Changed to an R from ED35 this weekend as there is not enough of a difference in terms of performance between the ED35 and GTI PP. Agree MK7 R is the performance option and totally worth the extra expense and GTI still best all round.
Here is a pic of the change over, sad to see my ED35 go but grin factor even bigger behind the wheel of the R:
Both fantastic looking cars, congrats - is there any reason you've gone for 18's on the mk7 after 19's on the mk6?
Exonion, thanks. Sorry for slow response been working out of the country. Reason for going for 18's from 19's is that first of all I don't like the Prets and would have gone for Cadiz 19's if these had been an option. However if I had done that I would have also gone for DCC as my wife has a bad back as the 19's on the ED35 were sometimes a little harsh but overall well worth it for looks and sharper steering.
Steering already sharp on MK7 and it rides really well on 18's and I have saved myself the thick end of 2k.
Lucky you! I barely get out of my dreadful cell like office!
And thanks for the feedback on the alloys, interesting, and yes, a good ££££ saving!!!
