Not yet! At least wait until tomorrow :wink:

Pondy, the DSG box looks so good in them, but this is a manual :thumbsup:

Like I said I searched long and hard for a car that ticked all the boxes I want :wink:

As much as I love the colour blue, didn’t want a blue one, and this Reflex Silver is a rare colour on the Rs :thumbsup: 19” Pretoria alloys was another box that required ticking! :wink: :D

Good choice. By all accounts the DSG gets confused very easily in the R. I have one in my Audi A4 and it is nothing to write home about TBH.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

3 week update!

Race mode is addictive but have somehow managed to control myself to using it as a weekend treat. :thumbsup: Mostly drive around in normal mode so it’s comfy :thumbsup:

Part of the haggling on price was the condition of the headlights which really did let the front of the car down but a good bargaining tool :wink: As you know I don’t mind a bit of modding :rofl:

Old piss poor bi xenons then new bi xenons :thumbsup:
