Got ya. Those flares are for sub-GTI models only.

You could also use it to mount a bike holder on, if you prefer to store it there as oppose to the roof, or if the bike won't fit inside the car itself.

I love how 1st gear takes me to 60 just like that!

I love the mist of air fragrance I get when the wipers are activated. (anyone know how this works & where the fragrance comes from? - i'm yet to find it in the manual, which i'm about half way through).

I love the leather-bound manual!

I love the smart features; the air recirculator auto-activation when reversing to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the cabin.

I love the clever use of storage compartments in a small car.

I love the interior dash lighting at night. Even the bright red ring around the 12v socket looks very nice.

I love the cargo-net for holding down the shopping & allowing me to let rip around bends on the way home from the shops!

I love how the upper dash compartment houses my e-tag & stops it from sliding around when turning, & how it prevents me from attaching the e-tag to my windscreen.

I love how my spring-loaded glasses case sits on the shelf to the right of my steering wheel & can be opened with the touch of its button, allowing easy access to my glasses.

I love how I know i've forgotten many more things to love & that i'll need to come back to this thread to update.

I guess that's something they've added to the 09 version.

Yes. And these two.

Nah, the glasses case I was referring to is the actual case my spectacles came with when I bought them about a month ago....nothing to do with the car.

I just love how access to my glasses are within easy reach of one hand, as the case simply remains in position on that shelf to the right of the steering wheel & allows me to open it at the press of its button, presenting the glasses, as if it was a built-in compartment specifically made for them.
