    Ohh unless if you get 'VW' in the as the letter combo. The Z is replaced with a Y in that case

    Love your sig - "I only have 1 reverse light. Deal with it." LOL... my 9 yr old said to me this evening, "Dad, only one reverse light is working"...

    Thanks everyone for all the input and comments.

    Lol thanks... I always reverse park (as you can tell by the gaping hole in the rear bumper) and my friends always tell me!!!

    I bought Mum's Golf GTI in Melbourne, drove it back to Adelaide, and had to get the guys at Regency to crawl all over it before it could be registered in South Australia.

    One of the problems they found with a brand new car (the other was that they couldn't get to the engine number - no ****!) was that "one of your reverse lights is out" - and they were most hesitant of letting the car pass inspection :|

    Do you mean the R36, or the Icelandic grey colour?

    I ment the Car in general. It has more of a presence to it then i though from the photos. But i love the color as well.

    Yes I have to agree.

    Even my wife who was dead set against VW, after looking on the website - was amazed by how well done the R36 was; especially in the white.

    I like the darkened rear lights on the white. It really sets it off.

    its weird, i ordered mine in white, and when i saw the white at this years motor show, i thought i had made a mistake...it looked a bit plain next to some of the other colours, and pearl whites (bmw....drool)

    i think it must be the intense lighting used at the motor shows that made it look a bit flat, because in real world conditions, the candy white really pops...certainly very happy with my choice

    Yes I almost changed to the blue; but kept on with my instincts on this one. Your car's pictures helped too, even though I have a sedan on order. Sporty and yet reserved at the same time. Can't wait to get it - I can't believe its already been 5 weeks since I ordered... another 7-10 left...
