Freshly ceramic coated Ind Gray 7.5

Really impressed with my 2 month old motor after getting it ceramic coated at Detail NI in Newtownards (Northern Ireland). Ryan used Drexler ceramic, looks very wet and slick! The wheels especially will hopefully be well protected. -

Trying to get myself insured on a Golf R

Get a cheap car and gain experience in that. Then when you have 2-3 years of driving experience (claim free), then consider an R. 17 year old + 3 months experience + 300bhp will not end well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

Leaving the Fold after 6 years.
BlackGolfR and 8 others reacted to noggin for a post in a topic
The day has come when I've agreed to let my R go on to pastures new. It's been a brilliant car to own and drive. It hasn't had a fault from new and always been reliable. It's coming up to 30k miles and still hasn't lost it's 'new' feeling. I promised myself a Porsche for my 60th birthday in October and my 25 years anniversary of being off the booze! I've gone for a 2014 Cayman S, in silver like the R. I'm glad to be back to a six pot but I don't think the Cayman will feel as fast as the R - it has more BHP but loads less torque. It has 20in Carrera wheels, Bose stereo, PDK, Sport Chrono, 10k miles on the clock and sports exhaust. I should have it on the drive next week. Farewell R owners -you've been a good bunch to hang around with -
9 pointsPicked mine up today. Put a few miles on her on the way home getting used to the drive.

7 pointsWell after selling my clubsport s due to practicality, I was lucky enough to stubble across this beauty, and I must say I love it. Just deciding on what mods to start with to give the car more power, but over all I'm chuffed

I know white isn't the most rewarding colour to maintain, however, I have to say imho it's a colour that really suits the Golf...... Freshly washed and polished, ready to catch another one million bugs....... -
7 pointsHopefully I did my R justice. Trying to find a bit of colour but this weather is cooking every bit of green Space we have to Brown at the moment! Bojam

My DSG Lapiz R one year on.

The last round of mods has been Maxton side skirts/ rear spats and roof spoiler and some Racingline side decals. Not sure what will be next I think either the Racingline shocks or coilovers and a proper remap. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk -

Results of a 3 stage machine detail
Mainframe and 4 others reacted to Boj27 for a post in a topic
Hi all, I had my r detailed professionally when it was brand new 18 months ago with cquartz UK edition. Needless to say it wasn’t great and lasted maybe 6 months before the effects started to wear off. I’ve also had maxprotect applied on a previous car and wasn’t too impressed with that either. This time I opted for the whole hog. Gtechniq Crystal serum ultra + exo 4 top coat. The exo 4 is supposedly good for 2 years and the serum 9 years....let’s see if it stands the test of time! The only things I should need to worry about is a good maintenance wash technique which I already believe to have! Find photos attached! -

Doesn’t mater how ‘hard’ or well trained someone is, they need to be prepared and awake to be able to do anything. Chuck Norris on the other hand, would visit the thieves at their homes the night before they tried to steal his R. Because he’s Chuck Norris.... -

I don't understand people who take keys upstairs or hide them somewhere. If someone wants to break in for my car i'd rather them find the keys as quick as possible and get out. No car is worth risking your own life or anyones life. Metal can be replaced. -

No one else has mentioned, so I will bite. at 17 and 3 months driving ability on public roads, insuring something like a Golf R is just plain stupid. by simply driving around in something basic for 12 months you can save a fair bit of cash and actually learn to drive (as at the moment you can't). if you have an accident at 17 while driving a Golf R you stand the real chance of buggering up insurance premiums so much you may not get insurance from most companies.. also it is incredibly easy to go over the limit in an R (when compared to 110bhp types), it also increases your chances of getting points. also get used to being stopped by the police. personally I simply would not bother it's just a complete waste of cash covering insurance. however, it's a free world (apparently). -

What do you dislike about your R?
mlester187 and 4 others reacted to IrishR32 for a post in a topic
For me its the flat area of the bumper at the tailgate. Water just pools there and leaves dirty marks, doesn't help my my R is white.

Indeed but I doubt that's what it will look like eventually. At least car manufacturers have well and truly moved away from that Godawful era where every car had bug eyes. -
I stand by original comment. I do wonder why people find roundabouts hard. when two lanes are entering a roundabout and two are leaving, I wonder why the road designers spent that extra cash, quite possibly to keep traffic flowing. imagine rush hour traffic if everyone moved to the left hand lane from the right hand lane before the roundabout, then everyone moved back on exiting...

Mine was intermittent - a lot worse in the cold weather however. First noticed it on my car about 16k miles and I kept the car until it had done just over 31k. Only happened in the higher gears which surprised me as thought it would be worst in 1st and 2nd but guess torque could be limited in the lower gears. -
It's already started in part, hybrid and electric vehicles was one of key reasons that the £40k tax came in. i think until the big car companies - Ford, VW etc start producing proper affordable hybrid or full EV's, then those types of car will be for people with a fair bit of cash. the government are aware and will definitely make sure they receive their chunk of flesh.

Don’t get me wrong - im not rich enough to go all out crazy putting a stage 3 on my brand new R. And even if i am rich enough, I wouldn’t do a stage 3 anyway because I think the outlay in $ doesn’t justify the performance gains. A stage 3 R is not an R anymore. My point is that for minimal $, a stage 2 R is just perfect. You don’t lose that beautiful balance of power and control and the daily drive-ability of it. And we all know that the R can pretty much handle a stage 2 without stress. It’s an educated gamble. If you are thinking of not modding your R because the mk8 is just around the corner - then you will never mod your car. You will endlessly be waiting for the next new model to arrive while your life just wastes away..... Remember that even if you do want to mod your mk8 R straight away, you can’t. You will still have to wait a good 6 months or 1 yr for the aftermarket companies to develop and test their products. And by then, by your logic - the mk8.5 is just around the corner.....
