I owned a 2015 GTI SE (my 3rd GTI) and it was a fantastic car. I was really, really looking forward to the Mk8 R. 🤬

No. After watching Jason Cammisa's review of the Mk8, I didn't bother. Everything he hated in that car would have pissed me off so much that no goodness in the driving experience could have overcome it. 😕

What was wrong with it?

A while ago I debadged the rear deck. Today I re-badged the doors. Before and after photos:

Yes, the Blackwing badge was a running change during 2023. Early cars didn't have them, later cars did. You can order Blackwing badges, they are ~$40.

the tires actually aren't the same. The TPC Spec Pilot 4S on the Blackwing uses a different rubber compound than the regular 4S.

I'm a hat guy and damn, those hats are hot garbage.

Agreed. I'd go do Spring Mountain again and save $8,000.
