Flippin 'eck. Maybe I'm getting old, but looked a bit dangerous in parts. While/black combo on the R does look mint!

I wonder what spec that GTI was, as it seemed to have a big exhaust and what looked like winter steels!

Good comparison of the back lights too, i was not 100% on the LEDs till now.

I still like the silver much better than the white though. :wink:

Apologies if this is going a bit off-topic, but does the R have uprated brakes over the GTI?

Agree white looks very nice, is it actually easier to keep looking clean than black? My GTI is black and it's a bugger, I've given up pratically. :)

Am in two minds about front DRLs and rear LEDs. The rears look ace but that and the DRLs advertise too much (for me) that it's an R from a distance. I'd like to be even more incognito... Can DRLs be switched off?

Saw a Vectra with modded on DRLs the other day and almost LOL'd.

anyone else think the white r looked a bit too much like an astra vxr?

if offered i'd take one in any other colour  :tongue:

if you hate car cleaning - go grey!
Just sold an S5 - previously mkV R32 DSG Metallic Grey with RNS 510 (thanks to MortyGT140)
