So, calling dealers (in Melbourne) about the 2019 Golf R Special Edition, one told me today that the MY2020 R’s won’t come in Lapiz blue, and that they’re being replaced with a different blue. I mentioned that’d be weird because Lapiz seems, at least to me, to be the R signature colour. But he reconfirmed. Anyone else heard this?

I wouldn't be surprised - Rising Blue was the hero color for the Mk6, and Deep Blue Pearl was the hero for Mk5 (a proxy for current day Lapiz).
A return to a lighter shade would be a positive in my eyes, I much preferred RB over LB; but everyone will have their own thoughts.

Hmmmm, I didn’t know that. I always assumed the blue in my periphery was Lapiz. TIL!

About the first thing I noticed in our "R" engine compartment was there is no radiant-heat insulation protecting wiring that runs across the top of the firewall which is above and close to the turbo. I have since noticed a U.K. you tube review of an R and it had insulation there. Have I been short-changed or is it not necessary or is our wiring super heat resistant?

Got my new toy last Thursday. Meet my Golf R Special Edition. It was having a bit of fun up around Healesville on Saturday. I have to say that coming from an E46 M3, the Golf R Special Edition is one beautifully sorted car.
