Hey all,

One of the kids has somehow popped the spring holding the front passenger ceiling grab handle from the Wolfsburg R wagon. The grab handle now just sits hanging down. I can't figure out...

So the Mrs managed to scratch one of the wheels on my Wolfie R wagon. Only about half inch scratch but annoying :/ yes the rim is dirty it only happened yesterday and I haven't had time to clean...

Ordered a Lapiz blue Wolfsburg R wagon a few weeks back. Build date early Nov, delivery in Jan or Feb 2016. Cmoooon! :banana:

Hehehe does look pretty cool. To be honest tho I hardly ever used my sunroof in my R hatch and it used to piss me off anyway when the sun was shining on my head so it was closed most of the time....

Yeah fair enough I neglected to notice that lol. So the seats are more like this then?

Can't wait till mine comes in! Long wait tho :/

Nice work man. I just signed a contract on a blue Wolfsberg R wagon!

So stoked as apparently they are as rare as hen's teeth in that colour. Originally the dealer the lease company put me through...

Ok cheers yeah I have seen that before. Good video. Lol at his reference to the umbrella in the back! I was wanting to see the leather seats etc and actual Wolfsburg additions but I guess that will...

Yeah I think I'll be putting in an order now for the Wolfsburg R wagon and not going to worry about waiting to see if the standard R wagon becomes available. I can't seem to find any interior...

Yeah I'm checking now with NLC about ordering . Still haven't got an answer from VW Australia yet though on if the standard R wagon will be available. Stuff like this was a little confusing not...

Hey all,

Long time since I posted. The 5 year lease on our 2010 Golf R (man I love that car! ) is ending in Jan 2016 and I've managed to talk the Mrs out of downgrading to a Mazda CX5 and getting...

Still haven't got around to getting this fixed yet. Having trouble getting the material even from Jpm who have been really slow to respond. Even Blackmans who are going to do the repair for me is not...

Cheers yeah after a bit more digging around I found this R brochure pdf from 2010 that states the side bolsters are 'Alcantara'

I'm going to ask him for a quote on this trim.
...

Ok so got this reply from JPM Coachworks. No idea if the seat grey is Alcantara tho

"Hi,

That's a tough one. We have access to a variety of OEM materials but they are not labeled for the car...

Cheers thanks for the replies guys, one way or another I need to get this fixed before it gets worse :/ Especially if I'm gonna sell and upgrade to the R wagon in a years time (as long as it gets...

Yeah I think it caught on a jacket zipper when I was getting in or the Mrs was one day and ripped it. Then we took too long to get around to it being our main car and it deteriorated to what it is...

Hey all,

Its been a long time since I posted in here. After almost 4 years of happy Golf R motoring my 2010 Golf R has incurred a ripped drivers seat which has got progressively worse. Yeah should...

Hahha punch off the line, well thats where an electric car comes into the equation :) This is sure to raise a few eyebrows and debate esp amongst the car purists and hard core VW fans. Would...

Yeah I am hesitant to use launch control too much to preserve the DSG box. How much punishment can it take using LC? SPorts mode is fun but its always revving its tits off which can get tiresome esp...

CHeers, yeah I know DSG is quicker but manual shifting the DSG using the stick (IE push it across to the left and then up or down) vs the DSG just in sports mode which is quicker. the sports mode...

Well its been a looong time since I posted in here. I have a 2010 R with DSG auto. Anyway I was on the way back from the supermarket and got sucked into a traffic light GP vs a Subaru B4. Yeah yeah...

Cheers guys. Will look into those.

Hey guys,

Long time since i posted here. Have had a 2010 Golf R since Jan 2011 which has clocked up just over 30k without any issues *touch wood*. However the Mrs has scratched a couple of the...

Yeah I think so. That was some great racing back then with all the different classes mixed up. Thats like a video game that start lol.

Hey all,

Was sorting some old racing videos I had on VHS and found this footage. Uploaded it before. Check this R33 GTR off the line at Calder in the 1999 GTP series. Awesome! lol

R33 GTR power...

Well I have been spoilt the last few days. Got to drive the R along the Great Ocean Road in Vic a few times, taking the kids down to stay with some friends in Lorne. So after dropping them off the...
