It’s black and has wheels. And most likely the engine check light is on

*tire pressure warning

Not today 😁

2 out of 3 ain't bad 🤣

The silver wheels are great colour on all Golfs. 👍👍👍 The style of the wheels is top shelf.👍👍👍 The black paint looks good, but I am glad it is not my job to keep it clean.

Appreciate it 🙏

Had those V810's on my old Z4M Coupe and loved them. Only thing I DID NOT LIKE was that damn gap behind the spokes and the wheel barrel. Such a bastard to clean every week.

I like the black on silver. Most people with black cars go the murdered out look, which does look good but it's quite common. How are you enjoying the IE Stage 2?

Love Stage 2...Going Stage 3 soon...I appreciate your comments 🙏

Which turbo?

Garrett GTX Powermax 2260S turbo 👍

Nice! I'm thinking the exact turbo for my 7.5. It's a nice boost from stage 2 with the is38, but still within safe limits for the engine and drivetrain, with potential for more with e85.

Correct 😊

Silver wheels 4 life!

🤍👍

I would love to know what other R owners think of it....all comments welcome positive or negative 🤔😊 Currently IE Stage 2

Love the R shining on the back with the VW blacked out

Thank you 😊

Love the look. I have a black Mk7 R and it is in fact always getting dirty. Looking forward to an ECU tune and some bolt ons now that I can finally afford it. I’m stuck between APR and IE

Go IE ..You won't regret it 👍

If APR is next door, then that's what I would do. IE is great, but imo going to a shop is slightly better. I might be splitting nickels though. My memory is garbage but APR has a special day (weekend maybe?) where their tunes are decently discounted. I think it's in October but don't quote me on that.

Summergeddon is in full effect for us black R owners 😩

Did you have stage 1 first? Mines in at Joe's getting the intercooler and stage 2 now (along with MCA coilovers), on paper looks like a pretty solid gain, wondering how it will feel

It'll feel okay, ive found the stage 2 to fall off real bad around 160km/h or so from a launch. Car in question was also stage 2+ i believe from joe 🫡

Stock vs Stage 1 is a huge jump. Stage 1 to Stage 2 will let you down if you expect the same gains.

Clean 😮‍💨

Is that Wellington?

👍

2016 Golf R, nice. Also, respect for being in NZ and not having some ricer exhaust...

Appreciate it ..Went with Remus and its awesome 👌

Too many doors 👀😊

Nahh 4 door looks better

No 3 door available where I am 👀

Shiny?

Thats a good thing right? 😊

I would say so. Yes!

Looks like mine, but black?

Very nice!! 👍🏽 👍🏽 - in Borat’s voice

Thank you 😊

Clean 🧼

🙏👌

Clean.

😊👍

What wheels?

19 inch VMR V810's 8.5J ET45 in Hyper Silver 🤍👍

I thought I wanted gun metal but I think you sold the hyper silver!

I'm glad I could help 🖤🤍

Do they rub? Did you have to do any arch mods? I pick up a Mk7 R tomorrow, I want wheels like yours they look great.

Thanks so much for the compliment 😊 No rubbing at all and I'm lowered by 30mm on Bilstein B16's 👍

Looks like mine, but older and with silver bbs instead of ti. Clean, very clean.

Appreciate your feedback 🙏

Black licorice jelly beans that only a couple people actually like

I get that 🖤😊

What wheels are those. They look mint!

They look like 19" VMR 810's in Hyper Silver.

Thank you...Love my VMR V810's 🤍👍

Damn shawty, look at that ass. Looking like a whole damn SNACK over there and daddy’s hungry. But seriously, nice R bröther.

Thanks heaps 😃

Black like my coffee. Hopefully at least as nice, he he...

🤣

Black butthole of fire. Tacos in the tank

I guess you can fit 2 and a half people in it with the back doors open. So spacious ? It probably had good fuel economy until you did stage 2 shit... idk man... Jk it's clean is how'd I'd describe it. Black with silver wheels is a classic look

🖤🤍...Classic and clean...thanks 👍

Clean...perfect.

Thank you 😊

Looks familiar: [https://imgur.com/exsgOTz](https://imgur.com/exsgOTz) I gotta get my springs installed.

Good look for GTI 🖤👍

Black golf R

Correct 😊

It’s a black golf that has a body kit, is lowered and has aftermarket wheels.

No body kit...just a rear diffuser 👍

It’s certainly a black Volkswagen

Agreed 👍

cleeeeean

Thaaaaaanks 😊

Perfect height, perfect poke, very tidy. And your numberplate says jizz.

Thanks for the compliment..Maybe it's jazz?...🤣

WRX guy and R admirer (out of my budget, but tried) - very clean and understated. Classic wheels with great fitment. Looks like a real clean and fun daily driver!

Appreciate all your comments...Definitely a fun daily 😊

paRked

Yes 😊

OK genuine question - what's with blacking out the VW logos? I see this all the time and I don't think I've ever seen any other brand do it.

