    • Hi all!
      Ordered a Golf R on the 26/11/2010 (Wippels VW), was informed that it would be arriving late March, I'm hoping this is not being too optimistic. Have any of you been given a similar delivery time ?
      Golf R - White n stuff.

          • oh yeah!!

            it is 1:05 AM and i just got back from my epic trek from Canberra to the city of Sydney back out to my place. A whole 400 km's on my clock now.

            i haven't wiped the grin off my face. the only annoying gripe for me at the moment is the exhaust / wastegate sound when your foot comes off throttle.

            now, come tomorrow morning, time to give it another clean! i think i am going to be obsessed with my baby for the next couple of months - haha!

              Some say he was the Stig... all we know is that he drives a VW Transporter.

                Ventureshield would've stopped that

                • I know - but the car wasn't perfect when I got it (scratches on wheels, etc), shields are not the cheapest, and I'm planning to hang onto this car for a while, so it's not the end of the world.


                  I was watching the thrid episode of TopGear USA yesterday and one of the 'cheap-car-challenge' vehicles had a 'car-bra' - this showed a very noticeable colour difference between the nose of the car and the rest of it. Of course, the car would've been aroun 20 years old, but would most of the protections on offer these days end up similarly?

                  Maybe I should take some photos of my bonnet in case there are any others thinking they don't need to spend the extra money on protection

                      Nah, the old car bras were a leather or vinyl etc, mostly black.
                      3M PPF and Ventureshield stonegard are designed to be UV transparent, so paint discolours evenly between the uncovered and covered areas. So then it's up to you to protect the car from discolouring using waxes etc. Just make sure to not use yellow or dyed waxes which could discolour the film.

                            Yeah you are right Corey, just gotta find the right combo! Just stoked to finally have the car. Done 50k's in it so far today and whilst it's still tight, it's simply just a great ride, so well appointed and comfortable.

                            • I signed the contract and put money down today for my R. The dealer said a June/July delivery, but the contract says Aug/Sep just incase it's late. Either way I'm not too bothered...the longer the R takes to arrive, the longer I have with the 200SX before I have to depart with it (and I love my 200SX).

                              I had originally decided on white, but then today when it came to the crunch, I was undecided between the white with black wheels, or the blue with black wheels.

                              Coming into this thread now, and seeing pics of BezzyR's car... I'm glad I stuck with the white on black config.

                              • Recently delivered Golf?

                                With the forum being reloaded, has anyone gone outside to check whether their recently delivered Golf is still there?
