Hope this works - Sorry its a rubbish pic just got a quick one to post on facebook. Will post more tomorrow. Just picked it up today though, absolutely love it Going to get the dealer to fit cruise control is the only change i'm going to make to it. Thanks for the advice on this when I first posted

Looking good mate, what engine did you go for? Hope you got a good discount on the dents on the A pillar!

Thanks
Its the match 1.2 60ps, no point in getting anything higher I only drive at around 55mph so anything else is wasted on me.
Will try and get more pics up. Loving it so far though

Great choice, enjoy the car mate!

I bet you are! Yeah that makes sense, we had the 60ps S with A/C and it was fine around town and the odd motorway journey at 55/65 in the slow lane but because of the low amount of torque there was literally no overtaking grunt at all and with the increasing amount of miles I had to do for work I changed over to the 1.2 TDI SE and I am loving it. I don't know if mine was a bad one but I it used to drink petrol like no tomorrow, I averaged around 30mpg driving to and from work 8 miles with only 3 sets of lights

I've not managed a full tank yet only drove it from the dealers home then to work once but I hope its good on petrol! Do you find by any chance that the air conditioning comes on randomly? Say for instance i'll be driving along with just the fans on at 1 or 2, and the heat at the middle aimed at the windows then near the end of the journey i'll look and the A/C will be on. Is there any way to turn this off?? i hate it being on when theres no need for it :/
