But then I am as tight as a ducks a**e and also deeply in love with my GTI.

You know that's not true. I am and stop fingering me!

I agree a remap might get you the power, but it won't help you get it down on the grey stuff. The 4WD really helps, and I beg to differ on the looks. My motor gets loads of attention. Although it may be from peope thinking, why has that bloke stuck 19's and LEDs on a golf diesel 

[The Danno]

Oh, and you can kiss goodbye to your warranty, which, when your gearbox blows up, will cost ya £6k in repair bills...

Danno, what 19's have you got on yours? Pics?

[The Danno]

Just the silver option 19" Talledegas that you can spec on the R

Danno,with those wheels being 19 x 8's do the wheels stick out much on the front out of interest?

[The Danno]

Dunno what you mean 19 x 8. They do stick out a tiny bit, but you get a small plastic mudflap on the arch of the R when you spec them, I think it's due to some EU law. I'm sure it was a thread on the R Forum a while back. I'll see if I can find the link for you.

Would you consider a secondhand R ?   There's a guy on the R forum selling his 6 month old one I think

Looks-wise it seems to be very subjective between the GTi and the R.  Personally I prefer the meaner, darker, squatter look of the R but there agaiin I'm biased
