You lot are a bad influence! Golf R on order!
« on: 10 March 2015, 11:44 »
So I went to my dealer the other week enquiring about how much it'd cost me to change up to a Golf R from my GTI. After much bartering we managed to get down to a reasonable price and I took the plunge. This forum is expensive! :D

So ordered for next September is;

3DR MK7 R
DSG
Pearlescent Black
Vienna Leather
Discover Nav Pro
Reverse Camera
Keyless Entry
High Beam Assist

Ironically the only two things that I've spec'd again from my GTI is the reverse camera and the DSG! I didn't bother with DCC (after having it on my GTI for a year and a half and not being able to tell the difference to the suspension as many of you have probably already heard from me :D) and I didn't bother with Dynaudio either as I've now had chance to listen to my brothers standard sound system on his R and it's more than good enough in my opinion. I found that I was forever changing the settings on Dynaudio to try and get it sounding right.

No sunroof this time either. As I'm fed up of it squeaking.

As for the wheels. The Pretorias are lovely I agree. But I'll be using my Cadiz for winter wheels and buying a nice set of 19" BBS CH-R's in Satin Black for my summer tyres.

Special thanks to Monkeyhanger who helped me fully understand the way the numbers work which allowed me to get a cracking deal.

Ordered for September 1st on a 65 plate :)

Nice one.
Interesting you have went from the Nav to the Nav Pro. What's your thinking on that one?

Just don't change anything on your order, or you'll be waiting until December for it!

So you didn't fancy the Prets and then buy some 17/18"ers for your winter wheels? Probably for the best seeing as adding Prets to my order has resulted in a whole new order and an extra 12 weeks wait. You'll also get to choose your preferred Summer rubber rather than (likely) being stuck with Bridgestone RE050s.

Leather is surely going to be a BW45 freebie now you've specced it!  :evil:

Upgrade the leather to the Carbon Nappa - it's great, worth the extra cash, you won't regret it I promise!

Exciting times, well done - you must be very excited!!

What took you so long, it was an inevitability  :whistle:  :laugh:   :rolleyes:

Nice spec.  I'm also aiming for a 1st Sept handover.  Half hoping I'll benefit from any BW22 changes, you never know  :huh:
