Yep. Love the black on white theme.

I like the black rims but would have love the same with red line accent even more - just to give it some definition instead of just whole lot of black.

I think that on a Candy White GTI, if you did the roof with black paint, but with a red boarder around it, and then black wheels with red around the rim, that would look hella cool! It'd tie in awesome with the GTI signature grill! But red lines have no place on an R

Fair enough. I agree.

Hmnn, wonder what type of accent line would work on the R. I just think a whole lot of black at the wheels is missing something.

Roof wrap is an interesting look. Someone photoshop the rest of it

Now your talking...mint!

Last mod, you know you want to!

I just think a whole lot of black at the wheels is missing something.

I agree, and glad I changed. Love the wheels and everyone so far has commented at how great they look in 19's. Really fill the guard and suit the car well.

Noticed the black vinyl wrap on masev's new toy.. interested in people thoughts.. I have some ideas for mine which is ready to be driven out of the dealership Thursday (WOOT)

Damn, I was hoping someone wouldn't do it before I got mine. Yeah now I know how black vinyl looks, I might go further and try the matte carbonfibre vinyl for mine. If no good, hairdryer and fingernails, and tear it off..

I was just at my dealership, dropping off my greenslip to them for my Golf R that I'm picking up on Monday. There was a Blue 5 door R in the showroom. Then I remember REXman is picking his up today, so I checked the VIN number, and sure enough, it's REXman's. So I took some photos....

How mean do you think it'd be to post photos of someone elses' car before they'd even seen it themselves!? lol

That would be worth a perma-ban.

Good to see all you guys are finally picking up your cars after so long. The wait is probably the most exciting part.

But it'd be bloody funny (for everyone else)!

Wow, wasn’t expecting such a response!

Thanks for the positive feedback and was glad to be the R guineapig – I’m very happy with the results (even though the photo doesn’t do it justice) especially when you’ve left it in the sun for 10mins, it really brings out the gloss. To be honest, most people think it’s painted and not vinyl.

The vinyl cost me next to nothing when packaged with the Ventureshield, so was a no brainer really – I also have the option of pulling it all off, when and if I ever get tired of it.

I saw a sample of the carbon fibre wrap and it looked and felt just like the real thing! Pretty cool but wasn’t my cup of tea.

With the ever increasing amount of R’s on the road, I thought this would make it a little more unique than the rest.....for now.

Can’t wait to see some custom spray jobs down the track!

Yeah theres a pic of a mk6 tornado red on golfvi forums with the carbon fibre wrap but it looks cheap to me. I dont mind the gloss vinyl seeing it goes well with the 5 doors and wheels, not sure i would like it on a 3 door tho.

Edit: Found it

Who'd you get to do the Ventureshield and vinyl for you? Any feedback on them?
