I wonder if I've missed the point of the R-Line?

When I was at the dealers they said it was "The Image of the R, but with the engine from the GT". Which made sense then, but looking at it sounds like rubbish. As in the main visual things between the GT and R, are the front bumper (seperate DRLS, bigger intake), rear bumper (left right exaust), and inside the gloss black trim and R badges. I mean visually there's not too much different.

But then the R-Line doesn't seem to have any of them. So hardly the "Image" of the R. Don't get me wrong, there's some minor bits, lack of side rub strips, but that's hardly a mirror image.

So to me it looks like a GT, but with a few more of the "options" as standard? Does that seem fair?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not worth it... just trying to work out if I missed something.

You've not missed anything. It's just a marketing exercise

R line kits have been out a while in the accessories brochure, just not as a factory order.

Personally, cant see the point in the R line; your better off stretching you finances and getting an R or being content with a GT.

So there's my point, what is an R-Line kit?

Why does it exist because the majority of these sold will be 170tdis
