Red does look good on them. One drove past me the other night. I think it was the one owned by DTUK
Bet you cannot wait.

Not excited at all unfortunately. The Dealership is a 15 minute walk from my home and I could not be bothered to have a look. Was totally excited when I got the BMW. Will miss it hugely, but not its size. IMO the Golf is no looker and nowhere as good looking as a 330d M Sport in Estoril Blue with Coral Red Leather. A veritable Superman.

Can any of you that have recently picked up a Golf R just take a look under the bonnet. Not sure if mine is missing a cover over what I think is the ECU. My GTI PP had a metal cover fitted over the top.
It is the bit in between the Battery and Fuse box.
Just looks a bit vulnerable compared to my GTI  :embarrassed:
