Ease yourself into posting Adam! smile

The only R32 I can find is by Maisto in 1/24th scale. I've not seen one, but have experienced Maisto's before and the paint does tend to be a bit 'heavy', obscuring some of the finer details.

Saying that, they don;t seem to be that expensive;

R32 @ Modelzone

I have to admit I'm not sure what 'dpb' is/means.

This one? Or is this a Mk V Golf? Otherwise only one I can see is a 1/24 by Maisto as mentioned above.

I believe the Minichamps is a MK5 and that is expensive. Available cheaper away from eBay.

Minichamps make a mk2 big bumper mk2 but its in their street tuner range. Is a horrid green with yellow.
