That is very very nice, with the best colour and wheel combination, you must be delighted

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
