Ok, it has arrived, ignore the odd Knob switch position as it has the safety rod still inserted, its quite nice in the flesh and is growing on me

Its the future, your so 2010 :D :lol:

It is a shame they dont do some paino black feature on the R specific DSG knob, maybe even a little R logo on the top somewhere.
