Now that the photos are starting to emerge from the Golf R from the UK and Germany, I've noticed something else that we miss out on.
If you look at my pictures below, you'll see that the Germans get a nice looking aluminium footrest for their left foot, and we in the UK get a naff plastic chunk!
I remember a while back the DSG owners in the MK5 forums were seeking a cover for their UK cars, and a chap on the forum called
Gulfstream11 produced some with a GTI logo on it - which looks very OEM.
I contacted him the other day, and asked him about making me one with an R logo on it. I found a decent photo of the new style R logo and he's imported it to Autocad and can hopefully have it laser cut in the next week or so. Its under £20 and as you can see from the photo of Hurdy's DSG GTI - it makes a big difference! Well worth it IMHO.
