Saw an R-line Scirocco in Pulman Sunderland yesterday (after popping past between Mill car clinic to pick up my fixed GTD, and dropping the Skoda rental car off at Europcar by the Stadium of Light) - looked amazing in Ultra-violet. The Talladegas of the R-line looked better than the Scirocco R's 19" Cadiz (IMO).
There's an Ultra-Violet R Line Scirocco in a dealer near me too. The colour certainly looks amazing.
Quite an expensive car next to a Golf but then again you get 19's, leather and nav but lose Xenons, foldy mirrors and the radar with all its features. I'll leave the MQB platform differences out of it as again, you gain some things and lose others (mk7 definitely seems to be a bit flimsier built than mk5/6/Scirocco in sheet metal terms but is lighter and handles amazingly plus has latest generation electronics).
On another note (but related to the Scirocco too I guess!), seeing as the R-Line has the 150 TDI does it have smaller brakes than a GTD? Does a GT have smaller brakes than a GTD?
