sweet machine man, well ware feckin jealous

 

Wow that is really really nice! Wear well man

 

Lovely car in white.
Does it have a spare wheel by the way?

 

Thanks lads

Trevor - yeah, it does... exactly the same setup as the GTI, which I never used, useless skinny yoke

 

jelous............

 

Lovely car. Well wear man

 

That's a lovely bus. Looks the business in white.

Well wear.

 

Really nice car. White really suits it. The German plates will set it off nicely.

 

Me twin has arrived!!!!!!!!!

I like the front daytime running lights. Never knew they where available.
Defo gotta get a set of the rear lights for mine.

Well wear lad

 

LOL, thanks Danny! Yeah, the LED DRL's are standard with xenons now. They can be turned off via the MFD. Personally I like them, but I know they divide opinion strongly over on UK forums! The rear leds are lovely too. I believe they started fitting LED rear number plate led's from build week 22, mine was built the week before that so I just missed out... I'll probably try retro-fitting them sometime.

 

Its something that I've been wanting to do is retro fit all the lights to led or similar
for the exterior and interior. Are they available anywhere?

 

Lovely car man, well wear!

I was reading about the retro-fit of number plate LED's here: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=194966.0
It's an open question as to whether it causes dash bulb-out errors or not... waiting for someone with a MK6 to try it!

 

Smashing car!!!

They look well alright in the link. That someone to try it may well be me!!!!!

 

Very very cool man! Enjoy!

 

Very nice.

Well wear.

It probably looks even better in person.

How do you find the handling compared to the Mk5??.

Thanks Donal

It does look the biz in the metal... its hard to do it justice with my rubbish camera skills. I'm glad I went with white, people seem shocked that I did as I'm far from the shouty type!

I had the MKV for 4 years and it almost felt like a 2nd skin at this stage, I could nearly drive it with my eyes closed and i'd know where it would go

This does feel "different"... the steering seems lighter actually. It feels very planted... no scrambling for grip when I put the foot down like the MKV sometimes tended to do... it feels very assured... but then again, as I said, I really haven't pushed it yet. There's a nice growl from the exhaust too, doesn't seem diesel-y at all!

Interior is just leagues ahead in terms of quality, its early days but there's not a squeek in it, it feels very well screwed together, it's almost Phaeton-like

 

Lovely looking car well wear.

 

That is gorgeous! Best of luck with it.

 

Looks great and very well chosen spec, xenon was a good choice as standard lights on mine are poor on dipped compared to a mk5.
I'd get a sealant or coating on it as the back of these suck up dirt.

Enjoy the car and best of luck with it.

LOL yeah, it can be an expensive habit, these car forums!

I think it does have same suspension setup as GTI, not certain though, as maybe with the extra weight of the diesel engine there could be small differences. It does seem smoother on the bumps than I'm used to, again that could be a new-ness thing.

Thanks a lot Dave, yeah the xenons are great, make the car IMO. Pricey though and really should be standard at this level me thinks.
