Might be a worthwhile idea having this thread up, so that when everyone gets their cars or for the people that have their cars already they have a place to keep all of their mods and add-on idea's for the MK6 that they may be buying.
I'll start off with these little babies, a nice quiet classy touch.

Lol, I have just bought a pair of these off German eBay. TBH, I was pretty skeptical about the quality before I ordered, but I thought they would make a nice change from the usual kickplates on the door sills and I could always bin them seeing as how cheap they are. They arrived the other day and... wow, they are really good quality. Thick brushed aluminium and they actually look OEM (which is a must for me). The only slight problem is that there is no adhesive tape supplied, so I will probably have to use SuperGlue, or else the tape will be invisible through the lettering. Still worthwhile, though, IMO :)

They were made by a user on the mk5 forum... :grin:
Became so popular that he started to produce and sell them online :wink:
p.s. little bit of blu tac did the job for me

BluTac sounds good, thanks :) Just wondering: do they scratch your hands while you pump the lever (I'm talking about raising the driver's seat here, in case you missed the start of the conversation! ;))

not as far as im aware, must check to see if they are still even there :huh:. Do add a nice subtle touch as you open the front doors though :smiley:
I know a few others used red sticky tape so the sections between the lettering were then red in true gti fashion :wink:

What else are you guys planning to add ?
Mats for me for sure, and my maybes are door sills and foot rest.

I like very subtle - almost invisible - mods. I would most love to find a bright white/xenon-look replacement for the weird H15 DRL bulb at the front, as the stock bulbs are really yellow. I will probably also get an OEM bootliner and maybe some luxury mats if I can find some nice ones, but that's about it, unless I go for a remap later on.

You can turn the DRL's off but once they are off they cannot be activated again (according to a loval tuner with VAG.COM). Replace the sidelight bulbs with Philips Blue Vision and drive around with those on instead. i think it will be a long time before an aftermarket H15 comes out. Also fit Bluevision for headlamps and fogs, nice look. As for the remap.........
-
Yeah I ordered some of those seat inserts from rich351golf on e-bay. I've seen a post on mark5 forum where someone used red insulating tape under the letters to make them red and double sided tape.
There's a pic of them and they look stunning.
-
Hmm, must try and dig out that pic...
-
just search 'seat inserts' and you'll see the pics with red. just ordered some!
-
will this invalidate my warranty? :smug:
-
anyone got anything planned yet ?
I see the GTI badges are getting popular, I've ordered mine tonight.
Just need to find some nice bespoke gti mats, preferably with red stitching.
-
Do I need to tell my insurance company??
-
Matts? Thats not a mod :laugh:
Remaps, exhausts, wheels etc are mods :cool:

Great place for GTI mats here. Nice Red rim round the mats too.

Ive sprayed my sideskirts white. Had a dirty plastic color down the sides. same as that round the exhaust. Perhaps the tools at VW added it with the mudguards i didn't want. However looks the sh!t now. Will post photo's up soon

Cool, please do.
Someone posted a great set of mats on another thread but I cant find them for the life of me, think it was ones with red stitching round the edges.
-

Only 1 thing on the cards - a Milltek catback, which hopefully should be arriving next Friday!

I would be interested to see your pix. Did you colour-code the rear diffuser as well?

Are they available to buy ?

hmm - not sure... the mats look very light, almost grey, vs the rest of the trim. perhaps the flash too bright?
-

Yes, they are available as an accessory. Not to my personal taste, however, a little OTT, IMHO (no offence) :smiley:

Those mats looks LHD specific though?

According to the car specs they should still come as standard!!

Yeah, the flash was a little too bright... but its not that light grey in reality. Looks fine naturally and I like the GTI logo in red. It blends with the plastic bits which is grey as well. And yes you can order them from your stealers.
And yes its for LHD configuration since I am in the Netherlands...

