DTD estimated 16 weeks, and so did the dealer. I do not yet have any means of tracking it.

Which dealer did they put you in touch with? I will be ordering through DTD.

They ask that that is kept confidential. But it was a main dealer and not in the back of beyond.

I understand, I will have to find out when I put the order in this week. I'm so excited!

I ordered a R through dtd to replace the gti pp I currently drive on the 9th of Feb and have a build week commencing the 6th March so it could be much sooner than initially expected. They do use multiple dealers so you will find out when you order. This is the second time I have used dtd and cannot fault them.

Just seen on the R forum someone post up prices from a website called Nationwide cars. They are quoting a new FL 3dr R at just over £25k  :shocked: :shocked:

Just specced one up on that website - 20% off  :shocked: That can't be right, surely?!

About to pull the trigger on my new R. Getting back into VW at just the right time it seems.

5 DR, DSG, Tornado Red, Black Pretoria, Black Mirrors, Keyless, Discover Nav Pro, Dynaudio, Rear View Cam, 90% tints.

Keep changing my mind on the colour though. Loved red on the GTI but it went better with the red lines, if memory serves the R has some blue/black badging and headlight lining?

Current - MK7 Golf GTI - Tornado Red, 5 Door, DSG, Performance Pack, Dynamic Chasis Control, Panoramic Sunroof, Discover Navigation, Dynaudio.

On Order - MK7 Golf R - Pearlescent Black, 3 Door, DSG, Vienna Leather, Discover Nav Pro, Rear View Camera, High Beam Assist, Keyless Entry, Dynaudio (Tech Pack)

All gone.

Now;

MK7 Golf R - Lapiz Blue, 5 Door, DSG, Carbon Nappa, Discover Nav Pro.

No there's no blue detailing on the R's exterior at all. Only the interior - needles, ambient lighting etc is blue.
Someone on here has or had a red R and I remember it looked stunning in his pics.
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.
