at least now i have this thread to follow so i can occupy myself!

i even put a white polo gti as my desktop wallpaper!

haha, yeah that happens.

i have leather in my car. the heated leather seats are awesome, especially in this seasons cold nights. just crank it up and burn the hell out of your arse and back

. some people say they are uncomfortable after being in the sun for a while (too hot) but i don't think it gets that bad....black leather would be a lot worse.

nice work dude. the leather will look and feel like a million bucks. and no they don't get that hot in summer. and you can always put a sun shade in the window, anyway.

the Polo GTI seats are different to the Golf GTI ones. they're shaped differently, the headrests are different and the Polo seats have the red stitching, which looks fantastic (the Golf's do not). you also get the trim on your doors. you're gonna love it.

oh. thats interesting... so let me get this straight... the leather is grey not black? i'm confused? it kinda looks blackish in the brochure? didnt notice the leather door trim tho!

i think the only thing i'm going to miss is having a centre arm rest.... also. can i ask, are the cup holders in the centre reliable? cause they looked a little shallow to me... ie would it hold a maccas drink? or would u mainly use the one on the stereo?

hahaha....im picking my polo "estimated delivery time" 18th Aug! woo beat ya

Leather is 'Anthracite' (basically grey).

Yeah the cup holders are good for macca's drinks. The hold pretty well.

They might look shallow, but they grip like crazy. My car is still new so I've not yet had any take away food inside, but I don't see it having a problem holding a maccas's drink. I used it for the first time today with a can -- it fit so snug, I was amazed.

The dash cup holder from what people have said on these forums are that they're weak and crap. In fact, when I picked my car up, the guy who ran through all the features of the car told me that they /were/ crap but that mine had been changed to the newer one and is much better.

I've used it a couple of times to hold a bottle of water and new passengers always seem drawn to it like a moth to a flame and subsequently give it a push and play around with it. Haven't yet had a problem with it and it does indeed feel rather solid and not flimsy at all. So yeah .....

I know what you are saying about passengers and that dash cup holder...My mates have taken to calling it the "Turbo Cup holder"!!

...Mind you, along with myself, my mates are pretty simple!!!

Dont worry your moving to queensland soon.

is that a good thing or a bad one.

yep, the door trim is the icing on the cake. it completes the interior.

people absolutely love the cup holder in the dash. i've never had problems with it or the other cup holders. but people can only bring water inside my car. no coke, no food - that goes in the boot. if people don't like it, they can walk. yeah it's a tough rule, but then whenever someone gets into my car it's like "wow your car still looks brand new". damn right, there's a reason for that!
