Can't wait to have my own in Lapiz Blue. Not a bad courtesy car to have till the real thing arrives, and it does bring a certain ‘greyness’ to the thread, lol. But that rear end is awful compared to the R hatch rear, looks like someone’s gone into the back of it and dented the hatch, weird design. Looks forward to seeing your Lapiz in its place!

But the XDS differential actually does a pretty good job. Also progressive steering which is standard on the R-Line is fantastic. On rural roads (B-Roads?) when you get on the gas halfway through corners, it actually tucks in nicely and feels a lot like a 4WD car. Grippy tyres obviously help.

He did race an R against an M3 Competition which was a bit pointless, ....I mean it was interesting to see just how fast the M3 Competition was in comparison but still 500Bhp versus 300Bhp drag race was only ever going to be one result really.

The car was an ex demo but having not bought a car for 20 years I was disappointed I hadn’t gone for the R so set about hunting parts down to improve its styling. The parts are a mix of official vw parts - r brakes.
