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!

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.
