New Polo - I've got one!

[JonW]

Beautiful! Love your car and agree the colour really pops!

[GTI mk6]

That looks great readerr0r......very impressed and the red grill piping ddefinitely stands out, that blue looks nicer than a photo I saw on here a long time ago....maybe because it's so shiny
Actually the colour is a nice contrast against the Denver alloys too....I better stop with the compliments now

Congrats on taking delivery, pleased you are enjoying it....did I miss that pre delivery post?
Agh, didn't like the bluetooth / iPhone issue....I have an iPhone 4 and no hack to fix mine

Thanks mate, It's a great colour but I don't think it suits 5dr for some reason, only 3dr.

Yeah I went a little quiet pre-delivery, I was worried if i got too excited it might get delayed or something . Worked out well because then the polo was able to surprise me on the way home.

You're very welcome interesting that SB doesn't suit 5dr?
Do you think it's because of the side profile....front doors being longer on the 3 dr?
Makes me feel better now then (mine being 5 dr) cause I keep looking at your SB with a tinge of envy now haha.
Showed my other half (hubby)...yeah I'm a female forum fanatic wanting to learn all I can.....he was also impressed with the colour choice.

I would be very interested to see the colour with no sun on it, imagine it would be fairly dark?
Big , non subtle hint for more pics please..

Sounds like you have done well at adapting the Bluetooth, BTW

Latest update for me.....got the anticipated call from dealership, she arrived today!
Pick up late next week (our choice due to work commitments)

I asked the delivery co ordinator what it meant by ‘delivered from' 30/4...she said that was when it had left the dock and in transit?

Oh hello there


Broke it in on Mt Tambourine with a mate and I had a smile from ear to ear, excellent drive!
Shadow blue is an amazing colour, the red GTI piping pops really well.

Also I don't mind the touch adapter (which I was dreading), you dont lose any functionality connecting to it instead of the 9W7. I just enabled sleep mode so it shuts down 15 seconds later and turned the illumination down to minimum.

EDIT: Scratch that I hate it, it cut out the audio on the iPhone. But i've got a hack to fix it

Wow I really liked red on the Polo, but I think blue is my favourite colour now. Nice colour choice! Did I see you drive past Mowbray Terrace in East Brisbane a few days ago?

I do work around there, but I wasn't on that specific street. You'll actually find it parked at the Woolloongabba Busway during the week

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the Shadow Blue rocks! Wish I had been able to wait to get that colour, In the flesh, even more convincing!

Don't let anyone tell you it's "Old Man Blue" ( nods to gavs ). They're just jealous!

Grandpa blue

I could have had a GTI in 6 weeks when
I started looking but once I saw the colour it just looked bland, sorry. That photo is looking drastically over exposed though so it does look lighter.Congrats on the purchase though don't let my personal preference diminish it for you

[readerr0r]

Thats just the QLD sun my friend, but I don't mind . Colour is a personal choice and I think it's a bit cruel how most car brochures just show you the tiniest section and they're just fairly inaccurate photoshops.

Snapped another picture at work.

LOL at Gavs Grandpa comment! I reckon this colour rocks and cant wait to get mine too, and i agree the 5 dr looks bad in this colour from what ive seen. I will do pics of mine in the Sydney Sun when it lands... will be a few shades darker I guess LOL
