The R is a fantastic looking car in my eyes and any pictures I have seen of it have all been positives.
However, I saw what looked to me like a car that had had after market chav LED's put on the front of it. I could only see half the car as it was behind another one and they were both going slow as they were coming up to lights. Anyway as I got level with it I realised it was an "R". I couldn't believe it!!!

Here's a better look of them

They fit quite neatly into the top "slat" of the front grill IMHO

They also act as the sidelights (in the sidelight setting) and also stay on when the headlights are on.

It's intereting that, for the UK, there are 3 different blues to choose from a total of 8 colours with R.

If both were the same price everybody would buy an R.
I would not.

Black wheels whats the in thing with black wheels they went out of fashion in the late 80s early 90s  :grin:
Not a fan of black wheels whats the point of big black wheels they just look like giant tyres when moving  :grin: Black wheels to me look chavy and belong on a nova or corsa.They lower the class of a car and make it look like a cheap chav mobile to me. Not a fan. :lipsrsealed:

Different strokes for different fokes all that counts is that golf R owners like there cars but it does not meen everyone has too or meen everyone wants one as they don't.

Snoops:

I became a pretentious chav last Wednesday. Blame SteveP. :grin:

Would I buy black wheels? Probably not. They look much better in reality :smiley: and on other people's cars. :evil:
How cowardly can one get! :grin:

Best wheels are on Neil gti's and Ess_Three's cars. :smiley:

I have fallen out of love with them too, after looking at a white one with them on at a local dealers (whos also a Volkswagen racing approved dealer) There too wide and so the tyres are stretched. They also looked too big to me. I much prefered the R 19s or the BBS ones. But again different tastes.

I'll stick with my Monza Shadows as I have no choice. My palms have stopped itching. :grin:

So are you thinking of changing your wheels, Snoops?
