I have just been on the VW configurator to see whats new etc on the facelift.  I configured a Golf R and initially noticed the following

1. The engine is now 310ps and DSG is 7 speed but the acceleration is still 5.1 secs (manual & auto, these figures must be wrong),

2., LED headlights are extra option at £310, thought they would have been standard?

3. Black Pretorias are now available

4. There are less options to add on to the build.  I cannot see App Connect anywhere?

5. There is now a wireless charging option for compatible phones.

LED headlights ( with dynamic cornering function) are standard as I read it.

The extra £330 is if you option dynamic high beam assist as well.

Best to look in the options bit of the new pricelist to see options that are standard on some trims and options at cost on others (look for the hollow square icon for standard). Performance Golfs still seem to get Nav (someone said it was lost equipment - Fred?). Some things aren't very clear that they are standard on the trim level description pages.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I am gutted they have dropped Reflex Silver for the white silver. I was going to order a silver R, but not sure I like the white silver. Does anyone know what it is like?

No idea, not aware of it being used elsewhere in the VAG range, so likely new colour. I'd hazard a guess that it'll look a bit like Sodium metal (if you ever saw a lump of that in Chemistry in school and resisted chucking it into a beaker of water).

It has been available since the launch of the facelift VW Up.

It is a stunning colour and one that I will certainly be ordering my next R demo in.

Reflex is better IMHO - perhaps it'll make the last few MK7's worth more  :evil:
