Things noticed straight away

The embossed leather seats are lovely
The blue needles in the dials are very nice
I love the piano black finish on the dash compared to the imitation CF in the GTI
The black callipers with the R logo look awesome
The colour - just wow

Ill probably hold on to the GTI for 3 years but thereafter the R is going to be very very tempting and it will probably be a straight shoot out between this and the mk3 TT when I come to change

Totally agree Craig, it looks amazing and ill be very tempted in 2-3 years!

Yip, it is one gorgeous looking car and with 300bhp and 4wd it will be a bit of a monster.  :evil:

What's the latest news on your car Mark? Do you have a rough idea when you will be collecting? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you take delivery.  :smiley: :smiley:

VW EO are estimating end of Sep, so 3-4 weeks. I'm hoping its sooner but it is what it is - my concerns were only with the build (ie. getting the f7cker actually built) so I've no issues with shipping as nothing anyone can do about that! Nice and chilled now, apart from 100% excitement for delivery day  :laugh:

Plus, get my lovely courtesy Astra from VW on Friday, can't wait  :rolleyes: :laugh:

Great name for a car. I would loved to have been in that board meeting when they sat round the table and decided that a good name for a car would be Adam, WTF  :grin:

Looks lovely. Much nicer than the new GTI IMO.

Mmmm don't think you will find many agreeing about that. Nicer? perhaps, but much nicer, I don't think so

Apart from the wheels there isn't that much to differentiate it looks wise from the GTI   :laugh:

I do think it looks the biz though apart from the 4 tailpipes maybe. I love the look of those wheels and the R callipers.
