Oli Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I had REVO on my GTI, which I was very impressed with, however after seeing the setup at AMD, they would definately be toying with my next car, when the bloody insurance company pay out.

stevepayne Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks RedRobin - I have indeed been lurking a while so have picked up quite a bit about the GTI - more than my dealer ever told me - useless pile of ..... anyway! Had a message from him today that its on the ship!!! mistert99 - maybe its the same ship as yours? Been investigating installing a TV tuner to convert the Sat Nav - been told its pretty simple but need to check some part numbers when it arrives :-) Cant wait to get it - getting excited again! ps good luck eld - would be good to get it b4 weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablorubino Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 spoke to the dealer again... VW have scheduled it to be delivered to my dealer on Friday and I've got the registration number! If it arrives in the morning they are going to get it PDI'd and ready for collection on Friday late afternoon! If it doesn't arrive until the afternoon I'll have to wait until Monday...

mistert99 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 so it was on the same boat as mine - mines at dealers on friday also and i also have my reg plate - shame it wasnt GT 56 DSG! Cant wait! Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablorubino Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 whereabouts are you then mister99? I have a "G*56 ***" plate... allocated today! had hoped for "GP56 LAP" which would be good! popped into the dealer this afternoon and they had a Diamond Black 3-dr GTI in the showroom... damn it looked good in the flesh! really made me want it to come on friday as planned!!! can't wait either! hope you're planning to post some pics too?

mistert99 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Im on Hampshire/Dorset border so Im not a G plate at all Im HG... Its a shame that GTI doesnt really lend itself to cherished plate... I would love to pick the car up on Friday but I am dependent on the ebay sale of my Clio V6 completing (finishes at 11am tomorrow!) since my backstop is to trade the old car in against the GTi (dont want to be left with two cars - done it before and its too stressful!) Fingers crossed the winning bidder will hot tail it down to me with a wad of cash and I can race over to the VW dealer and grab the car! I will post some pics up when it arrives - its a tornado red 3 door with DSG and Monza IIs... gonna be cool Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think a cherished plate suits any car, as it hides the cars age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldiablorubino Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 just noticed your sig OliH... nice car! Vauxhall Astra 1.8 SRI Auto... mmm. although the gearbox can't be as bad as the 114000 mile 51 plate Citroën Berlingo van that I've been driving for the last month!

stevepayne Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Message from dealer this morning - car has arrived :-) Providing my insurance cover note is through by Friday then I will be picking up Sat :-). Looks like all the GTIs were on the same boat. Mine is an RE56 plate - although there is a cherishered one waiting to go on. Cant wait for the weekend :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you'll absolutely hate this car and that you'll regret having bought it! 18,000 miles later and I'm still grinning and she's looser and flying! And I haven't even re-mapped.

[/ QUOTE ] Surely a GTI suits itself to a cheerished plate more than most other cars, you get 3 letters at the end of each reg, now I wonder what three letters could go there Im probably not thinking laterally enough - what plates could i get for it?
