Whoooo...it's official

[Pharkus]

We just signed on the weekend. New R32 is on it's way. Still pending delivery date etc. More details to come.

One question, anyone miss not having any fog lights?
With everything almost coming standard I just plain forgot that they don't even come as an option. Apparently something to do with better air flow to the engine.

Never used the ones on the GTI so wasn't a big loss on the R32.

*A big round of applause*
A well made purchase, one you won't regret.

Congrats mate - tells us more. What specs did you get?

[Pharkus]

We got a 5dr manual in United Grey with a sunroof. Still to confirm ETA and will keep you guys informed =)

[LookOut]

Congratulations! hope you dont have to wait too long!

[Pharkus]

As for the wait, I'm not too fussed about it. It will be an 08 model so it will have the new wheels and bigger MFD =)

[Tim]

Congrat's mate....ur gunna love it!

I certainly don't have any complaints not having fog's, the standard xenons are brilliant (in every way!). In saying that tho', I am investigating the Audi S6 LEDs, have seen pic's and a how to and they look friggin' awesome!

Are they the ones that are like a bar that sit across the lower air vents as seen on the vortex forums? Appears that you screw them in.

Thats them. It's a bit more involved than just scewing in (see this thread: www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28117 ).

Visited my friendly local Audi dealer today to price (with a lot of trepidation I may add) as they are only available as an OEM part. Not on their system as yet, so waiting on a call back tomorrow.

Whilst there, I drove the new S5....what a car! Sexy as hell, goes hard (not as hard I thought it would tho', bit heavy), handling a revelation tho' (power split 40/60 front to rear), sounds like an 8 (but not as good as an RS4), rides incredibly well considering it was on the optional 19's....only problem was it wasn't an S6 so that I could pinch the LED's.....

Forgot to turn the parkers back on for the pic's...took 'em after I got back and was just a little wound up!!!
