My new Golf R
« on: July 30, 2017, 08:51:28 am »
Good to be back on the forum!

I have been lusting after a 3 door Golf R in lapis blue since they were launched. I nearly bought a red one last week but some shocking dealer performance lead me to this:









Spec is:

DSG
Panoramic sunroof
Pretoria 19" rims
Discover Nav
heated seats

Big thanks to GrayMK5GTI for all his advice over the last few weeks, and practically insisting I go for DSG. It's epic! Looking forward to learning all about my car before considering a few sensible mods!

Stunning  :happy2:

The Pretoria's have perfect proportions. Such a stunning wheel.

Enjoy it and get it on track with some vids :evilgrin:
