Thanks for that, great vids which would make a useful sticky. The dip process looks identical to how they treat the Audi R8 bodies, the rest of the production is far more automated.

Make sure you post your pics asap!! Are you getting regular plates? I want to know what letters they are up to... XPD?

I got mine this morning, with regular plates and theyre upto XPH !

the gti is one awesome car loving it ! my wife is asking me why I didnt buy it for her and now she wants it !

[entice]

Dealership close to home has series XQ#... as slimline plates they're putting on cars now.

I wonder if each dealership gets alloted, say, a batch of 50, or they have to go in each time with each car's details and register the lot at once (I asssume this and that's why some dealers register batches of cars a few days prior to pick-up).

Went and checked mine out today at Barloworld Glen Waverley. Up to XPD plates there. Heaps of GTI's there ready for delivery.... one white one with the bumper taken off.... ????
Delivery is Monday 4pm, so looking forward to it!

I'm very excited today, picked up my red golf gti !

lovely car ! very much like that can just potter around in it and makes a great everyday car being a 5dr hatch and with understated looks, yet give it a bit of a push and its a lot of fun !

the acceleration of it is quite something, the way it speeds through the 6 gears with the DSG. and sounds excellent too ! feels like in one of the touring cars hehe the way it goes !

I got the standard 17" alloys, because 18" was an option. have driven the golf with the 18"s and not that its a lot bumpier in the ride or anything but thought would take the little bit of the ride comfort the 17's bring. the 17's I think give a nice balance of comfort vs taught feel and handling.

the interior is very nice indeed.

everything has a very nice touch and feel to it, its all very solid and well made. I got the optional leather interior which I did have some reservations about but having got it, all thats forgotten and it is actually gives quite a sumptuous feel to the cabin. plus kiddy proofs it as well whcih is probably handy with our two little daughters.

the mdi ipod interface is excellent and works seamlessly with the ipod which you can put out of sight and gives full control of it.

I would have wished to get the sat nav, but its an expensive option at $2.5k, plus its available of the net. O can be dealer fitted down the track. I might hold off on it for now, be a nice present down the track. and by then digital radio wise who knows they might know a bit more whats happening.

My wife reckons it has a cute bum ! looks nice with the twin exhausts

I got it with the optional tow bar, was a bit worried how it would look as its a dealer fitted option. but think its come together nicely not disrupting the clean lines of the back end of the golf.

The thing I am most happiest about is that my wife took one look at it and was asking me why I didnt buy it for her. and that I should give it to her now ! I was a bit worried what she'd think. She's been telling me just because I turn 40 this year doesnt mean I should be buying anything red or sporty hehe !

ps I'd post some picks but cant quite work out how to upload them on here, looks like have to host them from someplace else ?
