Isn't there a white one of these running around town already? I swear I saw a 5 door white R parked in Bridgeland on the main street.

Came across this info on another forum: http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17446
Edit: sorry - did not look at the above posts, info here is the same though.

Seems as expected, fully loaded and no options. It makes reference to the LED headlights which the 2012 GTI will have (http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17398) , but will it have the LED tail-lights?

Re: Golf R Specs?

LED DRLs on the Golf R are in the bumper and the bumper is different than a normal GTI. The GTIs in Europe have optional LEDs in the headlight assembly but I am not sure if we will see those here for a bit or not (I nearly purchased a set last month from Europe) and all the rumors I have seen are no on the LED tails as well for the R so doubtful for a regular GTI as well.

And of course still no mention on the power, latest rumors I have seen say 260hp.

Re: Golf R Specs?

the wife gave me approval to buy the new golf r. now do i really want it..... if i did i'd want to chip it right away and that's a no no for warranty, if only there was a chip friendly dealer in town.

Revo makes a chip: http://www.eurotuner.com/featuredveh...f_r/index.html

Calgary Autoworks is a Revo dealer

Re: Golf R Specs?

Or better yet, get a flash that you can turn off, like the APR or Revo.

Re: Golf R Specs?

Dont get Revo, I hate it with a passion, its alright for a basic tune, but doesnt have much in terms of options. If you want stage two you NEED to have certain parts.

Re: Golf R Specs?

...doesnt have much in terms of options. If you want stage two you NEED to have certain parts.

What options do you want? Get an SPS unit and it's pretty much exactly the same as APR's cruise stalk.
...And this is different from any other stage 2/3 reflash how?

Re: Golf R Specs?

I chipped my current GTI at 5,000 KM, I'm sure my R won't last that long... Unless I get it in the middle of another crap winter.
