GTI looks great, nice to have an individual look plus you have a nice spec too.

Cheers mate!

i qould love a gti in nimbus grey..........why on earth they never did that boggles the mind. Good choice though.

Alex.

I would have gone for Carbon Grey if this had been an option like on the Golf GTI. Not seen a GTI in Silver or Blue as yet but don't expect I will as I have not seen another 6r GTI on the road since I have had mine.

Lovely motor mate - congrats.

Just one thing, I noticed from the inside shot that your MFSW has buttons on both sides (like a Golf for instance). All other Polo 6r's I've seen only have the buttons on the left hand side, including the wife's new SEL.

Is this something you did or to do with the GTI model and it having a high line dash?

Apparently this is a GTi thing, I've just been in and bought mine and was told that the MFSW was just on the left hand side, by the salesman, like all the other Polo's but after going out to the car there were controls on both sides. Then there was an "ahhhhhh" moment when he then recalled that being introduced on the GTI's only .

Yes this is a definite GTI only option at present. It came as a surprise to me when mine came with both sets on buttons as all the literature just shows buttons on the left only. GTI also gets Highline MFD rather than Midline as in all other models again another surprise, however it's not the same as the European models as it does not have large speed display as a function and it does not have as many menu options eg convenience settings as it does on my Golf GTI. Not an issue just pointing out the differences.

Lovin' those wheels Alex. Really makes the car stand out. If you don't mind i'd love to have a look at them in the flesh sometime.

oh my i want one

alex how much did you pay if you dont mind me askng!?

The interior shot of the 510 6-CD changer reminds me what a naff idea CDs are these days. It's a real kefuffle to get disc in and out - and then it only tells you useless stuff like "Track 3".

The media connection in the glove box is another tale. A sub-tenner 4Gb USB stick will hold about 40 CDs and name each album and track...

I agree never used the CD, what are your issues with the media connection only used the ipod not the USB. I use my 80GB ipod Classic and find the 510 is great for navigating and making the most of the ipod. Not used the SD slot either as I have all my music on the ipod.

Yes I think the black looks great on both red and white cars so your White GTI would look awesome with dark wheels. I like what BennyBoy has done with his grey wheels looks nice contrast against the White.

No issues. The USB storage and iPod connections work great. I have a different cable to connect either in the glove box. There is also a media socket by the cigarette lighter. This does not supply power to the iPod as the glove box socket does and there is no comprehensive display of files and tacks as with the glove box connector and of course anything connected to it can be seen from outside - in fact I wonder what the media socket is for.

I haven't found a use for the SD slot. I hoped I could view my digital camera pix on it, but images are no recognised...

very smart

I have used the media socket for my iPhone when using it for music or prat nav Had to go into the set up menu of 510 to enable the media input as it came disabled from the factory.
