The front bumper looks a bit rubbish at first glance and seems to be a copy of the optional extra bumper on the outgoing SEAT Ibiza but seems to have an extra vent at the sides on closer inspection.



Interesting mechanical differences too.

I wonder if the 19" alloys will be standard in the UK to offer better value for money bearing in mind VW have knocked over £5k off the list price of the R Cabrio which used to cost something stupid like £38k

Lapis Blue too, I wonder if that's the same shade as the launch GTI?

Is that real or a photoshop?  The front, yet again, is too understated.

But the rest - wow!  :drool:

Not sure if it is real or not, looks artificial to me, but agree the front is too understated, but yes, rest looks nice!

I like the specs but not the looks from the front. Rear looks fine though! :kiss:

All that lightweight reduction and they stick heavy assed revised Talladega's on it too. :sad:

 :smiley: Nice colour
 :smiley: Tail lights look a tad darker than the GTI (cool if so)
 :smiley: Nice quad pipes (but still OTT on a 4 cyl engine IMO)
 :smiley: Quite liking the 19" alloys
 :smiley: Doesn't scream 300 bhp which I love (wolf in sheep's clothing)
 :cry: Don't like the front bumper at all (much prefer the GTI's)

Pretty much with you all the way there, also looks like it has full width LED indicators too where the red stripe would be in the headlights.  It's a similar story with me and the old R - very powerful, but the rear exhausts didn't quite work for me, and from the front it was too understated.  The GTI had a far nicer bumper, different enough from the normal golfs to stand out a bit.
