Back again...
So after a year and a bit with the GTD, I decided to sell. The GTD was a fantastic car and the work that I had done to it meant it was always getting attention and comments from people. However 2 things lacked for me - the engine and the gearbox. Big thanks to Stefan at Performance Cars NI for a hassle free sale with the GTD.
I love my Golfs, I did shop around looking at the S3 and a few other equivalents, but I kept being drawn back to Volkswagen. So decided to order a new R from factory in the spec I really really wanted - basically something to set it aside from all the leased Rs floating about.
Took delivery on Thursday and drove it straight to PMG for a new car prep and Crystal Serum Ultra with an Aero coating. Have to give credit to Agnews - they were fantastic to deal with, very competitive with pricing and listened to how I wanted the car delivered - i.e keep it in the plastics, don't drill plates etc. They even lent me an Up GTI until the R arrived.
Was very lucky to get the last build week of the 3 door line! Since 2019 due to emissions and this new WLTP crap, the Golf R now has 300bhp and a Petrol Particulate Filter (PPF). As they have the filter they no longer have a resonator in the exhaust, have to say it sounds fantastic standard with some crackles and pops on the overrun.
Car is absolutely incredible to drive, only 50 miles on it so far!

Oryx White (Pearlscent)

Time for some photos, the Oryx White paint is amazing in the sunlight! So hard to capture in a photo.
Thanks for looking,
Mark!
