Now for the real mods to begin.

Love that first shot. beautiful!

I think the R's alloys look about a million times better than the GTI's, which I have always thought look like they should be on a P Plater's modded Suzuki Swift GTi.

The R's look great. In fact, they would look great on any car ... yep, 8.5 out of 10 for the R's wheels.

I guess it's all down to personal taste

I have to agree with BBP though... If I was going to spend more on a car than I did on my GTI, I would probably go in a different direction to the R.
It's not that I don't like it... I just think that the things it does better than a GTI are not worth the extra expense to me (with the exception of AWD)

[REXman]

Hey guys, not my car, but this is the best looking GTI to me and had to share it. Its real (not photoshopped).



Its exactly what I would get.

Just beautiful.

Yep... that's awesome REXman. The Detroit's, a drop (maybe a bit too much for my liking), the Xenon lights, and most importantly, the aggressively beautiful lines of the 3 door

This is what I had on order (minus the drop). But cancelled for an R.. almost wish I hadn't the way that car looks!

And the R just doesnt look that great in black to me, as all the details like the air vents etc get lost in colour.

Where with the black GTI, you get the beautiful red lines etc.. Honeycomb grill.. and the Detroits which really look great for the size.

The 19's on the R almost dont look as big as the detroits.. its so wierd albeit a bit dissappointing.

When I decided to go an R, since my budget was getting blown out MORE than $10K extra.. I decided to go the 4 doors (I still sort of dont know why? Maybe more of a longer term Keeper?? )... even though I wish I went the 2 door as it looks better, especially in the R.

I reckon even more so than the GTI!! (i.e. the 4 Door GTI still looks great to me). The 4 doors lines on the R look a bit more off.. now Im just being difficult but just what i see.

What colour did you go with REXman and what colour wheels just out of interest ?

Hey,

I went with the 5DR, blue and silver wheels.

I was very much about to go the 3DR, Blue and Black wheels tbh but I am getting the car to keep for ages and thought.. well you know

Why did you choose DSG over Manual REXman?

Why did you choose DSG over Manual REXman?

I went the DSG after I test drove it. It's so much fun and makes an amazing group of sounds with up and down shifts. It's also very smooth and I just found out it has a higher top speed.

We'll see how I go using it though full time when the novelty wears off. It's the first non manual I have ever owned.

REXman,

Mate i am in exactly the same position as you, i mean the EXACT. I have changed my order from a GTI to an
R. Was going to go a 3 door in RB with Black 19's but have gone 5 door RB with Silver 19's as i also plan
on keeping the car for a while.

The only differnece is i have gone for the Manual 6sp over the DSG as i thought the novelty would wear off
after 6 months. Man was it is/was a tuff decision, the DSG is awesome. Have i made the correct decision ?????????? Guess we will find out in time. Good luck with the R mate

Excellent pics. I gather some of those taken are in the Adelaide Hills. Looks more north or east hills than south - perhaps Norton Summit way?

Great choice of colour - Adelaide get together is going to be rather a Carbon Steel day.

Perfect day for photos today, unfortunately painting house, so GTI too dirty to take advantage of the weather.

I'm guessing Eagle on the Hill
