Golf R Observations and Questions

Yep, compared to the 18" option which leaves them, imo, a more interesting chrome:

yeah... depends.. If you have the Candy White, the Black headlight interior finishes off the nice B&W theme that most are going for when then choose CW and Black 19" Taladegas

IMO, the chrome looks good with the blue

[Corey_R]

Yeah... there are plenty of Storm Troopers going around now though...

Can you have the black rims in 18"? Or do you need to go 19" to get that option?

The black rims look cheap. Like someone has used a spray can of black gloss on them. Better to get the 19s in silver.

Hi Guys,

Anyone notice the fuel lid is different colour to the body in Black? The dealer said that's how it is..

Another reason not to get Black.... (Willy)

In many cars, due to the different materials between the main body panels, and bumpers and other attachments, such as the fuel cap, you can get slight colour differences. Whilst not all black Golf's will show the difference some do. Or maybe it's just that some people are more sensitive to the differences than others... bit of both maybe.

Black is unique to the R Another point of distinction!

Yeh I noticed it slightly with my old 200SX in brilliant blue (blue whore lol), at certain angles you could see a slight difference. Can't say I notice anything on my R though, the VW paint finish is quite a bit better IMO

Dan, that sig is amusing and disturbing at the same time hehe
