Golf R Observations and Questions

[dave_r]

I also wacked up some pics from my track day - http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f112...tml#post675195

They show a bit of roll at turns 4 and 9 with DCC set to sport but it looks a lot worse in the photos than it felt in the car

If you think that's bad I'd hate to see photos of mine yesterday. Felt like I was in a boat with the body roll I was getting at some stages. Probably didn't help that we were going through corners at least double the advisory signs on the Putty. Time for some front and rear sway bars I think.

My park sensors also crapped themselves yesterday. The RVC pops out when I hit reverse but there is no image on the screen and the beep is a much higher pitch and is constant like you're about to run into something if you move a cm. Booked in for a check on Thursday.

My observation is that despite your stupid number plate antics, you both have great taste in colour

My observation is you both have poor color tastes. White is much better

Nice pic from the greek!

A few guys have done that, including Prodigy. From memory, he bought a replacement badge and then spray painted it. The benefit of that is though, it's shiney, and matches the grill nicely:





Anyways.... my observation would be that your numberplate is way big and doesn't match the holder... you should do something about that

I have painted my old M5's grills, painting over chrome stuff never really holds up. Stone chips rape the **** out of it. That being said I can remove the wrap when I don't want it black anymore

Don't worry number plate holder is on the cards, I have just been so busy

I have put 4800 km on her now.. Three and a half weeks! wooo! bring on the next track day!

White is not a colour.. it is but the canvass on which to put one

You are right, white is not a colour. It is a shade.

Hehehe... my observation if that Fab_R didn't pay attention in art class

SilvrFoxX and worx did though, cause they beat me to it

What a lovely morning it is to own a car that is a colour

Why do people paint or change the VW emblem to a black one? And why debadge the car too in some cases?

I personally prefer them chromed..provides a bit of contrast to the grill.

I love them in black, better than attention being drawn to a badge and in gloss it looks factory

[Corey_R]

Why do people buy boring white & silver cars?

Eye of the beholder and all that...

I was always average in art class. Never really got much painting done.

And it shows now with my blank canvas lol

True some what, But on the out side of the Golf it is the only chrome part, so really it is out of place.

Don't worry, your shade car is very sexy.
