ROFL!!!

Good spot with the tyres!


Re: the R20T, it looks nice certainly, but I'm not disappointed to have gotten the GTI instead.  I guess that means job done for VW... i.e. they haven't pissed off current GTI owners!

Mk6 Golf GTI 5dr, DBP, Monza Shadow, Xenons, ACC, RCD510, Park Assist, Camera, Lux pack.... and now bluetooth.... and now DSG!

Lets not kid ourselves here, the 'R' is friggin stunning. Crap colour though. There's nothing at all I dont like about it.

Doesn't pop my corn Kev, prefer the GTI.  Might have a drive when one comes out but I don't struggle for traction in my car and it looks like my car being mapped would be quicker than this (more bhp less weight).

Although colour always make a difference and that would look sweet in black.....

But if you were to map the R it would annihilate the GTI, at least 300 bhp from stage 1 vs (a very respectable) 280 ish for the GTI.  The R will have the K04 turbo which means its going to be easier to get more power out of it than the GTI.

£28.5k stock though  :shocked: I hope it comes well loaded as stock.

I would have thought it would also be a 5 door.
