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,

  • Cars are resprayed all the time and can be of excellent quality if you do your research and choose a great panel beater. But like you said it can be expensive, especially if you gut the vehicle to ensure everything is painted properly.

    Just depends on how unique you want your R to be. I would go with white if you do decide to respray.

    Speaking of which, if I were to go down that path I am not sure with what respray color I would go with.

      That way you can reverse it back to factory paint if you get sick of it/want to sell.
      +1 for vinyl wrap.

      See Alex at Response Graphics (think that's his name, he used to be on the MINI2 forums back in the day). For extra bonus he is doing a carbon vinyl wrap on Motor Magazine's long term Evo X.

            Speaking of Manuals .. I have an unsold 3door R in Candy white with MDI cloth seats. Just arrive today on a truck if anybody is looking around for one and does not want to wait? Looks great.

                • I may have to check with my dealer and see if they are getting any of the 18 scheduled to come in that are unsold and close to my ordered spec, would so love to get hold of one sooner rather than later.

                        So my calculator says that the RRP Driveaway price for the car in the spec they mention should be $67,929.20 - yet they are asking over $2k more than that at $69,990 - and that's with 299km on it. There's something wrong here, or incorrect with the ad...

                            Ha, that beast looks familiar

                            And yes, probably priced higher than it should be. Mine's same spec + sunroof, Dynaudio and elec drivers seat, but I paid 5 grand less.

                                Yeah thats like a 9 GRAND SWING!!

                                And its got 300 clicks! I personally would take that as a demonstrator. But maybe cause I don't buy that many expensive cars (compared to some people) Im just a bit fussy. But thats more than round the block.
