Ride of the Month - Jeff's Reflex Silver MK7 Golf R - March 2022
Posted by Sean Kirk on Mar 1st 2022
Wait... Did we just say Reflex Silver MK7 Golf R??? But that wasn't an option here in the US...
Yes, you're correct. And that's what makes Jeff's Golf R special. This Golf R is actually a Canadian import that Jeff happened to stumble upon, as they were never offered in Reflex Silver here in the states. It's something that often goes unnoticed about his car, but will stop a few people in their tracks and make them scratch their head.
Jeff has been a long time car guy like myself, and is fairly local to us. I remembered him mostly for his Neon SRT4 ACR, which he still has to this day and is currently reviving. He also has another awesome project going on - a 1977 S30 Fairlady Z with an RB25 swap! He reached out to us when he decided to start modding the Golf R and we've been helping a lot on this one and look forward to seeing his car out this upcoming season!