Sh!t, you found the part number!! :smiley: Going to dealer straight after lunch to find out cost & order :drool: :drool:
-
I heard that they are not Plug & Play, you need some kind of a adapter (don't now how you call that in Englisch) to connect...........i cannot confirm that.
-
The computer might show blown bulbs if the current drawn by the LED's is less. I'm sure VAG-COM can address that.
That's if they become available for RHD cars, of course. Otherwise you'll be swapping the fog and reverse lamps over.
-

OK, thanks for the warning. I'm going to my dealer in a few minutes to see about the price, but knowing them, they won't be able to confirm whether or not you need an adapter (I enjoy showing them that I know more about the lates VW accessories than they do, though, lol :smiley:)
-
These have to be an added extra at cost when they appear on the configurator etc, if VW charge for a flat tyre indicator now, then they are gonna charge for these.
-
Just back from the dealer and - surprise, surprise - they don't have the reference number on their database yet :sad: The standard lights are about £200 for all four parts, but he couldn't tell me how much the LEDs would be (I would guess about £250-270). He said that VAG COM could probably sort out any OBC glitches associated with the LEDs.
Disappointed :cry:
-
I read om motortalk.de that the connection will not fit, that's why we need an adapter........
-
You're probably right, my dealer doesn't really seem to be up to speed on brand new stuff like this :sad:
-
The thread on motortalk.de does suggest a wiring loom adapter will be needed... it also suggests that the LED's will be standard fit on GTI/GTD from build week 45 onwards - in Germany anyway.
-
They are sweet but is there anything really wrong with the standard ones? I'm all for mods but this ones seems of little return for the cost?

Ooooooo, mines week 48, here's hoping :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Are there any pictures or videos of the mk6 with the LEDs on anywhere ?

Nothing at all wrong with the standard ones. But for the price, which is little over the cost of a flat tyre indicator, I know which one Id rather have.
-

Only ones I've seen off the top of my head are the GTI Worthersee and the R.

After visiting IAA Frankfurt it seems that there are 2 different LED taillights.
On the R20 they were much darker, more black.............maybe that's why you have an "K" or an "R" at the end of the part number..........

can you but them now ?

Curiouser and curiouser... Must get to the bottom of this. €300-350 fitted seems about right to me. They look sweeeet :drool:

Will get them myself then. If its anymore than £300 I wont bother.

Don't forget you'll need 'RHD lights' in the UK, otherwise the fog light will be on the wrong side.
-
does anyone else not think this is all a bit of a con? having only picked my car up earlier this month its now clear that from build week 45 they will have different (and better) lights at the back - surely the dealer should have told me this when i ordered/should be retrofitting these for free for me when they're available?

Course it is mate, but we cant do diddly squat about it.

i don't know whether cause its hot in my office, but i'm f7cking outraged at this. i don't give a toss about keyless entry and ignition (i prefer having a key) but those lights are a marked improvement on the only 5 month old mk6 gti lights. how can they justify changing them so quickly? why not do it from the start? i feel conned and f7cking livid. do we know when these are available to get fitted as i'm gonna try and get my dealer to do it for free. i didn't pay 27k for it to be out of date after less than a month!! :angry:

They'll probably tell you the specifications are 'subject to change' - like in the brochures. Anyway, these LED's might not even become available to RHD markets. The Mk5 LED's never did - people who did retro-fit them had to take them apart and rebuild themselves.

Ok, just off the phone to VW customer care. The woman there had no idea (litterally as she asked me whether my Golf GTI was petrol or diesel !!), so she spoke to her colleague and they were unaware of any changes. They checked their updates from VW and theres nothing on any paperwork to suggest that the UK market is getting these lights, or keyless ignition.
Considering how daft the woman came across, I called my local stealer (Breeze VW Bournemouth) to see what they know, and they were unaware of any changes either.
They did comment that build week 45 is around the same time that the Golf R goes into production so there could be some confusion. They also commented that the cost of the R would be circa £25k before extras ....which makes me ask why I brought the GTI !!
Hope this helps,
Regards

