Hey guys!
Thanks for the warm welcome and all the compliments on the car! Always nice when people say nice things about it!
WESTON, GARETHB, RDFCPETE - I must admit when I first decided to get a GTI, I was looking for a tornado red one. I eventually found one that looked decent, arranged a viewing and halfway there the guy called me and said he was swapping it for a 2.0TDI A3! Not good, especially when my mate had dragged himself outta bed early to drive me 150 odd miles to go and have a look! But hey, now I have a grey one, id have to say its the best colour too (in my opinion!) I think that the grey makes the car look more sophisticated or mature in a way!? Less boy racer.. which I like to think the GTI is!
RDFCPETE - Yep, I have removed the GTI badge from the rear, it wasnt easy making the choice to have it off, as its a badge I like to display with pride on the front of the car! I think doing that with the wiper delete makes the car look slightly wider and a lot smoother from behind. Which can't be a bad thing right!
Finally, TFSI_MIKE - Glad you like the interior picture, fisheye lenses are a lot of fun! And as for the Mintex pads... the old standard discs and pads I had on the car when I got it were totally shot, so throwing an anchor out of the window could have been an improvement really! But I would definately say now they are worn in that they dont fade off half as much after a good hoon as the old standard ones (but the fact the new discs are vented, drilled and grooved may help this).
Again! Waffle over!
