Just taken delivery of a Pirelli Edition - NOW WITH PICCIE
« on: March 28, 2009, 08:28:42 pm »
Just thought I would say hello and introduce my new addition

Traded in my 2 yr old Audi TT 2.0T for a 58 reg, 5 door, 5600 mile black Pirelli Edition Golf GTi.

Not sure what was std on it from new but it has MFSW, high spec onboard computer, electric folding mirrors, auto lights - these all seem like things that would be extra. I would be grateful if someone could let me know what was an extra when they were new.

I have the car running a remap already so it is in the region of 300bhp. It is sensationally quick through the gears compared to the TT and is a mile load smoother. Also, the steering response and grip also seem to be up on the TT - I have a feeling that the very soft rubber of the P Zero tyres may be something to do with it. Anyone got any idea what sort of mileage I am likely to get out of them given most of my miles will be motorway/A Roads

How many other members are running Pirelli GTi's at the moment. I cannot seem to be able to find out how many Pirrlli's are in the UK. The dealer said less than 1,000 but I have also heard less than 250 - Any info gratefully received

Not sure how to post pictures but I think you all know what a black GTi looks like these days. The only difference to a stock GTi will the bodykit (as per ED30) and the 5 spoke alloys

Looking forward to joining the forum

Not the best photo in the world as it was taken hurriedly when I got home after collection



This is what I traded in against it - Never owned a car that attracted so much attention

Welcome, from what you listed only the folding mirrors are options I think

Thanks for the welcome guys,

The more I read old posts the more I am finding out about the car I have bought !!!!

Forgot to mention that it also has an IPOD adaptor in the centre armrest (just need to buy an IPOD now !)

When the weather warms up a bit, I will give it a wash and try and post a pic.

Out of interest, is GTi International being held at Bruntingthorpe this year, I live about 10 miles away  :grin:

I used to go when it was held at the TRRL in my Mk1 GTi years ago

Phil

I gave the dealer my TT + £500 for the Pirelli

The TT was exactly 2 yrs old with 21k miles on the clock. The Pirelli was on the market for just short of £20k.

I lost about £9k on the TT over 2 years (I went mad with the options on the TT when I bought it !)

I think I got a good deal, second child came along 11 weeks ago so the TT had to go
