Nice one Sean G, looks really good in white.

I've ordered a blue one with akra, pano, dcc and reversing cam.  Akra is a ridiculous price, but I reckon it will be the sought after extra when re-selling, a bit like the buckets in the Ed40 Clubsport.

Had the Akra on my TCR last 3 years and they really look the part, set the back off completely, and super minimal to clean! unlike the hours keeping the R tips respectable, and they obviously sound great also (more so after a few 1000 miles), but they were standard on the TCR and cannot say would have paid for them on a stretch and considering many of us do stretch on options, its one for me that would keep the ££ in the bank on for what give vs cost

However, if there is no real eye on money and want the complete car, then they 100% complete the car.

The TCR out there for sale without the performance pack (DCC and 19") and Akra, are not any different in price over the standard 18" and standard exhaust options, so you not see the money back, but obviously for anyone who knows the car, the only one would want is the performance pack and Akra optioned model, so you will always sale a well specced car before a lesser so one, but you not necessarily get your full money back on those options.

@Hertsman - yes, with the TCR, the performance pack would be the option I would look for, but it would also have to be a later one with the akra.  The difference with the R20 is that the akra is an option, like the Ed40 buckets, so will be the sort after extra on used examples, thereby attracting a premium imho, although probably not as much as £3.5k. 

Buckets, a £1,350 option in the Ed40 make the car around £5k more expensive than a standard seat example, so we'll see.  At the end of the day I spec my cars for my enjoyment and not for the resale value, so what will be, will be!!

I wouldn't have placed the order without the hefty discount I got!

Have added options to my last 4 leases, and added the performance pack to the TCR, simply because going to be driving it for three years and the TCR (for me) was not complete without that option, so totally onside with that statement of speccing car for the enjoyment.

However my incoming 128Ti pretty much had all what considered the must have options as standard and only added £1000 worth, lowest ever!

You right on the ED40, the seats are highly desirable if that car you looking for, and that's monetarily reflected due to exclusivity whereas a sunroof is desirable but will not add the cost of one.

If was in market for R 20 years, would want the fully kitted Akra version, so be interesting in 5+ years to see where the prices are but back to that statement, as walk up to it and see them tips as sets the back off, is part of the ownership experience and joy, so its all about the driving the car once its bought not the money it might fetch down the line.

Somewhere in the region of 40% I’d hope  :laugh:
Just kidding, if you can afford it and want it then why the heck not. You only live once (probably).

I agree Exonian  :grin:, I saw a video last night comparing the last generation Type R and the new. Was glad I was sat down when they said the price of the new one!   :shocked:

Was tempted by new Civic Type-R as still manual transmission....   But NOT at that price around +/- £47K  I have to agree the Golf R 20 Year is looking like much better value for money...

But I would personally next time get either a Golf GTI if could still get a manual transmission and pocket the change or if not manual as i fear is still the case forever more, at a push i would get a regular Golf R or clubsport and pocket a bit less change.

I fear we may not see an end to these ridiculous hikes in car prices.    :shocked:
