Just had a response from VW regarding UK GTI Pirelli numbers, VW are showing circa 210 have currently been sold and 36 remain in stock so they are estimating 250 in total and VW have no intention of providing plaques
-
wow....only 250 of them?
i bet they estimated more sales than that right? ed30s sold like hot cakes,
-
to be fair order books were only open for about a month on pirelli, so sales rates about the same if they were left longer to sale.
anyone fancy an ed 30 for a pirelli :laugh:?
-
think you could order may through to beginning of august for factory orders, we ordered mid July and repecced what was to be the dealer demo

penny only dropped that the spokes are in the P shape, what a tool......

I actually saw another Pirelli on the road a couple of weeks ago. Both pulled up next to each other in traffic and had to do a double take seeing the same car! haha

P.S. I had to have someone point the P out to me too :laugh: I was thinking of a conventional P rather that the P in the Pirelli logo :signIWS:

Im sorry, but i still cannot see the P in the wheels....

Chris you are a star. :grin:
first off imagine the p in the famous signature pirelli, the round bit of the p extends over the letters, google it if your not sure.
Then look at the spokes of the wheel only and the bit that connects to the rim is the vertical section of the p and the actual spoke is the round bit, if you look at the line down the middle of each spoke, well that is the space inside the P. :fighting2:

here goes
if you look at the rear wheel and look at the spoke thats at 10 o'clock, its got a sticky out bit on the rim, thats the first bit of the P, then the second bit is from that line to the wheel bolt and around and back to the rim, hows that

Oh!!!
I was just picturing a normal letter P!
Yeah, it immediately clicked as soon as you mentioned the Pirelli symbol!
Cheers!!

Thanks also Billy! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

its ok chaps been sat on our drive since october and penny dropped last week, read it in vw driver then missus worked it out :)

New to the forum and asked how many Pirelli's were in the UK on an earlier post. I guess this post answers my question. Quite like the idea that there are only 249 other cars the same as mine.
-
asked vw for the split on colour this week and won't give it, however, they are still saying only 210 currently registered
-
So are the rest still unregistered? :evilgrin: Or is there only 210?
-
I was given a number of 222?
-

Do you have a plaque to proove this?

I think he means he was told 222 were produced, not a specific build number for his car.
-
Oh I see!! sorry mis-understood his statement.. :happy2:
-
Yes I was referring to production numbers. Thanks
-
So where are the unregistered ones? :popcornsoda:
