Gonna do it and order my R.
« on: 14 June 2017, 16:07 »
I'm gonna upgrade my edition 35 which is now four years old. I've loved it but in a position for the upgrade. Probably asked before but stuck on colour and what extras to have. Had leather in the last two cars but don't find it rewarding enough for the £ thinking sunroof this time. Thank you.

IMO, 3 door DSG in Lapiz and silver Prets with 90% tints, Dynaudio, Reversing Camera and DCC. :evil:

I bought my second hand R a couple of months ago. It had a sunroof which I was not looking for in particular. Have to say I love it. Have it open all the time, even at night. It's way better than having the window down as less drafty and can relly hear the car more as had mods. Would not want to be without now.

Pretoria alloys.

I'd go for Lapis Blue personally if I were ordering an R. I know some say it's too common on the R now, but for me no other colour comes close.

Thanks for that those are first choice wheels, I love the blue too but a customer I work for just received his in grey and it looked stunning with black prets😉

DSG
Dynaudio
Pretorias
Keyless 

Pretorias without a shadow of a doubt.  If you fancy a sunroof for a change, go for it, not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal.

Colour ??? Now Reflex Silver (which was my favorite colour for the R) has gone it's a bit of a lacking palette imo. I love Turmeric Yellow with Black Prets, black mirrors and 90% rear tints, if you are brave enough! I like the Indium Grey but its just too common on other VWs.  White Silver is a modern colour but doesn't know whether it's white or silver, lol.  Black can look lovely but a labour of love to maintain.

Thanks for advice people, the wheels defo prets mk5 was black lovely when polished nothing looks nicer but lots of downsides. Have white at the mo but easy peezy to clean but no reward. Saw a yellow today in the sunlight and looks gorgeous but for me not really a sports car colour. Think still favouring the Lapis blue🤔
