RDH's R32

[RDH]

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally bought one. Not collected it yet so I've only got dealer shots, but excited isn't the word. The noise. The seats. The end.

Wind deflectors are coming off, and I'm not sure on the silver mirrors or silver detailing on the front bumper (which isn't the same as most I've seen but looks OEM. US spec? Tried searching but it is fruitless so far, looks awesome anyway). Other than that it is perfect. It's got everything on bar Sat Nav, but the MK6 touchscreen unit is good enough for me!

 

[Hixle]

Love it! Looks superb mate!

 

[Ray Gin]

Minus the silver bits - awesome. Although Black is a bugger to keep clean. Love the interior & seats.

 

[_Tom]

Looks great other than the silver and tints.

 

[Fletcher]

Nice.

 

[Trophy144]

those seats are great but i agree with you about the silver bits, make it look cheap

 

[JamesBryan]

Ron Hodgsons?

Looks great! Definitely going to get people stopping you for ounces and 20 bags though

 

[Eddie.]

Awesome, they do have a cracking soundtrack!

Yeah mate, it's from Ron's. Been looking for months and then I got a call last week to say he was getting one in. And I'm rather worried of latter as well, coupled with the fact I look about 17.

Remember, as long as you can supply the goods then they won't stab you

 

[Adam.]

Perfect spec wise!

 

[SOHROB]

Lovely car but ditch all stick on bits, get some h and r springs and facelift wheels = perfect.

 

[.GAZ.]

Never seen that front valance before.

I miss my R32 like mad.

 

[Ash.]

Looks ace. I kind of like the silver bits

 

[leeds_182]

Looks nice.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Looks lovely, but just to make you aware, those wheels are reps - the offset & dish is wrong.

The spokes should be flatter, like so:

Might be worthwhile asking them for some money off if you havent already paid in full

 

[Bobby.]

Them seats do look lovely.

Lovely car but hasn't Ron Hodgson's got a reputation for selling often pricey cars, he is always at the top end of any auto trader search anyway.

Get yourself a MK6 Steering Wheel and Mk6 climate control controls and it'll be a beauty. Love the Recaro's!

For what I've paid, it was very competetively priced. Dave can probably back me up on how sporadic the pricing is on these things. Prices aside, Ron's cars are always immaculate, and it a joy to deal with people who actually know what they are talking about. His son is a friend of a friend so I've been well taken care of. MK6 interior bits are on my list, will more than likely be after i get back from europe in it!

And I'd already noticed that Dave. At first I thought they were spaced and then I realised. Although i think the offset makes it sit lovely! I already have plans for wheels anyway

 

[Matthew]

Seats are ace!

 

[Lal B3N]

Very nice. Epic seats.

Bumper add on on the front is off the race cars i believe. I think theres one on ebay at moment made of carbon.

Want to buy a catback for it?

 

[Wick]

That is lovely.

 

[Knuckles]

Looks ace. Will this be at the meet on Sunday?

 

[Bluebeard]

Ron Hodgson/Hodgkins Specialist cars if i'm not mistaken??

 

[Wick]

That is lovely.

Edit from earlier. My eyes aren't agreeing with that front bumper. Is it non standard with vents?

 

[Englebert]

Chrome bits and tints are definetly a bit drug dealer! Otherwise looks very nicely specced.

The parts that stick out like fins and curve round are the add on bits.

Yup

 

[Wick]

They're not actually working for me, I must say I prefer it in plain Jane spec.

That said,epic car though, and bar those bits it looks great to me Bet it sounds awesome.

 

[Heez]

Looks amazing this. Perfect spec. Just need some CH-Rs

 

[jamier27]

Yep nice wheels and a drop.

full of win

 

[*Badger*]

Understand what you mean about the pricing being all over the place, was the same thing when I had my E46 M3. Enjoy, it's a beaut.

 

[Kieran..]

absolutely love these! unsure on bumper though

 

[BREMBO]

Nice mate - very chrome though

 

[Jamie]

Ron has an Alfa 147 GTA for sale, which he has had for about 10 years.

They certainly adopt a premium pricing philosophy.

Golfs don't do much for me but I make an exception for the R, dat noise!

Does a mk2 TT 3.2 have the same setup? I know they share the same engine, but I've always found they're quieter?

Black isn't as bad to maintain as people say, and its the best when polished up

 

[RDH]

As far as I'm aware the TT has exactly the same engine etc, although the differences in the exhaust design could mean it sounds different? Don't think I've ever heard one in real life so couldn't compare really.

Looks like I'll be picking it up on Tuesday due to my car still being in BMW....again.

 

[Matthew]

Part of me wishes I'd have gone for the R32, especially when I'm only getting 22mpg daily out of the GTI.

Could have had that noise

 

[Kris86]

Ron Hodgsons. overpriced cars since time began. Nice car though, hope you didn't pay over the odds for it because the price of some of their cars is totally laughable.

 

[Rubicon_]

That looks awesome!
