The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

[BaseCamp]

Nice set of Rims.
I have a GTI being delivered later this month, can anyone recommend a good place to get paint protection in the Sutherland Shire or Alexandra and a detailer to get the out going car ready for sale.
Thanks.

I've bitten the bullet as a bit of a guineapig and opted for one of OZ's latest - the Leggera HLT (not to be confused with, but not dissimilar to the Ultraleggera). Will be the first set in the country, the 18s have only just started rolling off the production line. Hopefully they work well on the car, if not I guess I will look for something else.

Stuck with 18s for the performance/weight advantage, and the fact I can keep the tyres the same.

I'll be posting more information in the wheel thread in due course.

Niiice! Are they gunmetal colour? They look great, will be interested to see how they look on the MK7. I've been considering a set of Gunmetal Superturismos on my car

So will I as no one has really been able to get a handle on the finish. The OZ official description is grigio corsa bright, or bright race grey. The best I can gauge is that they are a cross between silver and grey, with a somewhat shiny finish. I've had feedback from someone who went to OZ in Italy and saw them direct and their description lines up with this description. I'm hoping they line-up well with the CSG finish on the car!

I can definitely vouch on the OZ ST LMs in gunmetal - I actually posted a pic in the GTI thread today on a suspension query of my Mk6 wearing them.

The good thing with the OZs is they're in an 18 x 8 ET48 size which will work well with the GTI; in fact you can basically go OEM with the ST LMs as they also come in a 18 x 7.5 ET50 size as well.

This probably belongs more in my Mk7 wheel thread, but in any case if you decide to look at the OZs let me know as I can get a sharp local price on them.

A cheaper alternative if you like the finish (less spokes) are the VW Rotarys, some sharply priced units being sold by vwparts in the sale section as well.

Just secured a White Golf 7 R. Picking up next Wednesday 14 May 2014.

Sure beats the 4 month wait I had for the GTI back in 2011.

Good price mate...how does the rear cabin / leg space and boot space compare to your BMW X1?

I'm booked in to Reflect Effect in North Parramatta next week for Opti-Coat (and associated prep work). Dave seems to get pretty good reviews and was active on Detailing Paradise (forum) a couple of years ago with plenty of examples of his work. The work looks really good so hopefully mine comes up well. I'll let you know how it goes.

Bit premature but I've just got booked in to pick up my R (PW, Leather, Roof, DA) tomorrow at 1pm! Super excited and looks like there may not be much sleep for me tonight.

Then it's off to get its Opticoat-Pro and Tint on Saturday. Pics to follow.
