Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

[jase1972]

Hamish at Elite Finish does rims. Not sure if he does his own or if he gets someone in to do them for him.
I also feel your pain. I've bumped my front left rim on my new Touareg a couple times now... You kick yourself each time you do it!!!

Yes ruined my day. Nothing worse then self inflicted scratches. Reverse parking while talking to some one on the mobile (hands free of course) is beyond my abilities these days.

I got a pretty good deal on my fully optioned manual R (I'll divulge after getting the car #paranoid ) but quite a bit miffed that I have to pay $99 for the slimline plates (NSW) when I've told them that I'm bringing over my own (Euro plates). At the very most, I'd expect to have to pay whatever plate reassignment fees are...

Asked the dealer and they said "they have to charge $99 for the plates irrespective of what plates I want on the car because that's how much RMS charges for them just to register a new car"... does that sound right? There's a separate "Registration fee" of $339

Is there a thread where people are posting what they paid for their Mk7 R's new? I'd be interested to hear what the best deals are but I am unable to locate this thread if it exists, especially keen to find out deals for cars with no options and manuals.

I paid $60k for mine fully optioned white DSG. What about you?

I call bull****. You shouldn't have to pay a fee for the plates if you're bringing your own. Give the RMS a call.

Has anyone here put a lip on the Golf R? I see their is a company on Facebook selling front lips (non carbon) for around $300. I don't mind the look on the white Golf R7

Yep the flow design lip I'm considering.

^Sekas I am aLso interested to see the results the pictures from the flow design web site don't show much detail or not what I would want at least...Same case with Revozport they only show a computer modified picture but not the actual car.

If you are on any of the facebook pages, like MK7 golf R owners group australia or mk7 golf R, you will see this car a lot(he has a build on another forum) and this is with the sideskirts fitted to which he said were great quality so im hoping the front is as good.

A quick foglight Q - I can't seem to see the fog lights come on. I have pulled the light knob out and a the foglight symbol comes on my dash but where exactly are the fog lights located? Am i missing something here? Any pics would be appreciated as I feel I might have an issue.

Thanks!
