Golf mk8 / Grenadilla?
« Last post by Exonian on 30 April 2024, 20:06 »
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 (well, it beats watching Corrie) and spotted a car in a slightly unusual shade. I clicked on it and it showed it listed as Grenadilla Black. A more in depth search turned up a few more listed in that shade including at least one R20 Years.

Can anybody shed any light on it?

I’ve learned later in life that price only matters before you buy anything.
What is really important is living with your decision and being happy.
So clearly right to avoid this one.
(In similar vein I have regretted not up-speccing my cars when changing then wishing I had).
The right buy will be out there for you.
Happy hunting.

Sorry guys, I think Youtube compresses the video which takes some of the sound away. I've popped the video into my One Drive if you don't mind taking a look.

No mods at the moment until the warranty runs out.

To be honest it could be a heat shield touching when accelerating possibly..

Which heat shields are usually the main culprits?

Hi, no need to remove the existing lip as this sits perfectly over it and covers it up

It has double sided tape along the top edge, although i changed this for some genuine scotch 3M tape as the one on it wasn’t very sticky, it also comes with self tapping bolts and holes along the bottom edge.

Cheers Jason

Did you have to remove the existing trims along the bumper sides before fitting the TCR lip?
Easy to remove, if so?

Thanks

Yeah peace of mind knowing its done, 

It was surprising how much was sitting in that area, but as the drain plug isn't draining under the pump location it will accumulate somewhere.  It makes you think that only changing the oil will see a big build up over the years in these cars. 

Service kit £30 (2 seals/2 bolts for pump)
Drain plugs £11 each
BorgWarner oil £28 (VW oil is more than double and likely supplied by BorgWarner)  (Febi do an oil at 1/2 the price of the BorgWarner but not sure as it was so cheap)
