RED Golf R in OZ

[bwen]

Looks great

[Pepe]

Looks okay... I'd still go RB over that though

And if I was going to the trouble of getting a colour you can't get here, I'd so go Viper Green

[VW Central]

I'd seriously consider making love to that vehicle.

That actually looks really good.
and it wouldn't need any mods cos everyone knows that red cars go faster

It looks pretty basic spec.

5 dr, manual
19's

No roof
No Sat Nav
No leather / recaros / electric seat adjustment

Obviously from those photos, we can't tell whether or not it has:
DCC
MDI
Dynaudio
Bluetooth
RVC

This Red R is at Barloword fivedock where I ordered my RB R 2 weeks ago.
I saw this one in person when I went to see my dealer the other day.

I can confirm that it has Dynaudio. I think it also has a RVC but no ACC from my memory.
Not so sure about MDI, Bluetooth though as I just sat it in for like 20 secs while I was waiting for my dealer to show up.
According to the dealer, this car was a special order placed by one of his customers but the finance didn't go through. That is why it is sitting there waiting for a lucky owner.
Actually, I quite liked the colour.
I might have picked this one up if it had all the options I ticked for mine.

question : does this mean that we can ask dealers if we can order the Golf R in red now even though its not an "official" colour released here?

It came in error claims the OP but on golfmk6 forums in the R thread, the guy who ordered it and cancelled it basically said he ordered it because he requested? So is it just a matter of asking the dealer whether we can get the R in a different colour not released here? tornado red, a navy blue colour are 2 colours for the R not released in Australia (off the top of my head)

Agreed, as its coming all the way from Ze Germans we should be able to order a UK colour, right?

Quite possibly - however, Volkswagen Group Australia would have to accept the order.

The other thing is, that the Golf R doesn't have the 40 odd colours that the Golf GTI does. Even in Germany the only colours are:
Candy White
Tornado Red
Reflex Silver Metallic
Rising Blue Metallic
Shadow Blue Metallic
United Grey Metallic
Blue Graphite Pearl Effect
Deep Black Pearl Effect

So it's just the two more blues and the red, not any greens, purples, pinks, yellows, additional blues, reds, greys, etc that the GTI has.

I went to the dealership at 5pm on Sat and the Red R was sold already! When I inquired about the delivery time if I order a RB Manual on the day, they said Nov/Dec, how did you score a July delivery ?
