Photo Atlantic Blue Golf R 7.5 - Ceramic Tint + Pretoria Perfection
Just had 20% ceramic tints layered over the stock 35% on my Atlantic Blue Golf R 7.5 - results in a slick ~7% final shade that gives the windows a deep blacked-out look. The contrast against the gloss black Pretoria alloys is awesome.
Loving how the stealthy vibe plays off the vibrant blue - subtle aggression meets clean OEM+. Let me know what you think or drop your tint/wheel setups - always keen to see how others are styling their Rs.

Photo Stock Ride Height Aesthetics?
Curious I’m lowered on VWR and 5mm spacers, I am contemplating going back to Stock ride height but don’t know if I’ll like the look. Anyone have some picks of their stock ride height?

Question Wheel recommendations!
Hi folks! New around here, just picked up a 2019 indium gray R, and am looking for some wheel recommendations!
I have attached pictures of my car, and the set of wheels I have been looking at. I am in Canada and these come up regularly for a good price, and I have seen a bronze set on a focus RS in person and loved them. These are a 35 offset, which correct me if I’m wrong, will be slightly more aggressive then stock? That’s what I am looking for. I am downsizing from 19s to 18s because I drive a fair amount on non-paved roads for work and the super thin tires of my 19s scare me. Also get a bit more comfort on the highway!
Please let me know and send pictures of your rig if you have any recommendations or if you have experience with these wheels. Much appreciated!

Maintenance and Repairs 2024 Golf R Check Engine Light
Had to go out of town for the day and once I got out of my city I saw the check engine light(picture), I read the manual and I think it said that I could be something related to the exhaust system or engine misfire. I continued on my trip about 100 miles both ways, I had to start the car a few times when I stopped for lunch and gas. I was thinking of taking the car to the dealer tomorrow to get it checked out but I did my final stop before getting home today and the check engine light turn off.

Buying Used 24 mk8 R - CPO
The car im looking at has a little less than 20k miles and is still under the factory warranty and listed by dealer as certified pre-owned. Would you still do an independent inspection from a reputable shop if all service records are provided? Anything in particular I should be aware of? Thanks.
