Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • QLD Tornado red R32

    Hi guys,

    My name is Peter I'm new here and the lucky owner of a 2008 MK V. 2 door Tornado red R32

    Tornado red, very rare in Australia... (so I believe)

    cheers,

    Awesome, can't say i've ever seen one in Australia, do you know how many VW brought over? Or was it a special order that you made when it was new?

      Sounds cool, I thought i saw a TR R32 once in Brisbane, may have been you.

      Agree TR & CW are a pretty limited run in AUS.

          The 6 of them came to Oz due to an ordering mistake.

                      Welcome mate, I'd love to have a look at it at an upcoming get together (whenever that is). I saw one of these, 3 door too, over a year ago when they first came out and couldn't believe it. They definitely look great in red.

                        I'm still happy with my choice of DBP, but agree the CW and TR are very rare and would be good for the novelty factor.

                        My advice would be to definitely paint the brake callipers, blue doesn't sit well at all (I'd go silver like the S3 or red).

                        Brushed chrome mirrors also looks good on TR R32's!

                              Looks very nice mate, i would go 3 dr too, but i agree with you on the camera, makes it look like Tornado Pink!!
                              Those mirror covers look good G-rig, i saw a black R32 for sale with some on also, looked nice, blends in well with the grille.
