Nice. I think the estate shape suits the R's under the radar image far better than the hatch.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Cheers guys, I think the larger wheel helps to blend in the massive bottom of the estate too. 18's just didn't work

Thanks for the positive comments guys....
I did the side too, really wanted to turn the red paint black but couldn't get a sticker for that.
The Clubsport has loads of black features and the GTI has loads of red features, so they seem to fade into the background on a black or red Clubsport. The features stand out the most on white or silver cars, but I just had to have red!  :grin:
Now all I have to do is work out if I should do the grill badge. On one had it would then match the others, on the other hand it's on a black background!


You can get vinyls to change the colour of the "background" of the front badge. I got mine changed to black and then did white vinyls for the background (it's a white car).

Got home today from my Yorkshire/NE holiday, 700+ miles. Mine might just be a GTI PP, but what a joy to drive over so many great roads :smiley: Sure my dodgy gear changes might be a mile away from the super slick DSG but with the few small mods to my gear selection components each one felt great. So comfortable too. I might just have to keep this one long term as there's little out there that would make me want to change.

I was thinking the same Watts after my 900 odd mile trip. Can't think of many other cars that can replace the GTi PP.

Wow, where did you go? As much as a new GTI P or TCR would I'm sure be very good if not a bit better, I just don't think they are worth the difference. My existing car has to me become a bargain :smiley: Mind you a CS might loosen my purse strings in time :whistle:

I keep looking. I'd love a C63 but the mileage I do would leave me bankrupt in one of them. I'd love a fully loaded Clubsport but it's probably an extra 10k on top of mine.

I think a remap, TCR spoiler, and Clubsport muffler might be a more cost effective solution to keep me happy for another year or two then I plan on going electric.

Went from Sunderland to Isle of Skye, drove round Skye for three days and back. I've still got one or two niggles with mine which is making me look for something else. Not sure it's worth the extra for a 7.5 performance (some digital clocks and 10 odd hp) just doesn't justify the extra.

Watts, you could always swap for the same!  :grin:

3dr,manual, TR. Pretty good value I think for a '19 plate with del miles compared to a TCR.