thanks for the update dude. i feel a bit better now as i was well hacked off with that light situ. sounds like a right moron on the phone though lol. as for the golf r being 25k, that is balls, its gonna be 28k min imo - your dealer is talking sh1te :laugh:
cheers for the info!
-
Ta for the info. :smiley:
-
Calm down ladies. Of course there is always something better 'just around the corner' and there will always be people that 'just bought before the new one' but that's life otherwise nothing would progress.....
I personally like my lights, not that fussed about them to be honest.....
-
25K for the R?
Put my name down.
-
You won't get anywere with VW customer service complaining about the LED lights its normal for VW to change spec every 6 months or so, they did just that with the mk5 GTI, removed things added new etc, etc. They may even just say to you its a change to co-inside with the price rise.
-
If they come out for RHD then I'll defo be getting the LED upgrade.

Why is the owner using his GTI to carry 300kg of cement around?

i'm all for bigger alloys but as frog said it looks like the klumps are sitting in the car. the wheels don't fit properly in the arches. plus agree with kev - no xenons = not right.

Another mod I have discovered whilst browsing a German forum is to replace your tailgate gas dampers with ones from a Skoda:
Gasdruckdämpfer p/n: 6YO 827 550 C
They are identical in shape/size/fittings to the Golf but have a slightly higher preload and will push the tailgate open when you pop it with the remote. Handy if you're at Tescos, parked far away from the door (thanks to the mums/kids/differently-abled), your hands are full of shopping and it's pouring with rain.

bloody hell, 9 pages of discussion on some rear lights, then someone posts a pic of an actual modded mk6 and it gets called slated.
thought this was a mod thread, not a what little OEM part can i replace on my golf with another OEM part thread :grin:

just in case it hadn't been confirmed - from the vw.de Konfigurator - LED's are now standard

If mine got built this week, do I have a chance of the LED's being on mine ?

All indications are that this mod is from build week 45, i.e. Nov 2nd. And I haven't been able to confirm it is the same for RHD cars - I had a conversation with Hella in Germany and they are getting back to me next week.
-

Doubt it, take a close look at the small print at the bottom of the volkswagen.de configurator:
"UK customers: we pretend to like you, but the reality is that we have never completely forgiven you for the thrashing you gave us in 1944. We continue to sell you our cars, but only insofar as we make money out of you. However, there is no way we are going to make a special RHD version of these LED rear lights for you, so get lost"

Would lights be classed as a minor change ? I'm not so sure. Ok its no Engine change or Brakes, but its still a fairly important part of the car to change, is it not ?
-
" have seem a bulletin this week about build week 46 cars onwards will have "Cherry Red Taillights", however there is no picture so what that means I don't know!!
There are a couple of other changes as well, very little though tbh"

Agreed. It looks cool, but only because nobody has it. I also have had this feature on a couple of saloon cars I've owned and, apart from 'showing off' and/or admiring it a couple of times, I never actually used it for real. They say it's for when you have your arms full of shopping, but how often does that happen and anyway your keys are invariably in your pocket, meaning you have to put the shopping down in the first place to get them out and press the button.
A tempting, but ultimately rather pointless mod, IMHO :smiley:
-
it can be useful when you're in an airport car park, forgotten where you put your car and you want it to "put its hand up"!! :laugh:
but seriously the currrent boot release is even more pointless. you have to lift the handle anyway to open the boot and that act unlocks it at the same time. hence i use the standard boot release even less!

"UK customers: we pretend to like you, but the reality is that we have never completely forgiven you for the thrashing you gave us in 1944. We continue to sell you our cars, but only insofar as we make money out of you. However, there is no way we are going to make a special RHD version of these LED rear lights for you, so get lost"
:cry: but at least it'll be a proper 'I bought LHD LED taillights and modified them for RHD' mod.

I'm just not getting it sorry, whats the diff between a lhd light and a rhd light ?

The fog light is on the other side.

Cherry red rear lights has always been standard for GT model, mentioned in brochure and been on cars since first introduced. They do look good.

