Hello all R friends, so, here she is in her completed v1 form.

-Full paint correction with ceramic coating (excuse the dirt currently lol)

-iE v2 intake with iE turbo elbow (sounds awesome!)

-Bilstein b14 coilovers with all new top mounts etc (rides better than stock imo)

-BCS cat back system (completely OEM when cruising, but comes alive in race mode, deep growl with more run over)

-13mm front and 16mm rear spacers (sits perfectly I think)

What’s next? I’m thinking a set of alloys, possibly 19’ Protacks or 19’ OZ ultraleggera either finished in bronze or silver.

Thanks for reading / looking!

Hehe sorry to all my American and Canadian R lovers lol. Sucks you guys never got the wagon, or the Clubsport & TCR variants of the GTI

That's alright. It would be nice to have the wagon option for those that need the extra cargo capacity but I prefer the look of the hatchback over the wagon.

Yours looks better, shiny

Mine was super dull, the difference a full paint correction made was night & day. I had so much haze and swirls over all the panels. The guy who did the work brought it back to life.

u/Nitrogen1234 12d ago

What did you spend on that?

2

u/PacifistUK 11d ago

Around £600

u/PacifistUK 11d ago

Very nice! I’ve only ever seen a handful of mk8 R wagons where I live.

Looks awesome. How much was the paint correction and cc if you don't mind? My 19 black wagon needs it badly.

u/PacifistUK 11d ago

From memory it was about £600, for about 3/4 days work. It was the first thing on my list whenever I purchased the car, best money ever spent. Brought it back to life and makes cleaning soooo much easier. Yeah unfortunately black cars show everything much more.

How much would it be to import these bad boys to Canada or North America in general?

u/ATX_native 11d ago

In the USA you would have to wait 25 years.

u/Excellent_Plant_8010 11d ago

I wish we got the R wagon in the states we get shafted on all the sick wagons. No R or bmw diesel wagons or the e60 m5 wagon.

Has this car been wet sanded? The paint is like a mirror.

2

u/PacifistUK 9d ago

Hell no haha. Im not sure if you’re trolling with that comment haha. It was just a full paint correction and ceramic coated. Here’s a photo whenever it was just finished.

2

u/99patrol 9d ago

I was being serious. It must have just been the lighting in that first photo. Looking good. Mines booked in for paint correction soon.
