*Bumper
*Xenons Standard
*Black Radio Surround Standard
*Door Inserts
*Spoiler
*Seats
*Instrument Cluster (Blue)
*Rear Lights
*Suspension
*Wheels
*Heated cloth seats (should you choose that option)
And the obvious choices in engine and exhaust as their is no diesel option available.

Also forgotten off the list is side skirts and no black trim
Black wing mirrors

The R does have some sort of LSD, but it's not a real one, it's an extension to the traction control. It can be specced as an extra on other Rocs.
I specced it on mine on recommendation from a golf driver, it can be activated or deactivated via VCDS which I didn't know at the time, but I've not really pushed the car into testing it out yet. I'm told it works really well though.

Is there a way of telling if you have it in your car? When I pull away hard mine is still wheel spinning through second gear.

All Golf GTIs have an electronic diff that as said above uses the traction control and ESP to limit the power between front wheel when cornering (called XDS) - if it senses a wheel is spinning it brakes that wheel. Assume the scirocco 2.0 TSI has the same. Will not be noticeable on a straight pull away - normally just traction control will operate with the yellow light!!. You can alter the severity of the electronic diff intervention/action using VCDS.