Hi all
Sorry to go back over all ground, but is the boot mod easy?
IE the skoda parts, stick em on, and hey presto? Is the "sticking on" bit easy?
I rather fancy it, I trust myself to not open it where there is a low roof
All help much appreciated
Cheers
PS any idea how much they cost?

I lifted the part number from this thread on motor-talk.de.
http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/heckklappe-automatisch-oeffnen-mit-fernbedienung-es-geht-doch-t2406190.html?page=15 (http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/heckklappe-automatisch-oeffnen-mit-fernbedienung-es-geht-doch-t2406190.html?page=15)
He suggests that the skoda dampers are a direct fit. However, since I last looked there has been a lot more conversation on the subject. A bit further on in the thread, there is some uncertainty whether the p/n given has enough force to open the hatch under all temperature conditions... there is also some unanswered concern regarding the long-term effect of the additional force on the latch mechanism.
There is an alternative mod which I've seen done on the Mk5 with a couple of springs and some shrink-wrap. Can't recall where I saw it though - might have been vwvortex.com
-
Dammit, nowt's ever simple is it, 36 pages of discussion about it all in German!
I did a degree in it 12 years ago, and still can't work out whether its an easy job or not, or whether it'd work, or just break the boot!
When I press the boot opening key fob switch, it still seems to me that you have to manually click the boot open with the VW badge, so with that in mind I don't get how any springs could open it, but that said, am no modding genius.
I'll just stick to research for now, until someone of authority can help me, no rush, only had it a week!

Guys, I'm looking for a smart set of door sills. Don't want anything chavvy, boy racer or flash. Just something smart. Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

I've been looking for a while, there doesn't really seem to be anything nice out there but let us know if you see anything. Weird that VW aren't making some as i had some sweet ones in the Scirocco.
-
Mk5 ones will probably fit. The Golf R will have them and VW will probably do a set in their R line range of accessories. Every time I check on the VW website it says 'new accessories brochure coming soon' so hopefully the delay means more mk6 stuff being added.

hmm.. doesn't quite look right. the sills aren't deep enough to carry the look off.

Agreed, and they're also in a place where you would rarely scuff anyway. I prefer the ones that go on the plastic trim on the top, though given that part is probably only a few quid to replace, protecting it with expensive brushed aluminium plates seems a bit like overkill.
-
not to mention that the plastic bit is rough and not flat so you couldn't put a kick plate on it anyway... unless you wrap a bit of foil over it! :laugh:
tbh the plastic bit does seem to get dirty quite easily, though nothing a wipe with a wet cloth won't sort.

Thanks for the part numbers... but £500 a set?! I'm not sure if that's correct actually; when I enquired at my dealer, the stock non-LED light clusters were half that price :huh:
-

You would think so, but somebody posted pix of stick-on plates for the plastic covers a few days ago, and I thought they looked ok (but, as I said, pointlessly expensive, given the cost of the part they are supposed to protect).

I think they are the mk5 GTI ones. I hope the mk6 GTI are different. I personally wouldnt want any of that boy racer style sh!t on my sills.
-
Most sills would be the same apart from the writing obviously. What do you think would look smart?
-
just found this on the new golf r - still not really a fan since i tend to step onto the plastic bit so this would be for show only.

What Keelaw just posted, thats a smart-ish set of sills. Not the best design though.
-

Looks closer to a MKIV font. Either way it's the wrong font for a MKV or VI. :nerd:
-
All depends what you want
If you want some style then the R ones have it, but they offer little in the way of paintwork protection
If you want protection on the cheap then Lockwood at under £30 a set are a bargain, and you have options for plain, single line or line with font.
With a 7year old and a dog clambering in i want some protection, maybe i'll just fit the lockwood rears and use paint protection film for the front sills ?

i'm sure i had these sills on my mk 5 - my memory is so bad lol - but they were all capitals (proper ones). they probably fit a mk 5 but i wouldn't have them as its not in capitals. only the best for our mk 6's!!

