Show Us Your Motors!

@Defy Belief good point about the practicality, I do wonder whether I should just have one car i.e. an estate sometimes. Having a daily and a weekend car is just more hassle and costs.

Colour suits it totally!

It's the only choice :cool:
 
Another near 200 miles covered yesterday truly sublime roads and very quiet and decent weather in the end:

Another day of driving today and then head home by the end would have covered 500-600 miles around Wales and the 600 LT has average 16-18mpg obviously been giving it plenty, epic roads though a touch bumpy in places for an LT, still superb fun!

Picked up my new Golf R estate the other day, absolutely loving having a powerful car again but also adding practicality makes it the perfect wagon for me.

I'm not a huge fan of the wheels, so will likely change them, but with the crap winter weather incoming and most Golf R wheels that I like being diamond cut, I will likely keep them for winter and get another set of wheels come spring time.

Got some spare mirror caps in the bodyshop currently to have them Lapiz blue because I've never really understood the silver mirrors thing, then I'll be happy with the external aesthetic of the car.

BMW and Audi had silver mirror caps too strangely enough... Could be that they wanted to differentiate between the base and 'performance' models? This is a cheap way to achieve that. :p

Yeah i've hated it on all cars since it became a thing! I don't even think VW did an option at factory to have colour coded... bit of a sham if you ask me :p

They didn't have an option for colour coding but they did have an option for a "black pack" which was basically the mirrors, roof rails and some small bits of trim. IMO it looked a lot better than the silver.

You're making your R look like a 1.4 :/

GTI wheels and colour-coded wing mirrors :(

Each to their own but definitely don't think a set of out of place silver wing mirrors are what make it look like an R, GTI wheels were a quick stop fix as it came on horrible team dynamics and I do like them/wanted it more OEM.

The R styling, quad exhaust etc is not quite 1.4 :p
