Golf R Specifications and Prices

[ganis5]

Hey guys, just got off the phone with Phil Fairhall from Gerald Slaven Volkswagen, Belconnen, ACT. Just put down a deposit on the Grey 3dr, DSG Recaro's with ACC. Gave me a killer deal on the car, anyone interested in getting a good deal on an R straight away give him a call. Gave me an excellent deal, and when I say excellent. Blew away the discount that I received in Sydney. So happy, finally found a 3dr. Now all I have to decide if I want euro or premium plates and what colour. I'm leaning towards the white euro's.

Anything near 5% or above on ordered cars is great. Congrats ganis5.

As much as I like that combination above in white on the R, I cant help but feel it does look quite bland compared with the GTI.

ps. The white / black wheels combo would most likely be my choice if I had an R on order.

That looks awesome, can't wait for mine now dammit!

See your photo makes me think even more how much better the R looks than the GTI, each to their own hey. (I realllllly hate the GTI wheels)

Mate I didn't get an order the car is in stock. One of the only 3drs I could find in the country. Its the one in White James' photos. WHITE JAMES: Suspension & Wheel Reviews - Page 13 - VW GTI Forum / VW Rabbit Forum / VW R32 Forum / VW Golf Forum - Golfmkv.com
The grey one next to the GTI, Any idea on plates?

[elisiX]

That's awesome news. Congrats once again.

That grey looks incredible - in fact, better than the white!

any white 3 or 5 doors with 19 inch black rims in stock anywhere bueller?

[ganis5]

Thanks. elisiX what plates do you have on your Gti. I know you can't show me exactly, but how do they look. I need to notify him by this afternoon. I'm leaning towards the white euros.

If you go anything other than the original white/blue fullsized Euro plate in NSW, it won't fit the front plate holder properly.
Also, they've changed the retention places on the R's holder, so you can't do the "plug trick" like you could on the GTI (well you can, but you'll have 2 vertically in line plugs on each side of the plate... can't really disguise that as park sensors!)

I went with black Euro's.

Being black, they blend in well even though the front plate is smaller than on the white Euro (ie it wont fill the plastic frame).

The white is too big and ugly IMO. Go the black Euro - on the grey it'll be awesome.

I'll PM you a picture of mine.
