Nice work. I was very close to getting white. You'll enjoy it for sure!

Does the white get dirty easily?

armthehomeless if you are thinking of white, here is a photo of my white R. I love white as it is timeless



DoggieHowser, when I first purchased a white car I had the the general impression that it is easy to clean and looks cleaner when it is dirty. Take it from me as it is the other way round. To me it looks dirtier when you get water sprays on the car and when you wash your car you can see every single spec of tar/dirt on the car which you won't on darker colour cars. Grey is best colour for hiding dirt.

Spotted a red S3 sedan in the Castle Hill/Dural area this morning. Looked fantastic. Didn't think they were available yet. Press car maybe?

Canberra have their demo in so it was probably a test drive or a lucky new owner.

Quick question about Mirrors on the R.

Do they automatically fold in and do they have lights on the bottom to illuminate the door area at night?

Saw these two Golf Rs being unloaded on a side street for South Yarra VW (VIC).

That's my limestone. Picking it up on Thursday from south Yarra.

I'm all set for next Wednesday delivery. Golf R white - tints all round.

Here are some Pics.

For all of you thinking about the cloth interior. Definitely worth considering. The grey inserts at the sides of the seats are a leather / suede material that keeps you in the seat. Very comfortable. The leather is not worth $3150.

I think a sixty grand car isn't finished without leather, but I'd agree the Vienna is crap at over three grand.

No to both.

Unfortunately not in Australia to both questions.

Just got my opticoat-pro done by Frank from Definitive Car Detailing @ Lane Cove - great set up and good to see that he was providing free workshops to a few car enthusiasts in the morning. He's also quite a photographer and took some awesome shots of the car post-coating, here's a teaser (I'll post the rest on the picture thread).

Also had tinting done by Rob from Hunters Hill Window Tinting @ North Ryde - awesome guy to chat with and he's done heaps of Mk7 Golfs but this is apparently his first R, and did a fantastic job on the triangle.

Note that the pictures are post-coat but pre-tinting. I'll get some shots of the tint when the sun comes out tomorrow.

Stock tyres on Aussie delivered R?

Quick question,
Might have missed it somewhere but what are the stock tyres delivered on Aussie R's?
