Indium Grey looks great on the R Estate. Keeps its all pretty discrete

Thanks for the reply. Leaning more towards white as I actually like it in white and been looking at all the colours for last hour.

I’m looking now, does car play come as standard now? Cant find it on the Configurator, only something called car-net-app-connect in the standard specification

Some options aren't charged fully on the monthly price as they actually increase the residual value such as metallic paint so worth checking.

Followed an R Estate tonight - although they've now fitted LED rear lights, they not got the same ones as the Mk7.5 GTI/GTD/R hatchback so no sweeping indicators. Assume they are a completely different fitment? Looked OK but didn't look particularly exciting. Don't think the Golf Estate is much to look at compared to some sporting estates.

Having had a 3, 5 and wagon in R format I actually prefer the estate and forgive it some of the rear end details it may miss, why do I like, its a bit more fun to drive as friskier, you don't see 20 everyday, its a real Q car and it does not really have any competition

I went for white on mine which looks great after 18 months, loved the lapiz but for me its very orange peely and was hard to look after

I think mine was about £200 a month and an absolute bargain, but it is purely rental white goods so is the hard driven daily which the tyres and front pads are indicating

Having owned an R i'd only ever rent one, mines done 25K now and only issues have been a stuck wheel bolt and an issue with the 12v

Did it not occur to you that the driver of that car might not like having his reg on a public forum?

It's clearly visible on the public road.

Not really the same thing though is it? Do you show your number plate in photos?

Yes. I don't see the problem with it.

Because it is quite easy to get the registered keeps address from the reg. It is well know that scum go through forums to get reg numbers to steel cars to order.

Yes. I don't see the problem with it.
