Up until I saw a rising blue one in the flesh at the stealers I thought they looked pretty bland for the money, which I appreciate is - to some extent - deliberate.

But in the flesh the R's have a lot of prescence.  In the pictures the wheels seem small but in they don't in person.  The extra few mill lowering really makes a difference ... all the small things add up and while it is a little understated compared to the GTI I think it actually has more presence.

A contradiction in terms: 'understated' and 'more presence'. How?
Sorry, the R is an overpriced hatchback with a small boot, full stop.

No they don't.
RS Audis have silver ones and they are more expensive and faster than Golf R Panzer Wagons. :sick:

Gizzy: Yours are colour coded to match the rest of your paint as you have a GTi. These are bloody gloss black and all the Rs have black this and black that. Feel like going to a funeral! :sick:

Overpriced maybe.  Understated with more presence is not a contradiction.  A little dog meets a big dog, which one is doing all the barking and which one doesn't have to  :wink:
