Very nice! I saw an R on the road yesterday for the first time and it looked very nice indeed. I wonder if those small spray guard will fit the 35? Wonder if they'll do much too. Hope you enjoy the R as much as I love the 35.

Thanks Ginge, I loved the GTI so I'm sure the R will be at least that good - I've a feeling it'll be superb. Don't know if the little spray guards will do much, but they add a certain something to the appearance  :cool:

That is very very nice, with the best colour and wheel combination, you must be delighted  :cool: when you talk about the spray guards do you mean the little black plastic wheel arch extensions? If so my wife had these on her Eos and I asked the dealer what they were there for and I was told as it had 235 tyres (same width as the R) these are a legal requirement as the tyres stick out of the arches a little. Hence why you don't get them in a GTI. Also they did nothing for spray as this is not what they are for.

Good luck with the new motor  :smiley:
