I've just seen a brand new yellow gold R in the flesh... Wow it looks fantastic!
-
They had one in Crewe vw the other week , with black mirrors and 90% tinted glass
Looked stunning :smiley:
-
It's a pity no one will actually buy one :whistle:

Don't 'dislike' it, but not for me as will stand out more than I'd like, but for sure they will sell a few once seen on the road. Quite adventurous of VW to make it available set's it apart from the staid boring colours. Too in your face for an R IMO.
And maybe nicer on an R-Line?
-
Black mirrors and black prets it looks great.
-
This was on the road with 19's. It really looked simply stunning.
I'd choose it for sure!
-
I don't dislike it and I'm sure it'd look great on a bright sunny day when the car is gleaming. But how many of those days do we get in this part of the world?
For me it's probably just too showy and fad-like, very much a marmite colour that could hurt the residuals of the car too.

I'll say it..... Horrendous colour!!! Why anyone would buy such a colour is beyond me.
-
A mate of mine has just bought one for his wife. 5 door with 19's, 90% tints and a sunroof. He's wrapped the back half of the roof like I've had mine done. It's got silver mirrors, but he has another set of covers painted ready to go on. I think it looks great... but for someone else. I couldn't have one myself.
-
I love it, but I wouldn't have one.
-
I keep seeing an R Line in this colour locally to me.
I do quite like it but would never be bold enough to buy one.
-
Thats quite a dramatic look!....part of me likes it and the other part that signs the "I'll take it" document wouldn't have the courage :undecided: having said that the last Cooper S we had was that launch colour they did called volcanic orange.. :whistle:
-
Honestly think that looks more like an R line tdi than an R to me..
Not a fan

Blimey you lot really are a 50 shades of grey lot aren't you.
Have you ever thought about a job driving hearses?
-
Looks good in that sunlight, but not for me i'm afraid. On a dull day it's a little reminiscent of chicken korma.

Ha ha. I can see where you’re coming from :grin:. That’s what I’ll be thinking now if I see a Turmeric Golf Golf on a dull day. Agree it looks good in sunlight, but then most car colours look at their best in good, bright light.
Vw have been a little more adventurous with the colour palette on the new Polo with a couple of ‘marmite’ colours; Energetic Orange and Honey Yellow;

I quite like Energetic Orange.

Must be the light as that sounds much better than it looks and I love orange.

I'd quite like to have some energy but alas would opt for Lacking Energy and Enthusiasm Silver

It's funny you should say that, I passed the yellow R Line again this morning with dull overcast skies and it looked completely different to how it radiates colour on a bright day.

Hearses tend to be black which is the worst colour in the world after dark blue to look after.
There's a funeral director lives around the corner from me and their personal cars are anything but black! :grin:
In fact one of their relatives/friends/someone who randomly drops by has a white Golf R.
That's my fascinating fact of the day.
-
🤢 That is all !!
-
But will look great parked outside a nail bar. Or is that not PC enough and to much a generalisation :rolleyes:. Can you do that color for me babes!
-
I think the colour would suit a convertible Evoque.
-
Maybe VW see what I see... All of the R drivers I've seen in the last few weeks were women.
Perhaps it is a girls car.

The one I see locally.is driven by a blonde, unless it's Robbie Savage she is female.
Doesn't return my friendly wave of recognition. Maybe it's just the family hack? It's not like I flashed :grin: :laugh:

If only VW rolled back the years and released a Golf R or GTi in Oak Green - that would sell like hotcakes!

They do, in Germany.

Been a LONG while since I've been here on the forum. Currently have a Mk7 GTi (owned from new for 3.5 years) and starting to consider a new 7.5 GTi - hence drifting back to the forum. However, I saw an R in Tumeric Yellow the other day. This, as I'm reading through your posts may have something to do with being female, but I'm highly tempted to go for the R, just so I can have this colour. It looked utterly stunning :laugh:
-
Maybe we're onto something here :D

5 door, DSG, Tumeric Yellow, 19" Pretoria Black, Voice Activation, Dynaudio, Rear View Camera, Climate Windshield, Pano Sunroof.
Uber perfect configuration :laugh: What do you think?
