As I'm sure nearly everyone here has been torn between the GTI or the Fiesta ST. I decided to go for the GTI! A friend of mine has an ST and i know it truly is a fantastic car, I just wanted that something a little different, less common and a more comfortable everyday drive. After selling my beloved 04" Nissan 350z after owning it for two years, which i had plenty of fun in, I wanted something unabused with 0 miles which I can truly call mine! Anyway for those interested here is my spec:

Flash Red / DSG box / Armrest / Airbag deactivation switch / Light&Sight / Convenience / Winter Pack / Aircon&Climate control / Carnet app / Sport Performance Kit / Cruise&Park pack / Carbon effect mirror caps.

I know there is a few options there people would never consider or DSG haters out there but hey... (I got most of them to cure my OCD from blank buttons on the center console )

Just placed my order this afternoon so I will find out more info next week regarding order times and build slots and all that jazz...

So yes, pleased to meet y'all and look forward to disusing GTI's! Matt..

Another gti in Belfast...cool!!! Where did you order it?

Flashy red
Pano roof
Light n sight
Parking pack
Sport pack

Picking it up on Wednsday. Could been earlier but the car is down south. So had loads of sleepless nights lol just can't wait. For anyone trying to get immediate delivery just ask ur dealer to check UK ports stock. Wen I ordered mine there were like 6 over different ports available.

The pano roof on the red looks great and compliments the black gloss wheels.
Sure you'll love it.

I think you find this out by pressing the Car button, then going to Settings and System Information/Version.
Thanks.

Is it on the invoice when you order the car as I can only find an order number which is 7 digits long.
