My engine cover has an Audi badge on it. :thumbsup:
The lack of an R badge on the cover is a bit pants, but is not really a big deal.
The back doesn't look as good as the MkV R32. Too pedestrian for me.
The front is better that the MKVI GTI but it still can't hold a candle to the MKV GTI for aggressiveness. On looks alone the Scirocco R is more aggressive looking of the two.
All MO of course.

Sorry, I should have clarified. UPCOMING emissions regulations. The VR6 in all forms will be discontinued next year, including in the R36.

If they did an AWD version of the Scirocco R I'd take it in preference, but if not this'll do.
The fuel economy, tunability and ease of extracting extra performance from a Turbo has to be weighed against the V6 engine note from my perspective.
The minor stuff like wheels, rear valance etc is stuff I'd change anyway - those Ultras look better on the MK 6 than they do on my MK V - I'd take the Ultras off my R32 and put em on the MK 6 if I went that way.

Ahh, thanks, I thought the R36 was still going to be okay.

will it come in 5 door and other colors? I'm so over the .:R blue; it was very nice when it first pop'd around but specially in a Golf R would look too much like the R32 for the untrained eye. besides, the grey R32s look much more exotic than the blue ones these days in my opinion.
The blue R32 looked good also because of the silver grill, the new one doesn't have it so it's a bit MEH...
I don't like the wheels but I think is the color, not the shape... if they were gunmetal or black in a white or grey car it would look seriously hot...
I wasn't keen on "upgrading" to an MK6 because the word "upgrade" seems incorrect when you're going to the same car, just an evolution of it... but after seeing the stats, in particular the 5.5sec 0-100km/h it's become a lot more appealing
After all, it's been pretty hard to find faults on the GTI that any car under 70-80k can beat and be better all-round... well done VW
In regards to those Sirocco shots, bring that car here tomorrow and I'm signing for one! WAYYY hotter than the Golf!

Sounds like you're under the pump, an new R would be a good reward.. :thumbsup:
That basically sums it up and should be 10k cheaper is my guess, similar to the current ones. Still wont feel quite as luxurious but shuold be almost as good.
I wouldnt mind an R36 engine in mine but it would just be more uneconomical and alread understeers enough.
Good effort, cheers..
Looks good to me, and they aren't rounded much so suit the car :thumbsup:
I love the CH's on it as well, and the supers go good as well... actually most wheels do that look good on the MK5.
Was wondering what CW would be like, and looks killer with your Huffs.
It's fairly good that the shape and colour isn't dramatically different as the current ones will hold their value that way. The tunability is the obvious benefit but DBP is the classic Golf R colour. The blue looks a bit lighter but thought there could have been a different brouchure colour this time.
