I'd like to add another vote for the blue paint.
And the rear lights.


I quite like the blue needles too, and the colour of the stitching on the leather bits, and the dash trims, and the front bumper that doesn't have silly Dracula fangs and ............

I've decided that as I've listed nearly all of the parts off the R that what I'd actually like would be the salary to be able to afford an R  :laugh:

Rising blue paint - I'd love a GTI in that shade!

I think it could be me, but do the normal GTi rear lamps look like this, on the vid around 6.35 from the IAA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evSorFW63YI

They look like the LED rear lamps from the R to me.

Interesting topic, well done for suggesting it!!!

I'd take the following:

  • Engine
    Haldex AWD system
    Rising blue paint job
    19" alloys
    LED DRLs
    Rear LEDs
    Front bumper
    Rear diffuser
    New front and rear shocks
    Revised suspension settings
    ACC mapping

Oh, sh1t, I think I've specified everything the R has over the standard GTI. Maybe I'll just get an R and that's that. Truth is I really like what the R offers over and above the standard GTI. What I don't like is the outrageous price hike. Still trying to decide whether it's worth it. Real case of heart and head disagreeing.

 
Golf R - almost on order - 5-door, DSG, Rising Blue, leather, 19" alloys, RNS510 with Dynaudio, ACC, Sunroof, Parking camera and sensors, luxury pack and cruise control.

Well we don't know 100% yet what the UK pricing is like. Probably going to be a bit of a shock, but until it's set in stone there's a glimmer of hope.

Wonder if that means the GTI will gain LED tail lamps in 2010...
