up!.. has anyone else driven one?

[Astron Boy]

Yeah, that's pretty much the same thing I'd be aiming for.
But in red with the factory 'waffle' alloys.
Looks great.
same vinyl piece at the bottom of the bumper, and roof completely covered.

Was messing around with paint before about a possible side decal of sorts for a bit more 'sport' but couldn't get it right.

NICE. well i ordered mine today
white with maps, roof racks, mats, wind deflectors.
going to drop her on reset h&rs like the guy in that post, run stock steelies, vinyl wrap the roof and lower bumper insert. also fitting my thule wind fairing to the racks. will get some 16x8s down the track when ive killed the tyres some.

[Astron Boy]

Let us know how you find the wind deflectors.
Was tossing up getting those, but some cars just don't benefit from them as much.

[jamie88]

they were 127 bucks, other cars have had them and worked well and i like the look, also love to rcuise with windows down

[Astron Boy]

Cheers for advising the price.

No worries. Same for mats. Racks are 350

[Astron Boy]

Kinda makes me think of going aftermarket.
Even importing from the UK is cheaper. :S

Shipping would be pretty rough on them I would imagine.

[Astron Boy]

I have a UK contact which can help with shipping.
I suppose otherwise you are correct, it would be a bit much.

[jamie88]

ah lucky you! if you order in any accesories let me know, id love sill protectors and rear hatch protector strip too.
i emailed a few uk sellers and no one will ship to me.

[Astron Boy]

Well, I can definitely get them here.
He can get the goods delivered to him, and he will send to us in Aus.
Direct ship, or if people want to collect from me.

Sorry, unsure if I should be doing this, I know this is partially classified as trading.

[jamie88]

id be more than happy if you could help it wouldwork like i pay item cost and whatever shipping is to you, then onto me.
we could do an UP group buy..

[Astron Boy]

I'm a way off from buying mine yet, so, don't know what accessories I do and do not want.

But if there's enough interest, I reckon some group buys would be good, yeah.

[jamie88]

vw didnt call me today to say my finance was approved, they are a pretty ****ty dealership though, got tossed to two different salfepeople, had to wait for them for ages to take phonecalls and ****, hopefully ill get the ok tomorow. i think im going to keep the vr6 though, its way to fun to drive. except for the lack of air con its an awesome car.

I bought the $13990 demo base model one on carsales......i think it's a good buy...considering Hyundai are doing driveaway on the i20 for the same price.

the cheapest 'other' dealer would offer driveaway was on the floor stock was $15,800 and they wouldn't budge.
