Plenty of MK4 models but none specific to the R32 im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 If you can't buy one off the shelf you could always "mod" a lesser model! I've always wanted a 90s Vantage model but I can't find one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 If you find a supplier, please post here. I'm sure that there's 20-30 Mk4 R32 owners all looking for the same thing. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyR Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 someone at vwvortex said they have this http://cgi.ebay.ca/1-18-VW-Golf-4-R32-si...1QQcmdZViewItem but it doesnt say on the actual car that it an R, it just has the right body kit. MkIV GTIs look pretty similar but they have a different body kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyR Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 thats nice, but still doesn't tell me where to get one. How about getting a GTI and making it look like an R. Apparently though you can tell the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 It is simply not possible. I have been tracking a model since the Mk4 R32 first came out and had no luck. The best i found was a mint homemade verson on e-bay retailing at something silly like £300!!!! Good luck anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyR Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well, it's supposed to be a gift... any other ideas?? The person its for just bought a Polo (2002) TDI for commuting. But hey, I trust you people.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...A%3AIT&rd=1 Will this do? I can change the wheels and have extras made for it. The bumpers are slightly different though. But i figured he wont notice as the car will be sprayed from white to Diamond Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGK512 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 How much are silver ones ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calm Chris Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'd ask for a photo of the rear before you buy or bid for it. You need to see the pipe layout at the rear and see if that is ok or can at least be re-worked . Not sure where you will find Aristo Alloys of the same scale as the model Question has to be asked, what boots will you use Goodyear GSDF1's or Michelin OEM's Does any one know any professional modellers, a firm that might be interested in a group commission.

dogbucket Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 how about this one its got some bits right, yet so many wrong! actually I heard the new Herbie film had an R32 model to go with it, one might pop up on the US ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan32 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Spoke to model shop recently and even a standard MKIV Golf is difficult to comeby. Something to do with VWs licensing dept. Good luck finding something and tell us if you do because it seems worldwide, there is interest in this - on Vortex in the US the same question was asked and apart from something that some German guys actually made, nothing ever came of it. I think the answer you are looking for is, a model does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
