If ya can't beat 'em...

It's you and Monkeyhanger that brainwashed me and the only way to get back at you both was to beat the queue!  :laugh: :laugh:

Haha, our evil plan worked (sort of)  :evil:

You have definitely had the last laugh, jumping the very, very long queue.  Still, we Brits are accustomed to queuing, just as well really, but even my legendary patience  :whistle:  is being well and truly tried this time.

Time will tell. I might get radio screen envy!
 :grin:

Good work!  Car looks immense!  :cool:  Looking foward to your write up after you've done a few miles in it!


Thanks!
Picked it up last Friday and it's been sat in the garage ever since. Not had chance to use it.  :sad:

I see a white R every day on my way to work, and must admit it looks great  :cool:

Mr Ex, how have you resisted driving it so far?  :shocked:  Or are you keeping it tucked away from the building dust at Chez Ex  :whistle:

Thanks, me too! I like the black, white and bits of shiny theme.
I do miss the red GTI accents and wish the R had some exterior VW Motorsport blue going on but hey ho, electric Golfs are the future I guess  :sad:

Yes, it is basically just that Mme B, plus the fact I've been a bit busy with family stuff over the weekend. No rest for the wicked! It means when I do get to drive it I shall have been rattling about in a 17 year old GTI/mobile skip for a while so it'll feel extra special!

The "R" without all the stripes and red "jewellery" is so much more refined!

At the end of the day you know what engine sits under that bonnet and you know what badge sits on your tailgate!

Its an "R" go enjoy it! :smiley:

True.
Very true.
I like the white, black and shiny theme going on but miss the little red details. I'm sentimental!

Thanks Mr W.
I'd seen your posts with the badge skins and Neil's and quite like them.

I quite like those blue R skins.  As long as it's kept to small details it could be a good look.  Mind you can't beat the monochrome theme.  Any intentions to wrap the roof gloss black Mr Ex?  One of my favourite looks on pure white GTI/GTD/R's, along with gloss black mirror caps and dark grey or black wheels  :cool:

Just something for you to mull over.....  :whistle:

I love the look of a black wrapped roof but it's not something I'd do personally.
The mirrors I've been thinking about but I'll leave it a while until i'm getting bored!

Today I managed to fit some RGM sill protectors. Three went on perfectly and the third didn't go so well! Thankfully it was a rear door sill so not seen so often. When that 3M tape hits the paintwork it really grabs and if you're a couple mm out it punishes you!

And I've even managed a quick run out to pick my son up from work. All 30mph limit stuff in heavy traffic and all I can say is the DTE pedal box is earning its stripes again.

The skins if you get the colour right are nice and subtle, i kid myseld it makes the R look more discreet but then think the drils and blue give the game away
