Golf R Observations and Questions

And ugly as sin.

Damn, those R35 GTR's are quick!!

I've noticed on my R that my right-side headlight doesn't return to center after the car slows back down below a certain speed.

From what I have read, it seems the headlights should stay fixed until the car goes over a certain speed (around 30kmh), where the headlights then swivel left or right, or can widen for faster speeds.

What's happening on my car is that after coming back down below about 30kmh, the left headlight returns to centre and stays fixed, but the right headlight still points about 20 degrees off to the right. Only when I come to a complete stop do I then see the right headlight slowly move left and return to centre.

Anyone else notice this? It feels like a glitch to me...

Best viewed from rear and rear three quarters
IMHO

Which are probably the angles where you'll see it the most

And ugly as sin.

The ricer in me says that I'd take it over an M3/C63 in a heartbeat.

M3 Pure Edition for me thanks

M3 Pure Edition for me thanks

Group buy? Nice to see they didn't do the Porsche thing and charge more for less.

And R35 looks good if you ask me.

[adzy]

Yeah we might as well.. if anyone is interested in a group buy of PE M3's please PM Dave

Can you have the black rims in 18"? Or do you need to go 19" to get that option?

[Corey_R]

You have to have 19"


Or you could just get the 18's and have them painted (as some people have done). Keep in mind that the 19" option also includes the black Xenon holders.

Did not know that

WOW

[Corey_R]

Yep, compared to the 18" option which leaves them, imo, a more interesting chrome:

[littlejohn]

yeah... depends.. If you have the Candy White, the Black headlight interior finishes off the nice B&W theme that most are going for when then choose CW and Black 19" Taladegas

IMO, the chrome looks good with the blue

[Corey_R]

Yeah... there are plenty of Storm Troopers going around now though...

The black rims look cheap. Like someone has used a spray can of black gloss on them. Better to get the 19s in silver.

Hi Guys,

Anyone notice the fuel lid is different colour to the body in Black? The dealer said that's how it is..
