Looks utterly fab pipsyp, but can't resist saying it... Have fun cleaning it lol.

top marks for the red phone box in the shot too.

Cheers mate I really like it.....it's going to be hard work keeping it looking like that though definitely haha!! :-)

Phone box is pretty old school, dont see many of them about anymore!

Very nice Pipsyp..... welcome to the 'Candy white and dark chrome' club haha!

Agree with your comments re DSG not changing 'instantly' when you press the paddles. Would be nice if it did, although any auto system will have some delay whilst the computer brain and mechanicals respond to your input.

I found the DSG abit off-putting at first when wanting to drive in a spirited manner - almost like it is urging you to drive sedately and when you want to give it some stick there are too many options - 'D' with/without paddles, 'S', Tiptronic.... However after a few thousand miles now its learning to drive more how I would like and have now found how to get the best from it. Rarely use 'S' mode now as I find it hangs onto the gears that bit too long. If you want to boot it its better to drop down a couple of cogs yourself in either tiptronic or with paddles.

Cheers mate. Dont regret the colour combo at all; looks even better in the flesh than I thought it would, keeping it clean is going to be a bit of a pain but never mind!

Think its going to take a while to get used to DSG and get the most from it; like you say there's so many different ways of driving it its finding the one that suits best I guess.

Paul, car looks lovely - got an idea of what to expect now when mine comes through

I may get parking sensors retro-fitted aas my mate was in a top end bodyshop so will be the cost of the kit plus painting the sensors and free fitting

Yeah think Candy White and Chromes is defintely one of the best combos and dont regret it for a minute :-)

OEM sensors are really good, you get the Optical Parking System (picture of car appears on stereo display and shows you how near you are to stuff), great for a Skoda Fabia!
