Well guys, my GT has arrived at last so I'm just sharing some pics with you all!

Picked him up from the stealers this morning, all new, shiney and lovely. The GT is my first car that I've bought brand new so felt really nervous but at the same time dead excited going over to see and collect him. Deinitely worth the 16 weeks and 5 days wait and has plently of the factor for me!!

He's the 170 TDI with 18" charleston alloys, xenons, shadow blue metallic paint and highline computer.... and I LOVE him

Pics of when I arrived at the stealers this morning...

With just 10miles on the clock!!

Back home, settling in

And just to show you... Lupo and his new big little brother

Looks good Lynsey - about time this post came up, although at the same time I wanna know why you're not out driving it all in lol

Stunning colour, will be interesting to keep that shien... Love the choice of wheels, and that grill looks fantastic now it's not blinged up in .. well... bling lol

The only thing is - some tievin' pikey's  nicked the I off the back of your car

C 

PS - Xenons too dammit *jealous*  

Car Choice = Fantastic

Colour Choice = Excellent, I wish my R was that colour

Wheel Choice = stuck for words and look easier to clean that R's

Oh and what's that I here him say in a distant whisper.....<a    p    s> , <a    p    s>, <a    p    s>

What else can I say...other than I was 30 when i bought my first brand new car...OK so I'd had a couple of new company cars 

Must admit I've never been taken aback by the MK5, but yours looks different - the wheels and subtle styling changes really work well - and the colour suits it so much

Looks great, those Charleston's set it off really well.

BTW I'm 38 and have never owned a new car!!!

Looking very nice... you must be thrilled! Are you keeping the Lupo as well?

Is that what Esther said to Chris on Friday night ?

Great looking car, Lynsey - glad its finally arrived

Thanks all

3 days later...I've done 52 miles... I know that is slack but I've got plenty of time for stack some miles up and I'm running him in...slowly

@ Cat, the lupo will be sticking around for a while, mum will be pottering about in him for a bit, then when it comes round to insurance/tax time i will be having a re-think!

Lynsey:

and I'm running him in...slowly

In reverse lol

CKB...I have the R but am afraid I cannot fit a tow bar

L...take stuff with out consent not on my life your honor...

Sweet!!!

The TDi 150 is dead... long live the TDi 170!!

Ace Car! Ace Colour, Ace Alloys, Ace Options etc. Im drewling.  As for those limited milages, get her out there beasting her  fine she's new but you can still have some fun whilst running her in. 

 Surely we must have a VW owner with a Toureg who can trailer her to the event

Again, thanks all for the nice comments

My car is actually a "he" so be careful  lol

I'm still waiting on a Touareg owner to come forward actually  

Heh nah it just sounds like an awful petrol   Don't say things like this though, she gets paranoid very easily (trust me, I've done it heh)
 

THere's two GT core engine models, the 170 2.0 TDI as Lynsey's got here, and the 170 1.4 TSI

Well actually...now you mention it, I'm having my doubts (Chris, it don't sound that bad does it?! )

I've only been putting diesel in it for the past 2 months, you'd of thought I'd twig by now

Hi there!

I really like the blue colour and I did originally ordered the charleston with my Golf Mk5 140 GT (with DSG) but because I ordered so much on the extra's the wife went a bonkers when she saw how much it cost. So, I had to take out the 18" along with the leather! :(

Really, nice pics, I'll put some of my pics on later too, can you do some pic's of the dash, wanna see how much it differs?

One thing I have noticed about my 140 GT DSG, is the first gear is so short,its practicularly useless, anyone else feels the same? Saying that, I think the DSG is the best semi-auto out there at the moment!

Here's a pic of my 140 GT DSG! :)

Nice motor Lynsey

Just about to place an order for one

Looking at getting a Tornado Red 2.0 TDI 140 GT Sport with dual zone climate, highline and arm rest.

Just which i could afford the Charlestons and met paint. Great combination of wheels and paint by the way

Here are some updated pictures for you, taken kindly by Aric at the mega meet last weekend after I complained of having no decent pictures of my car!

He's 9 months old now, covered 3800 miles (wow!) and I still love him to pieces.  only mods so far are the bottom rear bumper is now colour-coded and I have some r32 skirts (which, at present, aren't 100% the best colour match, but cos I'm slightly anti-car at the mo, I am not doing anything about just yet). A couple more mods in the pipeline...

Enjoy!

and a few stalker pics on my way out...

hope you like

ITs indeed a very nice car...  I would have a 3dr but had too many complains so ended up a 5 dr.
I think your GT Grill are much nicer then the newer GT with gloss finish grill..
Remember what I keep saying...  would you know if I have borrowed your front bumper?  haha

Still can't beleive you not even done 4000 miles!! 

Lynsey,

Really love how your car looks - the colour, the wheels, the skirts, the painted rear and 3dr shape  Looks so good on the grass in the sunlight. 

Great photos Aric

Frisky...

Yay for good pics , nice one aric - and yes the car looks great.

Why are you anti-car at the moment tho mate?

C 

This 170 looks lovely, having parked next to it and seen it in flesh I agree that the colour is awesome.

Love it  

I think I like this picture abit more...

aric:

Yes I would notice!! I've now clocked 4000 miles yesterday

Think it was just a phase - I have them every now and again when something isn't right with my car, just had that kind of feeling towards it really, but fear not Christopher, its not another phase like I had last year, that resulted in me ordering a new car!!

Thanks very much - I'm proud of him

goody_gti:

Looking awesome The rear valance looks much better since you have had it resprayed again

Thanks yeah its much better... just shame about the rest really! Don't go poking around too close at the weekend though will you

Smart photos from the meet up Lnyz, haven't seen those ones before

How come you didn't paint the bottom lip on the front bumper with the rest of the bits? Might look quite smart, or a little too painted? I dunno

Smart car though..... gonna let me drive it one day then??!!!

Must admit car looks awesome, was never really taken by the non GTI mk5 it just didn't look right to me a bit too people carrier/307 looking but yours looks the business for sure.  Subtle but very effective

Would agree with the santa monica alloys comment made earlier as well
