Don't want to be pedantic (okay, yes I do :wink:) but the price difference is £6050. Minus the spec differences to bring a GTI into line with the R (xenons, 18's and flat tyre indicator) the difference becomes £4455. For those who bought pre-LED tails and want to better match the R's performance you can take off roughly another £700 for the lamps and a remap. That leaves about £3750 which is still a considerable difference but you do get the benefits of 4WD - if you feel you need it.
Basic cost - 4 door 6 sp manual R    £31310
Basic cost - 4 door 6 sp manual GTi £24880
Difference = £6430
Check VW webpage please.
That price from the vehicle configurator? I think you'll find it includes £380 of RCD510 upgrade.

Ok mac. Bully for the RCD510. You have still massaged the figures a bit.
So the price difference between the two with Bi-Xenons on the GTi is £4950.

Doc: I like Carbon Grey as Amanda drives one: a GTI.
Whoops: She drives a black one. :rolleyes:

No, now I don't like Carbon Grey. :grin:

Exonian, your right regarding those aftermarket lights there more ming than bling! The fronts maybe ok but the rear lights are horrid.

Like the mrs my car does get dirty once in a while so here's a pic (of my car not the mrs)...



I'm liking the sound of these new BBS wheels. Tell me more to feed my wheel addiction!
Great photo Martin, I think dirty cars look so mean in winter. I really love that look you get when you've blasted down a freshly salted motorway and the car is covered in dirty go faster stripes from top to bottom. It gives it that real Mad Max road warrior look!
Boys 'n' girls, keep 'em clean in summer and filthy in winter (apologies to the detailing freaks here, but I have always wondered about your states of mind anyway...)  :laugh:
 Going to have to keep you all in (disinterested) suspension about the new wheels for a while as I'm not using the Golf much at the moment, so it's just sat slightly grubby in the garage waiting for the weather to warm up whilst I blast/slide about in my elderly Ibiza GTI to work and back and in between working silly hours.

Amazing how this thead started about lights and has gone through alloy wheels, dirty cars/women and now on to the usual topic of which colour looks crappest on a mk6!!! I love it!  :grin:

(P.S. I like all the colours, but would prefer 'R' blue if we had the choice)

There is not another forum that can be such good entertainment and being informative at the same time.
We are the 'Bling Forum'. Is that ok to say? Or is it not quite PC?

Yes there is its mk5golfgti.co.uk its much better than this one for that. :evil:

The price of the R v GTI is also worth comparing broker sites as the GTI can often be got with large discount but the R is very rare discounted much making the gap even bigger.
