Just picked up my 5 door GTI with 18" detroits, everything else stock. Originally wanted the carbon colour but none available till next month and needed before end of June. Settled with white, looks fantastic! Surprising power even after driving a supercharged commy for the last 2 years. Will wait a few weeks before giving it some hell

Purchased from Liverpool VW, NSW

Power to weight is the surprise..

I had exactly the same scenario, wanted carbon steel but the wait was so long I settled on a white GTI. You're right, it does look great.

Candy white was my first colour of choice. I think it looks great, especially with a good dark tint. Plus, my R32 was black and that was so damn hot in the warmer weather. That had leather also and consequently why I went with cloth in the GTI. Leather is great with heated seats in winter but in summer, not comfortable.

Supercharged commodore isn't much to write home about, what were they? 190kw in a 2tonne car? Maybe not that heavy, but u get my drift

yeah you're right, they take a couple of secs to wind up and at high revs are completely useless. Too heavy & too thirsty.

planning on getting a dark tint too, just need to find a good place in Sydney.

Got my GTI today, made the order last week so only waited for ONE week.

It's Red 5dr with 18" detroits and tinted, and everything else is stock and that's probably why I can get it so quick! The car is built on April and landed in Aus on June. Been drive it whole day, just simply love it.
