Nice car w/the best color.
Looks like someone rammed the bin into the wall!

Very nice! Which tune did you go with? I've been considering the euro cup holder and dash cubby for my GTI. I'll be very jealous if you get the Recaros!

Hey all!

I thought I'd drop into this forum and introduce myself. I am a new owner of a 2013 Golf R and I'm loving every minute of it.

I'm very excited to get this puppy because:

1.) My first VW
2.) My first 'new' car

I plan to do some mods on it in the future but right now, I'm going to enjoy the great stock action and do a proper 'break-in'.

I was skeptical of getting a Volkswagen because of the electrical gremlins but when I test-drove the GTi with the DSG today, I immediately was in love with everything and threw down my order for an R.

So stay tuned and perhaps, all of you wizards will teach me the VW way as I started with a Mitsubishi and know my car inside and out.

I will definitely be asking about engine mods, chip tuning, etc. etc.
For now, here are the mods I had in mind (As of Nov 14, 2012):
- Stage 1 ECU flash (Done by Concept1 using APR; Oct 19, 2012)
- Soundaktor Delete (Feb. 9, 2013)
- Stage 1+ with high pressure fuel pump upgrade
- Titanium vs. Stainless Steel exhaust system
- Carbonio vs. Volkswagen Racing Intake
- LED tail lights (Installed)
- Interior improvements (Gauge cluster, carbon fiber trim, new shifter/short shift kit maybe)
- Haldex Competiton Controller (Installed)
- H&R Sport Springs (Installed)
- 19x8.5 Volk LE37 ET35/Hankook V12 235/35/19 with fender screw mod (Summer setup)

Enjoy this thread and see what transpires!
