Official Oryx White Pearl Golf R Thread

Yup. I did it alone. Used a jack to hold it in place in the center and used self tapping screws with washers. It's solid. The front bumper will come off before the lip does.

Nice. So installed it with the bumper still on? That’s something I would consider - don’t really want to remove everything.

I did the same with their v1 lip I had on my mk7 gti. Self tapping screws and washers, properly spaced and located. Zero issues. Plus easy to take off for the winter months... At least where I am.

Looks equally as good! So, you used your own hardware then? And chose your own mounting points for the screws?

I'm in Canada too (Toronto area), so I can relate. Although you would probably laugh at what we consider a snowfall

Follow their install guide, it tells you where you should put the screws. Once the lip is lined up, it takes maybe 5 mins to secure it.

Added OEM roof racks and Inno fairing for a recent trip to Georgia:

As much as I really don't like black wheels (played out, hides a lot of the wheel detail, gets dirty easily, etc), they look awesome on white R's with the piano black trim parts.

Newbie to group here...

Was just looking for wheel colour advice on my R and ended up here!

My R is shortly to get it's first track outing (a key reason for me buying it 6 months ago but help up because... well, you know....

It's a 2017 3 door R in Oryx on black19" Prets (and yes, pano roof) and a few other bits, most of which I have to admit were on it when I acquired, and I love the overall white/black look It's stage 2 and puts out around 405bhp. Other than the St2 mods most others were cosmetic. I've just added a Sparta 6 pot BBK, Racingline catch can, rear ARB and upgraded pads and fluids.

I have sourced a set of AEZ 18" wheels that I plan on getting shod with Nankang AR-1 semi-slicks before the track day in early July.

So, question is..... whether to get the AEZ wheels painted gloss black or leave silver. I know it's entirely a personal choice thing of course, just wondered what peoples thoughts would be. I attach a couple of pics showing the car as I bought it, the wheels and the black prets with the BBK.

Hoping I’ve come to the right place. After three GTIs, finally pulled the trigger today on a 7.5R.

2019 CPO car with 16,000kms and a clean Carfax. So stoked!

Washed to get the dust off from sitting in the garage for the past 2 months and now parked again. At this rate I'll hit 15k miles by 2025.
