^^^^ @Frodo-anni
I'm warming to the REVO wheels......Gloss Bronze or Gloss Anthracite. May speek to @vRSAlex *cough cough* and see if he can get them any cheaper than I can. :innocent:
I came close to selling the car (impossible as it stood) or trying to get my money back but it never came to that. I'm now completely up to date on consumer law....is all I'll say! :laugh:
Yes the shortened plate is legal, as long as the digits are the correct size, they are spaced correctly, has correct space around all edges (11 mm from edge of plate to outer side of digit in any direction) and the plate carries the correct legal BS marks a (which mine does) then all good....

Hey Martin,
It's about time you started a thread on this one. The R's looking AMAZING! I'm glad you stuck with it - it looks all the better for it :)
I still remember when you took me and my cousin out for a ride - what a machine! I can only imagine how much quicker / fun it will be when you're done with it!
Thanks,
Faz

Howdy @fazi123 and thanks! :happy2:
Hope all's well with you. May see you at a meet sometime.
I'm hoping for a big step up, in both performance and fun, once she's modded and mapped to just stage 1. My stage 2+ Eddy was 360+ bhp so I'm still 20% down on the old girl there but the 7R feels as fast with only 300bhp and is a lot more planted and sure footed thanks to the VW 4WD system..........and all with the sh*tty ditch finder tyres the previous owner had fitted!! :grin:
:happy2:

Great to hear from you Martin,
Sorry to hear of the difficulties in your Mk7R ownership - that paint is truly shocking! Glad to hear it has been sorted to your standard in the end. There is an R in Lapiz blue just round the corner from me. Looks nicely understated under clouds, and then when there's sun - what a belting colour!
As for the wheels - I do like the design of the Revo wheels, but the Oz's look best to me. Pretoria like, but subtlety better... Clio Williams look is great - it may work very well on the R, but I'd be a wuss and go with anthracite or bright silver. So many choices...!

+1 on the gold on blue Williams look. Needs to be a subtle gold though.
