Went to see the car today... and they have put the wrong estorils on.... they have put the diamond cut ones, not the black ones on.. gutted. Pick it up tomorrow and they said they will sort it.

You'll love it Adam. I've had the standard mk7.5 gti and the R and this mk8 knocks spots off them - its a completely different animal, more refined, super smooth gear changes and in Sport at just over 2k rpm in lower gears and 3.5k rpm in the higher gears you get the little pops and bangs.

Enjoy the car on the loaned wheels, maybe take some advantage of that once Launch Mode is active and then you'll have your replacement wheels and tyres fitted to not abuse as much.... lol

@Adam have you seen the R badging on the Estorils? Mine arrived at the dealer this morning and I noticed them when I went for a look.

and when the light catches them just right it looks like you have curbed your wheel. I do this at least once a week  :grin:

@WelshGolf glad it’s not just me. Mine has black ones and I thought there was a chip taken out of them. No idea why they put the r logo on them.

Collected it on the 5th. Detailed it myself yesterday, theres a few very minor imperfections so some small improvements to be made. Lovely car! Its probably everything i'd hoped for over my GTI Performance and more.
