Golf R

So the new RS is pretty much a sensible practical choice...?! ;)

Nope, they haven't. That must be someone's own personal mod. Don't think that would look all that great in truth. I'm looking at a carbon fibre rear valance but can't really afford it just now (having just been told that we need to replace our existing boiler...groan).



I also want to get the exhaust exits powder coated because they don't stay clean a second. A guy on VXRONLINE did his and it looks awesome and is much easier to maintain.

Re: Golf R

The Ford RS cars at Waxstock looked fantastic. They are a good looking car if a bit, dare I say, boy racer ish but in a good way. The engine bays of those things were something to be believed. The owners had made them a work of art. Never seen anything like it before.

Re: Golf R

I must admit, when I got home, I did do a lot of researching about them. The trouble is they do attract a lot of attention and I would be worried that it would be damaged / vandalised. A lot of them are used as weekend /show cars. I need a car that would be driven daily so don't think it's really practical in that respect.

And upside down in a hedge.The problem is with these things are that the market for then cant afford them.Either the list price or the insurance.

Re: Golf R

Yeah l would agree the car makers have out priced them for people below their 30, times have moved on since the boyracer 80's when most hot hatchback s where driven by people in their 20's.the hot hatchback is far more sophisticated and more powerful now and insurance company's have rightly so priced the premiums for such cars out of reach for most younger drivers

Re: Golf R

Which just leaves the oldies that can afford them,insurance and otherwise im afraid.And that market is diminishing as we move on to design led cars i.e. the RCZ., SPECS cameras et al punish the innocent.Todays cars have to look as if moving when standing still, that restores my faith in car design.Lets be rid of boremobiles like vx and vw run of the mill hatches with bodykits and even worse..cars that look plain boring, but have a performance engine..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
DESIGN IS KING.

Re: Golf R

Everyone's different though. Some like the "sleeper" look. After all, if there wasn't a market for them, they wouldn't go into production :)

I've always been a fan of all show and no go though :lol:

Re: Golf R

Everyone has different tastes and people's tastes change, for one reason or another. There's nothing wrong with in your face design but as Abz says, some people like understated design with amazing power. Each to their own I say.
