean. Bolsters are firm and there is no noticeable wear at all to the driver’s side. The lumbar support works fine as does the electric seat functions on the driver’s side. It’s been well looked after.
Brakes: All good up front as it’s just had new discs and pads. The rear may need adjusting slightly but maybe that’s just me not liking the handbrake going more that 3 clicks.
Suspension: Seems really compliant. Not overtly stiff, soaks up the bumps, not much roll. Will be interested to see what it’s like when the H&R go on.
What it’s missing:
Heated seats – I can live without this but it’s just a nice to have, plus it fills out the spaces on the control panel
Hill hold assist – I had this on my 06 GTI but this model is a 07 and it does not have it. Don’t know if this can be retro fitted or not. I’ve had a search on the forum but there is no real conclusive answer...can it?
It’s missing the “Dual” climate function from the climate control panel. Is it common to switch to a Mk6 climate control panel? If so, is there a list of required part numbers?
What it’s got that am not a fan of:
Kufatec Bluetooth thingyio:
Pain in the arse to access – just seems that there are too many functions / options
The Highline constantly displays the “Speed control” warning, unless I change the display to the Kufatec one, the one that shows the water temp, oil tem, boost etc – not sure how to change this especially when coupled with the below issue
The multi-function steering wheel stalk (Right one) is devoid of any multi-function. Not sure if this is down to the Kufatec.
I’ll get some pictures up soon. It’s just been mayhem since I arrived back on the Island, so apologies in advance.
