The computer has one line from I can tell....all the usual like temp above it though the area that changes with the button on stalk is one line....

Bet you cannot wait can you mate! I know what I was like the last night before I picked up mine!
Highline is when you have the ability to alter a lot of settings of the car, It is when the dash screen is one large pic, and when doors are open you will get a picture of which door is open rather than just having a picture light up.
What are your plans for it?

Great choice of car mate but biege leather on black paint work !!!!.What the hell were VW thinking that day. Sorry but just my thoughts.

^^^Have you seen the pics? A couple of members have this combo and it looks great. Definitely brightens up the interior!

..........do you think?. I've seena couple in the flesh when i was looking for a GTI & to me it's :sick:. The mk5 GTI was ment to go back to the ''orginal'' mk 1 GTI roots, tartan seats & decent power etc. The biege leather seats just don't work in a GTI for me.Sorry but just my thoughts. :innocent:

No worries mate, everyones different. I like the black interior but the biege definitly brightens it up.
No planned mods, might run it standard for a while and look at a remap later in the year. The wife has said I can't spend anymore money :sad1:
I was up at 5.30....anxious about the bloke buying mine but all done and dusted so setting off in 15 minutes :driver:

Good stuff mate :smiley: Make sure you dont leave it long before swapping the dv, for the newer Rev D (piston type) :happy2:

...... :happy2: you will enjoy it :wink:. I'm on my second mk5 GTI & can't think of anything else i would want to change it for, unless i won the lottery of course. :signLOL:

Picked it up and love it........
Heres a pick from the dealer site - will take my own next weekend if it stops raining...Power is great - felt the DSG I drove 2 weeks ago was slightly quicker though that's probably my gear changes.

Biege leather interior looks great - got some cheap rubber mats from argos and cut round the fitted mats and they look great - breaking the biege up and adding protection during the winter.
Any help with REVO would be great - going to try the 5 day trial though need to know if any other mods are needed for a stage 1 - if so might stick with standard setup.
Thanks

Hi and Welcome along :driver:

Hi & welcome mate
Picked up my GTI about 5 weeks ago and absolutely love it :happy2: You will to :happy2:
It is definitely one of the best all-rounder’s.
A pic of what the highline looks like:

Midline is half that size.

Mines definitely the midline one then.
Love the car anyway so this is no problem for me.
Booked in for the 5 hour trial of revo next Saturday. Worth a try I suppose. :)
