34 days to New Car day (not that I am counting)
Well I contacted VW car persons today and moved my collection date to 2nd week of August.
The main drive for this was being out of the country for September lol. So will contact BMW tomorrow and have them sort picking up the 330d Hearse. Just need to wait on my Golf R Estate (and I am getting 90% rear tints). The way that this year is flying by, I reckon if I blink a few times it will be New Car day. Now the usual bits n bobs to sort, transfer insurance, sort GAP (FP), book detailing, order paddles and black tips). |

Sounds like the next 32 days will fly by but those last couple of days will take forever! I'm still at the stage of it being too far away to even count, potentially even the end of October for me.
Onto the brave new world of jewel like interiors, dodgy paintwork and panel gaps you could park a Fiesta in. We all expect a full write up on each of these, we don't care how it goes or how it sounds; just tell us about the bling

lol I imagine it will be unjewel like.
However I do like the new dash. Not much on the bling factor. Tornado Red, Black Pretoria, Black mirror caps, black roof rails, pano roof (tinted), 90% tinted rears, DCC. |

Good news Brigand
The car, not the cap. New car day is always a good one.

From the one I saw and various online pics n vids. TBH never seen a non tinted pano roof. Edit: going of a post on VWROC, it comes with a 90% tint as standard, hence me also wanting same for rears to match. |

I will probably use the company on VWROC that are fitting them, not seen any complaints to date and pricing seems canny. Got to sort my insurance and gap next week. |
