Picked up this baby on Monday, nice drive back from Harrogate over the tops, so many toys to play with - It feels fantastic......

So I've been busy giving the old Git a deep clean, wash, tardis, ironx, clay, light polish and then sealed it up - quite pleased with how it turned out

Did you have a mk5 golf before?
Just wondered if you thought the build quality was better.

Yeah had a Mk5 GTi, of course it feels better, but then its a nearly new car (6000) miles - it really does feel a step up in quality, very impressed with the adjustable suspension, sharp steering, DSG (which i didn't have before) the quiteness and all the toys that are included.

Nice good to know cheers for the help.

Yeah pp, it just digs in on the bends & pulls you around with no drama, big brakes are nice as well

Very nice! :smiley:
Cheers Rich, so impressed with it, a relaxed cruiser & a fun machine all rolled into one

Its pure - just like me :innocent:

Looks fantastic - as does your driveway :happy2:

Ha ha ditto, i'm as envious of the driveway as i am of the car :signLOL: I'd love a house with a driveway but that's the price you pay for living in the ol' smoke...

So I took the wheels off and gave them a deep clean and a little polish, before coating them in some Carpro CQUK I had spare.
I also managed to pick up a spare wheel, 2nd hand in very good condition at a very good price

I've put my winter wheels on for a couple of days while the CQUK cures, I also wanted to check I'd have enough clearance with the big brakes

I also took the opportunity to clean and polish the calipers - hopefully they'll stay bright red longer and be easier to keep clean

Looks awesome Geoff :happy2:
I still can't believe how well priced the PP was from new. My mates got a silver 3door DSG PP GTI on a 63' and he got it for £20.5k earlier this year. Incredible value - I now can't find any DSG GTi's under £22k really, give or take a suspicious ad.
Very fond of these - enjoy it :happy2: :evilgrin:

Thanks - I'm really pleased with it so glad I made the switch, I'm getting 34 mpg and thats with loads of town driving and short trips Av. speed 30mph

The Black monza's look surprisingly well on the MK7, think that's the first combo of that kind I've seen, at all. Wonder if on the darker coloured MK7's the 19" Monza's would also visually please, too :party: ...
34mpg - you've not tried the launch control at the traffic lights yet, nah? :wink: :evilgrin:
My mate gets 42mpg on his 25mile night shift commute (which I think is bang on average MPG figures for the DSG PP). Can't really moan at that.

They are my winter wheels off the old MK5, I just had them powder coat black, the bright silver didn't work, I like these, makes it look harder

Stunning car and I have to say there is something about white GTi's that I love the look of, whether its a Mk5, 6 or 7 they just look great imho.
