Worst colour ever to grace a golf IMHO
I must be the 0.1% that liked it

« Last post by SRGTD on 01 May 2024, 08:04 »As far as I was always aware the Golf R could only be specced in Pearl Black, White or Blue.
I have no idea how or why I ended up there but I found myself scanning through incoming stock of R’s and Clubsports
I think you’ve secretly got an urge to be an early adopter of a mk8.5 R or Clubsport; you’ve had your current mk8 R now for a few months now so it must be time for a change……
Maybe Grenadilla Black is the new Black Ruben (a.k.a. Purple). For those not familiar with Black Ruben; Google it and have a look at the images.
