Newbie from UK

Hello Everyone,

New member here, never really taken part in forums but want to change that!

Picked up my black 11 plate 1m with 7,000 miles on the clock a little over 10 days ago and already put 1,000 on it!

First thoughts, I love how driver focused it is, coming from a scirocco r with dsg the transmission got some getting used to, but its now love...
Also, I have only driven FWD cars, so the 1m gave me a shock in the rain! I am going to take it to a couple of track days to find the limits of the car.

I did notice a 'thump' when changing gear from 1st to 2nd, but my dealer assures me this is normal.

Planning on colour coding it a bit more, already have the black grills, trying to contact IND about a couple of parts. As far as power goes, I am content atm, but in due course will look into a DMS remap.

Just seen the recent wales thread, if there are any members in the Surrey area please feel free to contact me!

Pictures will follow! As soon as I work out how to do it...

Thanks for reading

D
