The cloth interior on the R is sh1t,  I like the recaros but not at the price!! so it would have to be leather and VW leather is pretty poor!

I prefer the back split exhausts on the GTI but like the leds on the R, could mod them on to my GTI at some point then I'd be a very happy bunny

Only bit of the R I'd like to have is the LEDs at the front.

Otherwise GTI all the way!  :)

Okay whilst we're pulling them to pieces, I like the Rs bumper, rear lights and blue needles plus the darker door inserts. And the proper side skirts whilst I'm here.
I like the GTIs wheels and errrr......that's about it.
I like the GTDs discreet exhaust and honeycomb grille (probably on my own there) and subtle seat pattern.

Oh, and I'd like that lot with and R36 engine please Mr Chairman of VW  :laugh:

GTI looks, with R brakes, running gear and engine...
GTI 18" wheels - only fractionally better then the R wheels.

Recaros, in half leather with GTI cloth centres.

Winner.
Where do I sign?
