Picked up this afternoon after almost 2 hours in the dealership signing the paper work, arguing about whether or not the iPod lead is free (only on the Golf apparently - yeah - pull the other one) and getting the right plates put on it.

But pleased to say it's even better than I remember from the test drive and I can't quite believe it's mine! :clap:

Apologies for the dodgy photo but as I appear to live in the only part of the country where it's currently raining, I haven't yet brought myself to take it anywhere in the countryside for fear of getting get it muddy. :rolleyes: I'll post some proper pics after its first wash!

Props to all the SC members for keeping me entertained & informed over the last 8 weeks (I'd have been £18 worse off if it wasn't for you all). Cheers!

:yes:

Thanks everyone. I really am properly chuffed. :)

It's 6am on a Saturday, I've no reason to be up but I can't sleep; no idea why.... just need to find my car keys...

Certainly not its first wash (far from it), but its first full clean - interior, wash, dry, clay, pre-wax cleanse and wax.

Thanks to Taryn & Jim from autoperfection for their advice and supplying some of the cleaning materials.

6 hours overall, stiff arms and back but I think it paid off - unfortunately the paint already has very slight swirls thanks to the dealer toe-rag who ran it through a car wash before I collected it. :grumpy:

Quite a lot of noise in these pics as it was 9:30 pm by the time I finished waxing (man, how my Friday nights have changed...) :rolleyes:

Still *really* pleased with it, starting to open it up now that it's passed 650 miles - already thinking about the Revo treatment... Lurve the way the roof tapers towards the back - looks brilliant from above.

Only niggles for me are the stuttering iPod playback and the dinky glove box. Other than that, I'm loving it. :D
