Very nice Jamie, hopefully see you around in York sometime, I'll give you a headlight flash if I pass you (look out for a red 7.5 with black VWR wheels and black mirrors!)

Yup, exactly right!

It was the first one that CLP Automotive has mapped so were keen to see the results. APR have said that the 7-speed box can handle more torque than the 6 speed one which is why their low torque file came up so high, just looking forward to them releasing a DSG tune so I can go with the high torque map, god knows how fast it will feel then!

No not as yet, I don't have a VBox or anything like that, but I'm tempted to go to York Raceway next Monday to do a 1/4 mile run. Never done anything like it before though so I think I'd be bricking it if I went!

Bit of an update, I had an APR stage 1 tune done at CLP Automotive in Sheffield last week, mine was the first 7.5 R that they'd had in for the tune, and apparently APR had just released a brand new file that week so they were excited to see the results. Here's the post on their Facebook page - It made 373 BHP and nearly 400 lb/ft of torque, which was a bit surprising considering this was supposed to be the 'low torque' version of the APR map! with the car making 320bhp stock, I can only think that the CLP rollers is slightly on the generous side. The car feels amazing now, so so much power and overtaking other cars makes them look like they're standing still, I'm sure it's the same for the pre-facelift cars too but I'm just over the moon with it now.

It's with a Nikon D750 and a Sigma Art 50mm f1.4 lens, but it helps that I'm a pro photographer I guess!

Been out for a drive today and took my camera, really great reading all the comments so far!

Literally the only other 7.5 R in red that I've seen a photo of!

I've had this now for 2 weeks and it's an absolute beauty! This is my third mk7 R (technically it's still a mk7), and my first DSG for a few years. It's my 6th Golf in 7 years so I've gone from a mk5 GTI, mk5 R32, mk6 R, 2x mk7 R's and now this mk7.5. It's standard but I've added a set of Racingline R360 wheels (and had them powdercoated black), and wrapped with some Michelin Pilot Sport 4S's amazing tyres! Plus a set of carbon mirror caps bought of eBay, which look pretty sweet. I'm heading out for a drive on Sunday so will add more photos next week.

Just 9000 mate

£425 a month 2 year lease with 6 months upfront

Just standard spec DSG in Red

Yeah just been speaking to a lease company and they said the same for May, think I'm going to go for it.

I'm contemplating ordering the FL Golf R (will be on a lease), and just wondered if anyone has ordered one on here yet, and if so, what build date were you given?

I'm still waiting for Statllers to get the clutch in stock, was supposed to be last week but not heard back from them yet.
