Astonshing... thats all i can say... the whole car is just indescribable.
The DSG is just amazing ! Silver, well, i love that colour more than WHITE now !!! :surprised:
Just love the interior, wheels and the performance... what a car !!

Very nice Richi! :happy2:
Did you see that standard Reflex GTI on our (long and boring) way out of Tatton on Sunday? It looked the shiz! :happy2:
Your a lucky boy! :drinking:
-
lookin good Rich, nice 1 and take it steady :happy2:
-
welcome to the club
-
Yes i saw that !... GOD - that was a nightmare that queue !!!
When we got to the end.. it was just a case of people getting out onto the road... it was an hour wait !!
Anyway... i had a great time... really enjoyed talking to everyone here... really nice to be part of a family club... :drinking:
Thanks to those for setting it up... and thanks to TopCat for the Coffee :drinking:
-
Nice one rich, welcome to the Official GTI club :happy2:
Need to have a Yorkshire meet and get some shots of the cars together...thought you had R32 brakes?
Need to get onto VC for a new sig now.

....
Nice 1, Rich! Am very very happy for you and can feel your enthusiasm through cyberspace!
You really don't need to mod that Pirelli. Looks so much better in silver than the black Pirelli's.
:happy2:

:happy2:
Exactly what I was thinking. Wheels really suit it in silver. Dont be losing the OEM look of it. Subtle mods are always welcome :drinking:
-
Great car Rich :happy2:
I think we need a Pirelli meets Edition 30 silver photoshoot :wink:
-
Stunning car - enjoy! :happy2:
-
Looks class dude, have to say at the minute I'm having a real fetish for the sliver ed30's and Pirelli’s. The colour doesn't do any other model justice and after test driving a Rocco it didn't do anything for me so one could be in mind for the future.

looking gooood rich!! congrats :happy2: :congrats:
-
WOW Rich that looks class! :happy2:
-
I must say I really like that!!! Good choice! :happy2: :happy2:
-
Lovely Rich, for some reason the Pirelli suits silver very well :drool: :drool:
-
Looks good Rich and i as u said the DSG gearbox is one of the best things about the car it makes sitting in traffic or taking off at the lights soo much more easier and it sounds so much better than the manual gti... :happy2:
Enjoy it... :driver: :driver:

Rich
Looks great and welcome to Pirelli ownership. They are pretty well specced as std though a remap will not go amiss if the insurance allows.
-
Im confused.. Thought you sold the 1.4 due to insurance??
Either way a nice car :happy2:
-
very nice rich :jumpmove:

:surprised: oi! hahaha :happy2:
we all now DBP is FTW!
Looks good though Rich, i do like the silver ones alot myself! Looking forward to going to a meet and finally not being the only Pirelli owner there!
-
enjoy it rich! but be carefull mate! ;)
-
Im confused.. Thought you sold the 1.4 due to insurance??
Either way a nice car :happy2:
Was classed as heavily modded due to the wide arch kit being real expensive to replace if even a little knock occurred.
Pirelli being 'standard' is cheaper for some reason, weird how the world works :laugh:

Correct, with the whole kit being fibreglass... i small knock would shatter the whole piece..
Even worse, with the back arches primed..rivited... primed and so on... its not a simple replacement... its a huge cost of repair even if it was a bump...
Next thing, the waiting time to get parts made in Germany is hurrendous... and i'd be without a car for a long while meaning a courtesy car..
All this made them class it as "not for business use" - a company car would not have these kind of mods on... then being driven by an 18 yr old with 1 yrs no claims bonus.. they clearly didnt like it.
I'm over the moon with the Pirelli... i think it looks FAB as it is... all i might do is... Oettinger Exhaust and maybe Eibach springs...
Will post some interior pictures later on...
And thanks for the comments, she really is amazing, and such a pleasure to drive !
DSG is a god send :innocent: :notworthy:
-
so has the TSI gone then?
-
awesome car Rich , now REMAP it :happy2:
-
Yershh, TSi has gone
-
awesome car Rich , now REMAP it :happy2:
totally agree :happy2:
-
awesome car Rich , now REMAP it :happy2:
totally agree :happy2:
I don't agree! Get used to the thing before you map it as it's an animal once done and I'd hate to see you stick it in a ditch!
It will look great on the Eibach's too! :happy2:
-
Looks great Rich you must be stoked. :jumping:
I also agree with the rim king. spend a few months getting to know the car. :drinking:
-
Awesome Rich, thats one rare car. She's a Beauty :happy2:.
Echo what The Rim king said., keep her standard for the minute, get used to it, and see how you feel about it later, but at 18, it may well push up your premiums with you being so young.
You are a very lucky chap, at my 18th i was in a crap old Mk3 escort!!.
Enjoy it :drinking:
-
how long you been getting used to yours Steve :evilgrin:
-
3 years this september 8th :wink:.
Getting Bored now. Need to go faster then these standard Modded Black GTi's :indifferent:
-
Very nice mate, do love the wheels. I see one every morning on the way to work (in black) have to say though i dont like the interior, but then im not the one driving it you are!
Very nice car to drive at 18! What do you do for a living??
:happy2:

I'm a "penny on boy" ( trader )
I import carpet accessories from china and sell to wholesalers...
I do this with the help of my dads company.
Cheers for all the comments, i absolutely love every detail of the car !

-

-
Fella that is stunning!!!!!!!!

-
Looking good mate, saw you at harewood today.
-
Lovin' the interior :drool: :drool:

-

-

-
Good to meet you at vw fest on sunday mate, i managed to pop down and have a look at your car it looks sweet love the interior.
Hopefully catch up at a few other shows :happy2:
-
strangley the seats are the bit i'd thought i'd hate, but alcantara is brill and so much nicer than leather, so which VW would offer leather/alcantara on their cars like audi
