Decent spec, shame about the colour. I think silver looks so bland on the Golf  *waits to be ridiculed by the silver owners*

I'd hold out for the colour you want  :smiley:

Werent you looking for a DBP?

looks good but maybe still expensive for a older car with increased miles given the recent R32 price collapse
bargain hard , and check for usual stuff before commiting
plenty of choice out there so take your time esp as xmas is coming up

Looks a decent car Joe  :happy2:

I would only have one in DBP. Got to say with some black wheels and black front the silver one would look awesome 8).
He wants too much money for it IMO. I would say its worth around £14K, maybe a little more.

If im being brutally honest I think its to expensive to. I reckon for that money you could get a well specced lower mileage one. Take your time and keep looking  :happy2:

I knew you could get them in the USA in white,
Why would they not tell anyone about there availability over here. That may have swung it for me when deciding what to get, I certainly would have considered it a bit more.  :party:

DBP is traditional colour for all Mk .:R's and it's unique and will be more sought after. Tornado Red ones are rare.

I have to admit....Tornado Red on a R32 is unbelievably good!! Saw my first one the other week and was so impressed! Combined with the silver of the front grille (which i normally dont like), it just went together really really well!

That Red one was awesome, really looked well on the coilies and those wheels are porn! I think I would prefer the Recaro cloth interior over the leather as it is a lot more hardwearing. What is it with VW leather its sh*te  :ashamed:

May not be of any importance but the satnav in that R32 must of been retrofitted as it is missing the full height DIS, which the lack of would certainly annoy me.
