Hello :)
welcome to my 18week wait :o for the delivery of a 5door black GTD.
probably should be posting on the Mk6 site shouldn't I?
Does my log in work there?
-
Post were you like :grin:
Your log in is the same over there as here. Its more like an added forum section than a seperate forum.
Welcome.
-
Post some pics when you get it!! :party:
-
Will do, though given the wait, i might as well forget about it for a bit.
-
nice choice can wait to see pics
-
oh nice :happy2:
-
Just been informed that it will come with leather as std, when i ordered cloth.
Thats a bit of a result.
And that bluetooth is now std accross the range. (though i had ordered that anyway)
It looks like all GTis will also have leather from build week 38.
-
Welcome :happy2:

....If that had been the case when I ordered my Mk5 GTI I'd probably have cancelled my order. I much prefer cloth.

I'm happy touching leather or cloth. :wink:

Well its arrived :)
I ordered Black, I got White. Go figure that one out. All the options were present and correct, as the was the free upgrade to leather.
I had toyed with white at the time of ordering. That, with a combination of rather liking the white and the fact i couldn't be bothered to wait another 20 weeks resulted in me accepting the car as it was.
I've got to say, its rather good:
Running it in this morning (or not ;) )

It's very nice mate :happy2:
But you order Black??? And Cloth??? :confused:
Wtf happened? What did the dealer say?
-
BTW, some 19" BBS and some H&R springs and it's pretty much Perfect IMO :notworthy:
Very nice Motor :smiley:

Well all GT and GTD/GTI cars from build week 38 come with leather, i already knew that would happen.
You can't have cloth anymore even if you want it
The colour is a bit different. They are still looking into who messed up. I suspect its the dealer.

I rather like the 17s that it has, they look a LOT better than the GTD 18s, and the ride is more pleasant.
-
yeah I was just saying, if it were mine.... :wink:
Well you got to be happy with the end result, but that's some dealer error :stupid:
Gorgeous car though bud :notworthy:
-

Lovely looking :happy2:
-
Did the dealer offer any discount for it being the complete opposite colour you ordered? Lol
Nice car though :)
-
Nice to see you got it i hope the dealer will give you a few freebies for the slight colour difference!
-
Very nice :happy2:

I've been amazed by the economy of the thing.
I didn't bother running it in, and drove it normally out of the box.
This morning, 50 mile commute, 35 miles of motorway (with a bit of start stop) and the rest A-road and town.
Trip was rest when tank was filled

You will be less popular than Jeremy Clarkson, posting these sort of pictures. :surprised:
I for one think you should be BANNED.......then shot :fighting:
:wink:
-
Looks nice does that, did you get any discount then because of their minor error? :signLOL:
-
Lovely motor mate. Although leather is nice I think the cloth is lovely on the Gti/Gtd...but as long as your happy and that mpg is amazing.
-
Nice car m8 & fantastic mpg,it looks good in white tbh.

Nope, i took it as it was. Otherwise would have waited 25 weeks for another.
And i prefer the white to the black, just wasnt' brave enough at the time of ordering.
