Looks a cracker,I honestly believe every lover of driving should have had the experience of extra cylinders in their life.

Welcome to the dark side  :evilgrin: Really like this colour, really stands out in the flesh. Saw a dbp last week in London, when they are all polished up they turn heads!! The V6 noise is unescapable, you wont ever want to part with it.  :driver:

Followed a DBP one the other day and all the wife and I said was how much we'd love one, pretty much think I'd cope with the fuel bill as it'd only do 5-6k miles a year max but couldn't bring myself to pay £475 a year in tax....just couldn't and the 05/55 plates are very hard to come across.

How you finding the R32 in comparision to a GTI? Is the real world running cost much higher?  I have always been tempted to do this swap myself!

Nice lookin car matey  :happy2:  I agree with comment re going for extra cylinders at least once in your life, I had a VR6 in my life once and it was fabulous, the noise was to die for  :laugh:  I look forward to clean and shiny pics  :drinking:

I went the other way, from an MKV r32 to an Ed30, I do miss that noise!
