Golf R Observations and Questions

. Guess the wheels are just a bit too big for the car? At least it looks better!

Nothing like an inch to make it look better... lol

Haha yes the extra inch makes it look much better but I was referring to the look without the little black winglets lol

I received a boot liner, its not the best fit, but until you mentioned here wasn't really fussed. Only two corners are a bit crinkled, overall works well. That said I took it out for now, a bit tacky in plastic.

I just got my foam boot liner from my dealer today.

He ordered a Golf GTi liner and it fitted perfectly in my R.

Let me know if you wanted the part number.

It was actually the boot liner for a Mk 5 Golf 4 Motion. Sorry the guy at the dealership said this to me but on the label it said Mk 5 Golf 4 Motion.

Part Number: 1K0 061 161.

Cost was $120 in GST

Hi fellow Dubbers

I am seeking a car bra for my new R. I have rang Carbra (Vic) and Carbras (NSW) and they say they are waiting for someone with an R to visit them so they can measure. I live in western Qld and would really love to preserve the front of my R for future resale value (derrrr )

Does anybody know if I can purchase a very well fitting, non-paint scratching and removing car bra or front end protector from please?

Regards
Datman

Have you considered putting on Ventureshield instead of a carbra? Costs start at $650 for a basic kit that covers the same area on a car as the bra.

^^ Like someone wrote in the comments section, the Golf R is aimed at a different market, more of a grand tourer rather than a "R" racing breed as the badge suggests. Anyhow we all know how to transform it.
