The cloth interior on the R is sh1t,  I like the recaros but not at the price!! so it would have to be leather and VW leather is pretty poor!

I prefer the back split exhausts on the GTI but like the leds on the R, could mod them on to my GTI at some point then I'd be a very happy bunny

"calm down dear" it's just a question  :lipsrsealed:

I don't get it! am I not allowed to give an opinion? It was hardly a hysterical rant just what I like and don't about the R.  Which is what was asked.  So p1ss off and go burn some testosterone.

When I see the pair of them side by side like this, I think the R front it much better.  I like the LEDs, and the way they have a bit of blue between the black bits.  The GTI one just looks too plain.  I do like the GTI grill, but then I think the R one looks good too.  I understand what people say about it looking like a GT grill - but hey ho!

I didn't realise you could get the GTI in rising blue? If so why has no one get it, its an awesome colour !

I am of course assuming that is RB that the GTI is in.

GTI
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Rising Blue Metallic is not available on the GTI in the UK, only Germany. I think it looks wrong anyway - blue bodywork and red detailing not right IMHO.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!
