Chocolate Thunder has a new stable mate!

Last Friday I picked up a 2013 VW Golf R! I really enjoy the car. It is amazing how similar the cars are in size. I was looking at the dimensions in the manuals of both cars and you would be amazed at how similar they really are. A few inches difference in most dimensions it's actually quite cool. Except the CM back seat has more leg room but the Golfs trunk is a lot bigger. But the Golf does weigh 75 pounds more but has 75 more horsepower! This car is gonna be modded out with APR stage 3 with 450+ horsepower, all I can say is I'm super excited to get that done. Thought I would share the latest in my car world!

They do not but I think I might powder coat them black.

wow! nice cars you have there!

i hope you like the r i heard some great first impressions of the car from friends that work at a vw dealer.

question about your mini how did you manage to black out all of your trim? it looks perfect that way probably the way it should have come.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
I love it to say the least, although it's not up to par with the S5, it's the fun car so It's awesome!

I used plastidip. My son actually was the in to do it and I think it looks really nice! But you can also take the trim off and send it out to be painted in matte black or which ever color you would like! I did the scuttles, head and tail lights and the chrome around the grille and the best part about it, is if you don't like it you can peel it off!
