VR6 features...

I think that we have pretty much thought of everything. Although my 94 vr6 had cruise control must have been an option when thee car was bought.

For anyone who's confused about how to tell one VR6 from another, I'm about to add to it.

standard front indicators were yellow
- no not on early 1994 shipment. They were a white/clear with amber lense underneath

sunroof was factory option -
I've never seen one - plenty of factory-like Hollandias, though

only other option was for leather and recaros
- sports seats - once made for Volkswagen by Recaro, but perhaps no longer - were standard on VR6 from 94 on.

factory front lip was the same as a GL and any other golf mk3 in OZ
- No, again the first batch of 1994 cars had a different, deeper spoiler, the same as the GTI 16v in Europe. I have shots of two brand-new VR6s in Lennocks showroom taken in about March 1994 with these.

Just to add my 2 cents worth. I had a colour concept and I was told that they brought in 25 or maybe 50 of each of the 4 colours, yellow, green, red and blue. The colour concepts had colour coded leather seats that were much more padded than the stndard seats and were the duck's nuts to sit in. I believe that the first year VR6's (1994??) had the deeper spoiler here in Oz but after that they reverted to the same as the GL.

I also had a June 97 build VR6. It had a better engine management than the earlier models and also had slightly larger (288mm) front brake rotors. I would reccommend the later model if you can afford it. It seemed to have more grunt (although claim was identical power and torque) and also was nicer to drive with slightly better fuel consumption.

As far as I am aware they all had cruise and MFA.

Yeah the colour concepts have badass seats. My mate has a black one with black leather. The side of the recaro comes up heaps, real bucket. I think the colours were red, black, yellow, green and blue. I heard 200 of em in total.

Just like the TDI Mk3 that came to Australia only 200 ever bought to OZ.
