So whats your initial thoughts compared to the GTI? I test drove a used one recently and was left wanting tbh, it was definately quicker but not as much as i'd like! I'm hoping you'll say i'm talkin rubbish and the used one was knackered!  :laugh:

Your car looks fantastic. I reckon the anthracite wheels would just top it off.

Let's not start this up again. Or, at least if we do let's start a new thread so the guy can enjoy his R.   :rolleyes::laugh:

You lucky man sundaydriver, 3 months - I placed my order on 4 Feb, still don't have a confirmed build week - got week 27 provisional [Put back from 23] Seeing your pic has made me start hankering after mine even more. Think it might be the DSG that's causing delays.

Your right about DSG, my salesman said VW had a shortage of DSG boxes which were causing long delays.

looking forward to seeing it with the BBS wheels on

i don't like the gloss black talledega's on the rising blue but the silver look great and i think the anthracite BBS will look spot on.

It is quicker and will feel it too as the EA113 (I think that is right) with K04 has a different torque curve and will be more fun because of it  :laugh:
