@Wide I can also recommend the Saris Bones rack. I used it on my Mk7 GTI and now M140. It's a holds three bikes a treat.

They might be a bit tricky with that fancy rear spoiler?? See the typical strap routing, here.

Yeah that's the one Wide. Always going to be a risk of damaging the car with any of these things. Another option is the suction type ones, see  https://en.seasucker.cc/products/seasucker-mini-bomber

Hey guys, R is now listed on the German website


https://www.volkswagen.de/de/modelle-und-konfigurator/golf-r.html?modelId=CD1RMT%24GRBFRBF%24GYORYOR%24GY5TY5T&modelYear=2021&modelVersion=4&exteriorId=F14+0Q0Q&interiorId=F56+++++OB&option=GPI8PI8&---=%7B%22modelle-und-konfigurator_golf-r_sectiongroup_2031315_featureappsection_co%22%3A%22%2F%2B%2F0%22%7D

Just been looking at the configurator. Well the standard wheels do seem to be a variation on Bergamo wheel.

Colours - as someone else mentioned here or on VWROC there are only 3 colours to choose from Lapiz, Black & White. Really is that right????

In Germany looks like you can choose several different wheel designs, wonder if UK will have that choice

Price is 48,000 Euros and I seem to remember the Audi S3 in Germany starting at this level which Audi UK have S3 at £37,900 so on basic (very basic) conversion maybe UK price around £38,000

Just relooked and basic S3 saloon is 47,169 Euros and in UK price is £38,465. So maybe higher end of £38k
Caveat: I appreciate that you can’t do a direct conversion due to different spec levels it’s just a rough conversion

2013 Polo BlueGT 3dr, Blue Silk
