Hi,

Picked up my KR GTI on Monday and (to my relief) I love the colour. When I picked it up at the dealership a customer of theirs had seen mine and changed their GTD order to KR. It definitely stands out 😉. My wife describes the car as erring on the side classy rather than sporty. Either way I would choose KR again. I have also seen black which also looks good.

This is my first GTI and I can see what all the fuss is about!

That looks very nice in my opinion  :cool:

That looks much better than when I saw one actually.

Maybe it was the crappy weather and the colour is quite lighting level dependent.

VW are of course using a KR one for their TV advertising, so they must rate it.

Anyhow, enjoy your car - I'm mainly enjoying mine  :cool:

Congrats Snowman!  :cool: The colour and wheel combo look spot on to me. I saw a similar one in the flesh at the back end of last year and thought it looked great.

Snowmann. Kings red looks excellent and a sunroof. Well done. Hope you enjoy it.

Just lovely. The 19s make a huge difference imo. I know that feeling of relief when you see the colour! Congratulations.

Slightly sad I know but I’m tracking the ship with my new GTI on it. 😂
