Melchior Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Popped down to my local dealer and they have an R32 in the showroom. I was initially sceptical about the look of the car and in particular, the brushed aluminium look grille, but I have to admit that it looked fantastic in the metal! Much better than in press photos imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I think the grill is the worst aspect of the car. After seeing photos of it I felt I couldn't live with it but having seen it in the metal, I've change my mind. I think photos make the grill look worse than it actually is imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melchior Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 It was blue, and it had pearl effect paint... so I think it must have been 'Deep Blue' as it the only blue pearl effect option on the R32 according to the VW website. It did look good in that colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotw Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Im not a fan of that grill, from what I can see its appearing on all sorts of VWs now, methinks the GTi had a lucky escape and is destined to be the prettiest of the Golfs.

petsy Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 [ QUOTE ] I have to say, not bad pics for a phone [/ QUOTE ] agreed but the ambient lighting makes the colour appear somewhat different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Jury is still out for me too re the nose. Out GTI looks a lot sportier and lighter weight though . Still, 3.2 V6 plus 4WD is a much heavier dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonl Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 or the grill, too many lines for my liking! can't describe how, but spokes on the alloys, lines on the grill, way too fussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
