Welcome!

What's the spec of this 58' plate?  :smiley:

Regards the tyres, dont know, but if they're Pilot Sports you'll find they're pretty good for general daily use  :happy2:

Welcome.  :happy2: if it has michelin's on, then there i s a good chance they are Exalto's. Not a bad tyre at all and they last forever.  :happy2:

+1. The pilot exalto's aren't too bad but not brilliant. I had wheelspin issues which I didn't get with the Pilot sport 2 tyres.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

cool!

looking forward to it now! (well looking forward to getting it at least as i won't be driving for another 3 weeks at least. Broke both wrists in a MTB off a few weeks ago so my fiancee will be the sole pilot for a while!!)
