Which bits would you nick from the R for your GTI?
« on: 26 September 2009, 10:32 »
There are many parts I actually prefer on the GTI (front fog lights, black side skirt, wide split exhaust pipes, etc), but these are on my shortlist for when the R part numbers become available in a few weeks :drool:

1. black xenons


2. front splitters (if they are separate and fit the GTI skirt)


3. and of course, the rear LED lights


Anything I have overlooked? Don't say the engine :wink:

agree re: the rear lights, but i'm not overly fussed about them.

the LED DRLs are quite nice and the alloys are the other thing i could be tempted by.  At the same time, I do think that I want to keep my GTI pretty much as is since I want to retain the GTI character

Only the LED's. there's nothing else on the R that I wish was on the GTI.


GTI mk6, 3dr Manual (Yes Manual! If I wanted a Taxi I'd hail one, not spend £1500 on one), Candy White, Full Leather, Xenons, ACC, 18", RCD510 + Dynaudio, DAB Radio, Winter Pack, Luxury Pack, Fiscon Bluetooth Plus, Golf R LED's.

1)Rear LED lights
2)Rising Blue paint colour (i wish that had been available on the GTI :sad: ).
+) I would take the wheels from the scirocco but have them with the correct offset.

Nothing else interests me, the GTI+xenons does everything else i want and need.

I'd like to add another vote for the blue paint.
And the rear lights.


I quite like the blue needles too, and the colour of the stitching on the leather bits, and the dash trims, and the front bumper that doesn't have silly Dracula fangs and ............

Tail lights, but prefer the GTI xenons.
Rising blue paint.
Maybe the 19 inch wheels but I think BBS's will suit the GTI better.
Custom LED DRL's instead of fog lights.

I prefer the front bumper on the GTI, but like the cleaner rear bumper on the R with the reflectors in the diffuser - except with wide-spaced exhausts.
