Very nice remlapeel  :cool:

Glad it in arrived in one piece, even though I think you were mad to let them drive it  :tongue:

Look forward to seeing more pics of it in the sunshine, and hearing your thoughts on the car once you've got to know it a bit  :smiley:

Beautiful. Mine will look the same albeit with more doors!
Will be interested in what you think of it compared to the GTI as I am making the same move.

The cars are totally different. The way the engine moves you is different, the R is so planted and drama free it makes the GTi look like a wild dog that's not restrained properly. (One of the plus points of the GTI imho)
 
The R picks up speed well, it's not as quick as a remapped GTI through the mid range, but from a standstill its immense.

The looks department is always going to be personal preference but, my R has got more looks today than my GTI has in the last 2-3 weeks, which is what I wanted.

The car is outstanding, worth the wait!

Gorgeous motor Remlapeel! Funny thought - I'd love my GTI with four wheel drive so I could get all the power down!! It will never happen because of the R. Damn you R :grin:
