Are you getting CW Dave? That's so hot right now

I loved the DBP on my R32 but would still get dusty as quick as black.

Meh... from a distance, CW could be a 77TDI...
... Blue is always an R

From a distance a Golf could be a Corolla, how far away do you look at cars anyway?

Even though I am not fond of the looks of the MK6, I have to say that the CW R looks pretty hot.

I've test driven the Blue version of the R in Sg and thought it looked ordinary. For some reason, CW on the MK6 makes it looks like a different (and better looking) car.

Just my 2 cents.

CW would be awesome on the R.
Makes it look bigger and will surprise people even more.
It also shows each intricate detail of the car whereas black tends to hide the lines/details.

DBP would be the best colour imho.
However i may be biassed.

If I was going a CW R, I'd option the black rims for sure - then there's no mistaking it, and it looks properly tough! But DBP is the signature R colour (and is a fantastic colour at that), and I doubt I could go past it.

My favourite colour is blue. I drove blue cars for 8 years before purchasing a VW, and since then I've had a red Golf and a black Polo, neither colour I really wanted... so I'll be happy to get back to blue

I haven't seen rising blue in the flesh bit think I like DBP much more.. Looks amazing in the sun after a detail, and ha more sparkle and not as flat.

It's all personal preference and opinions anyway and shouldn't be stated as fact which is better.

Something for propospective Golf R owners that have to settle for 19" wheels with no Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC). The Golf R being too tough riding was a concern for me, esp with 20% stiffer springs than the MK6 GTI.

The R didn't feel "tough riding" to me when I tested it and this was with 4 other people in it. If anything, it felt less jarring than my Pirelli in Sport mode. In Comfort mode, the ride was like my GT - quite plush.
