Bought this in December for my wife to commute to work now that we sent her company car back. I've been driving it the most to be honest and it's only starting to come good now the roads have dried up.
I have no interest in modifying it, I think it's plenty swift and to be honest on greasy roads it'll spin its wheels very easily. Only thing might be a better head unit that can get DAB and allow phone functions. I was thinking of getting the wheels back to their original colour but anthracite seems to work well.
It'll need its front wings done at some point but otherwise it's sound all round.
89,000 miles now.
Never had a red car but loving it.

Looks clean. But you really should get it mapped. Stage 1 brings these alive.

Very nice, love the interior in these. Special car.
Would love to compare this back to back with my R32.

Love an edition 30 - and they look great in red.

Would definately recommend a remap - I got my wife on too in December to replace an ageing Ibiza. Its currently "Stage 2+" and is a riot
My RR is here if you want some slightly more in depth opinions link
