What deal did you get?

[Vwphile]

Blame the wife.......if she would drive the Bimmer then I'd be holding onto it for a bit longer. As it is it will be just short of three years old by the time the R arrives. I would normally hold a car got four years.

Make sure you drive a 1 series before discarding it if you haven't already done so. I just think the R will make you smile more.

Thanks Mac!

Hi Guys,
I got my Blue R with DSG late Dec for 55K. No other options, I just needed to get a car quickly
As I was in a rush to get a car immediately, no one had one and then no movement on price when I found one for delivery

So of the first batch of cars - at least represented here that must be 5 or 6 RB, 2 CW and everything else nil.

My stealer is delivering a Viper Green this week, my CW next week and they still have their no option DSG RB Demo plus a CW Manual sitting in the Showroom.

I read one report on Carsales which said there were 400 Roc's out in Stealerships now.

I should be (fingers crossed) picking up my Indium Grey R tomorrow. It was the only one they had coming in on their allocated list when I purchased 3 weeks ago.

There you go Mac135... you should arrange to buy GTIPirelli a coffee so you can see the colour in real life...
I have seen one last year in Singapore and it really is a stunning colour.. even more when you have a nice tint on the windows... almost as hot as Candy White

[Mac135]

I might just do that....

GTI Pirelli might also be kind enough to post some pics in the next few days.

I've seen the colour on Roc GT's in the UK and on the Camberwell VW demo. One of the cars used in the dealer launch was also and Indium. I'd be stating the obvious if I said I like it. Yes, almost as hot as CW.

+ 1 reflex silver!

Unfortunately was advised late today that I'll need to wait until Monday morning to pick up car. Will try to post some pics in the next week or so.

In the meantime I found a couple of pics on a UK site Scirocco Central • View topic - Indium Grey 'R'.

Shame about having to wait. I'm a member on sciroccocentral - great forum and knowledgeable guys. All the hero shots are RB, CW and Viper. I reckon we need a hero shot or two Indium and Reflex.

Not quite, I have two of the Viper Green (is that the name?) Scirocco Rs down the street, within two minutes walking distance. I thought it was the same car but I checked yesterday and they are different number plates.

That makes three cars within a five minute walk here.

- The 135 is a bit ponderous and heavy though fast.

Basically I wanted a fun car. The BMW is lots of good things but it is not that much fun.

Thanks for confirming the impression that I had from a few short drives of some 135's - somehow, the coupe felt supremely competent and fast but uninvolving. The convertible is somehow much more fun even if it is a touch slower due to the extra weight. And the manual does seem much more suited to these 135's

Just posted some shots of my RS on the pics thread.

[Mac135]

Just seen them. Not quite 'hero' shots but very nice all the same. Interesting how the character of the car changes with different colours. Reflex not as aggressive looking as the Candy IMO more of a cool elegance perhaps.

Yeah rs is more conservative. Had a tornado red gti previously so thought I'd tone it down a bit...

I struggled to decide between the rs and cw. When I ordered i didnt know the indium grey was on offer. That would have made it an even harder call
