Let me give you a hand then by pointing out just a couple of things
-the two vertical white bars in the middle of the bumper are fake
-the top of the large air intakes on either side are covered by white tape thus disguising its shape
-the middle part of the front splitter is going to be black and not body colour
well definitely you have a better eye than me! and I do hope the diagonals in the middle of the front bumpers are fake! It makes it look like a Civic to me. Man, I do hope the showroom one has a little bit more ooommph than this.

Not too bad. Seems a little more conservative without the wheel arches, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe they’ll bring back the arches for the presumed 400HP version, if that ever becomes a thing.
Definitely in the market for one, wonder if they’ll offer a manual version.
Anyone know if the MK8 GTI is still using the IS20? Or is it a different turbo? Will the R use the IS38 or is it all together different? If they've changed could someone let me know what the new turbo is?
They all look the same now anyways. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a .:R, GTI, GTD or what not. Fugly looking regardless. Even if they put 400hp engine in it I’ll skip the MK8[emoji23]

Don’t think it’s an R. No side skirts, or removed, looks like you can see the holes for it, no rear skirt/diffuser, only 1 exhaust, wrong front, and looks like it’s parked in a apartment parking lot. And also nothing like the most recent testing pictures. I think more likely a test car for the gtd.

Come on...400 hp and you will skip it? What ever happened to, "it doesn't matter the looks, it's the inside that counts!" haha. But anyways, it seems you have the R 7.5. You need a few years to enjoy it. Wait for the MKIX
