Most people here are talking about golfs , but since it's a MKVI thread, can I please share my delight - picked-up my MKVI polo tsi this morning. ... oh so nice!

Well I just had a f@cking awesome day today. Wangara vw had a 3dr DSG UG R with leather acc 19"blacks rvc bt & mdi in stock, so I went out for a look as my ordered car is a 3 door and I have never actually seen one in the flesh. Had a look and after a short chat to Dermot I cancelled my existing contract (kudos to the jason at dvg melville for being understanding) and now get to pick up my R on Wednesday!!! Not a bad price too at $59k flat with 12 months rego

Actually Baska, you have a MKV Polo!!!
Except they're not called that obviously.
MKI: Typ 86, 1975–81
MKII: Typ 86C, 1981–94
MKIII: Typ 6N, 1994–2002
MKIV: Typ 9N, 2002–05
MKIV facelift: Typ 9N3, 2005–09
MKV: Typ 6R, 2009–

So the "6R" doesn't actually mean sixth generation

Congrats on collecting your car. I drove my mother's (then) 1 week old 77TSI two weeks ago. They're fantastic

Took the new R up to West Head in the sunshine yesterday for some straights and some twistys. This car is a joke, whatever I threw at it corners wise it was just rooted to the ground and the exhaust was amost saying, 'That all you got Langers'

Then found a long stretch of tarmac, turned off ESP , lipped it into Sport and you guessed it Launched. Unbelievable feeling, my god the way it flicks up to 5th in like 4 seconds, and the exhaust! Pins you into your seat. Incredible fun.....

What a bloody laugh.......

Currently getting Opticoated

You didn't happen to drive down Queen St Mosman today did you Langers?

Hello fellow MKVI R owners or those having an interest.
I am loving the car, most impressive is the tech in the car, and overall driving experience.
I have a technical question.... I have managed to get a gutter scrape under the front bar and am sure will get more....I do intend fixing it however.
My question is " How do I remove the front bar??" I have taken one off my evo 9 and WRX front bars and several others but was wondering where the major fixing points are located on the golf. Tried to find a schematic on the web but no luck so far.
I thought there may be some on this site that have the experience to guide me in the right direction.
Have thought of going in to VW parts and asking for a copy of the schematic but will try here first.
Any help muchly appreciated.
Cheers.