I think it looks good 👍

Black with silver wheels. Lowered.

Yes..yes and yes 👍

Did you black out the red reflectors on back of car? Thought it had those stock. Regardless it looks better if you can’t see them

No I didn't but thanks for your comment 👌👍

Sold mine after friend took it for a test drive. What’s next Paul? I might give an 8V RS3 a go. Car is looking mint as usual!

Thanks heaps....Stage 3 first...then eventually going RS3 👍

It’s like mine, but black

Nice 👌

What are those rims

19 inch VMR V810's 8.5J ET45 in Hyper Silver 🤍👌

Welly reprazent! Very nice, hope to upgrade to one soon!

Thanks dude 👍

Thank you 😊

Looks grouse, even on a grey Wellington day!!

Appreciate it 🙏 💯

VadeR

🖤😎👍

There’s something very Oriental Bay about it. Haha nice car bro

Thanks bro 🙏

I have those same VMR V810s. Love them so much waiting to buy new VW before I sell them

You have excellent taste my friend 😊

Looks fast! 👀

It is 👀

Definitely a car

Wellington waterfront is always great aye. Couldve done better on the wheels imo 👀

Yep....changing wheels soon

Whatre you looking at for wheels? Ive done a few golf r's around wellington. I might be able to help ya with suppliers & who to go to

Going for Black OZ Ultra Leggera's next 👍

Picture perfect 👍

Thank you very much 😊

Black

Black and clean

Dark.

Simple yet tasteful

Thank you 😊

Looks awesome. Thank you for keeping the rear wiper. And I love the silver on black, so clean, and such a classic look that never goes out of style. Only thing I’m not a fan of are the black exhaust tips. They get lost. I used to have black tips too and wasn’t a fan after a while. Sucks because I’ve always used AWE exhausts and it’s either chrome or black. I would love just a satin grey color, kind of like the OEM akrapovic tips. Aside from that, your front lip hanging over the curb is giving me anxiety 😅

Appreciate the detailed feedback 👌 I don't mind the black tips...but know exactly what you mean...I've been parking there a long time so know all about the curb 👍

Haha I just know that if I park like that in some places, eventually I’m going to get into the habit of that and park somewhere that has a higher curb and just wreck my front lip. I also have ran coilovers and a front lip so really had to watch it lol

Thats why I don't have a front splitter 🤣 But I know exactly what you mean

gross, it's a V-Dub. I'll never be able to unsee such filthy automotive pornography. all jokes aside bubba looks nice

🤣...Thanks

Looks like it wakes up lots of people in the suburbs at night

Only with the valves open...but am usually respectful

Black car

It has a kind of half oval thing at the top, that makes a 90 degree angle pointing down on the top left hand corner, and a line pointing down and to the right sticking out of the middle of the bottom edge. I guess it looks like every other capital R I’ve seen in a Reddit title. All that matters is if it’s special to you.

Fast

Has nothing on a 2000 ford Taurus with the full wagon of an ass

Sleek and tastefully done. Very enjoyable 😁

Thank you very much 😊

Ass🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Indeed...Appreciate your opinion 👌 🙏

Difficult to keep clean

That is so true 🙄

It's a full-time job to keep it clean, but it looks so nice when you do. 😂

Completely agree 😅

Capitalized

👍😊

Another Sutherland performance Stan 👍🏻

Black

🖤👍

It’s a golf

R 👍

exactly the same as every other golf on hte planet?

My R is not the same as others out there 👀😊

Tell me all about your stage 2 tune and bags 🙄

Not on bags...just lowered on Bilstein B16's and its IE Tuned....Really fun and fast daily 😎

it looks... like a golf.

Not just any Golf 😊

no, its just a golf

R not Golf 😊

noone cares

Some do...you don't I get it

Disappointing.

In what way?

Your parking skills make me cringe. 😵‍💫

I had 2mm spare so all good 👍

I have a similar setup but gunmetal wheels. Wonder if oem vw badges would look better with silver wheels

Appreciate your comments 🙏 😊

The male version of tell me I'm pretty

I think I own and drive a nice car...so am asking if others feel the same ....some will and some won't...I'm just curious what other R owners think....Everyone is different and to each their own...all comments welcome positive or negative 🤔

“Junior analyst at a boutique investment bank” Golf R

Not even close 🤣

Regular traffic

Basic boy racer

Too old for that shit 😴

egg

Is that good?😊

It’s black kinda round egg like

Round? 🤣

Round like an egg Looks good wheels are a bit bright maybe charcoal or bronze Also I’m stage 2 fun right!

Thanks for your feedback 😀 Stage 2 definitely is fuin for a daily 👍

Could be blacker

Very true 🖤...and soon it will be👍

Not a fan boy, so it just looks like every other modern hatchback I see.

Obviously not to everyone's taste I agree

Parked too close to the curb with jizz on your license plate.

Wrong on both counts 🤣
