The Official "I have ordered/received my new MK7 Golf" Thread

[langs_sydney]

The contract says I got a couple of grand off but since I also traded a car I was just looking to get the right changeover deal, which I did in the end. The rims make a big difference to the look of the car (I'd have to change the Spielberg's on the normal R anyway, don't like them at all), and this one has a sunroof...I've had many cars with a sunroof over the years and have hardly ever used it but maybe I'll enjoy this one more.

I used to run aftermarket Dynaudio gear in my cars many years ago, and still have all that gear for a future build, it was some of the best sounding gear you could buy so really looking forward to having another Dyn system (even if OEM isn't going to be quite the same level!).

I looked at a lot of cars but in the end the R just stood out.

Nice one! Let us know when you have picked it up and post a few photos!

I got my car last week and gave it a good wash on the weekend. Very happy so far. Tint and R tail lights go on this week and a couple of things I'm waiting for in the mail.

Looks amazing! Well done! Love red

Agreed, classic red.. is classic.

Picked it up on Friday...with the weather the way it is I only have a pic from the dealer. Once it stops raining I'll give it a wash and take some half decent ones.

Yes, yes it is!!

Given I have a white one, I have to say white is the best. But I do have to admit red was my first choice, but there weren’t any available at the time lol

[genebaby]

I hear you. For me red was the only option, and with all options, so I cast my net far and wide and I ended up snagging this car fresh off the boat.

It's a March build and July compliance.

People that know me know I love red cars and guitars so this was no surprise.

Red FTW. White when you just can't wait to get the car (then maybe regret it after a couple of years [emoji12]).

Ha ha, yes, for me there could be no regrets.

Many was the dealer who had a white one they could sell me, no dice.

[Tommot]

Hi guys, I’ve noticed a few people have ordered wagons lately, care to share prices and specs?

I’ve been offered a new indium grey wagon with Dyna, pano and bootliner, $59,831

Thoughts?
