Lovely! I do like the Blue GT's. Always wondered if they were much better on fuel than a GTI?

Does the R-line kit fit the GTI?

Re: Paint fault!

Mine is a white 2010 (60) Polo GTI- but crucially a 3 door. I'm pretty sure the 3 doors are built in Spain and the 5 doors in South Africa.

53 mpg average from my GTI (Newquay- Leeds!)

How??

The GTI is genuinely the best car I've ever had- and I've had a few!

I filled up in Newquay and got to Leeds- after many hours od driving with a quarter of a tank left. 65-70 mph all day admittedly.

Well impressed :D
