Hey all!

New to the forum and just returning to Oz from living overseas for the last decade (Kuala Lumpur and Houston Texas). Had a mk6 GTI in the US and have just put my name down for the Golf R special edition apparently due out before the end of the year Golf R Special Edition. Haven’t seen much about this release so wanted to start something so I can learn as much as possible about this and the R in general.

Carsales review: Access Denied

Hoping to hear about others ordering the car and get updates on when the cars are entering the country and being delivered to folks!

I’ve ordered the Lapiz blue, with sunroof option. This is the only option on the special edition so it’s basically spec’d out when there’s glass on the top Golf R Special Edition

Anyway, hope to read more about the mk7 R!

Ps, is the special edition classed as a mk7 or mk7.5? (So I know what to search for when it comes to nodding in the future).

Cheers!