It was GTi on the Golf back in the day too, wasn't it?
Don't know when people started making the i a capital.

I came across a bit abrupt in my typing style there i did not meen to be sorry :sad: . I was just thinking it may have been Peugeot that had it in small iirc.

Thats whats wrong with half of the people that don't have a mk6. Most come on to bait, leave little comments and basically troll the section. The people that know who will react are worse. Then when someone does react to the sh!t thats posted, its the person that reacts thats in the wrong ? You're living on another planet if you think thats the case.

Just to clarify the mkvi units shown currently on the lockwood site are a first stab, they have taken numerous measurements from a mkvi car now and their revised stepped sill covers will be available at month end. Vw have lots of options but their equivalent is about four times the price of lockwood.

Nah, I forgot to renew my .com domain, so it'll be down for a couple of weeks while I try to rectify things.

Yeah you can buy them online.
Edit: Here you go http://www.aestheticreations.net/ (http://www.aestheticreations.net/) apparently you can get them off ebay.com as well
Did you buy them..if so do they match the original button text colour...it said SILVER...I think grey is the original colour...
I am very tempting since stupid VW gave me 4 out of 5 blind buttons...and I ordered ALL the options so what does it take to get those 4 buttons "alive"... :sad:
-
No I never ordered them, just stole it from another site.

I had been looking at those button stickers. I really fancied having a button that fired bananas but it would be disappointing that it didn't actually work. also £7 quid seemed a bit steep for them.

Might it be an idea if there are some of us wanting the stickers to share it?

Only problem wiyh that is that i'll bet you want the "EJECT" one too!!! :grin:

And the "Missiles" and the "Launch" and the "Sonar".... :cool:
Hell maybe I order them...but I am still not sure that they match perfect....otherwise it will look (more) ghastly...
BTW does anybody have a link to contact the guy....no harm in asking... :evil:

Na tbh the only ones I really want from the pics I saw are the bananas and perhaps the mushroom one (from good old Mario Kart).

see if you order them Erik give us a wee shout and I might take some of the ones you dont use off you for some of the price. If that sounds good to you.

No problem.
Tell you what,..... if you get me in touch with this guy or you can somehow confirm they are spot on the same as the VW "ESP" sign already on, I will order and sent you the other ones you need for free. :wink:

...actually not at all but it beats blind buttons .. :sick:
.I hate them so much thatin the past I even ordered the spec underneath it.. :smiley:..that is why I am pissed off that despite ordering EVERYTING out of the brochure I still end up with blind buttons.... :shocked:
So now I it is time to take control....if they make me more mad...... I wil build the f*cking missiles myself....so the buttons will even work.. :evil:

You are quite capable of building ICBMs. Of this I am sure.
Is your car a 3 door or a grown-up 5 door?
What bits 'n pieces have you stuffed into Sharky apart from the sensors?
-
It is a 5-door... :wink:
Believe me the extra-list is long....the dealer could not find an other extra for compensation and stated you already have everything so we had to invent a remap...(IT WAS MEANT TO BE :cool: :cool: :cool:....the rest is history.).. :evil:
However i have got only 1 text on the 5 buttons...ESP....
Hell I even had my tire tension on the 2nd button...in the MK V..I honestly do not know where that went...I even searched the glove compartment....
Who has all the 5 buttons with text...?????
Executive plus package (RNS510), light and vision package, winter package, Park Distance, Rain sensors, Camera, Mirror lights and folding, VW carkit, Mediabox, leather, seats heating, chair drawers, dark windows, DSG, 18 inch Detroit alloys.......that is what comes to mind right now.....NO XENON (too late)

Okay a few simple but better looking and practical mods.... :cool:
First off all:.... the crappy cupholders in the back...I closed the lid...drilled 2 holes and placed a BBB bike-bottle holder and bought a "Camel-bak" 500 ml bottle (meaning a very simple one hand operation during your steering).. :evil:
My wife and I are heavy drinkers...wine at night but loads of water during the day (we run a lot so thirsty athletes :grin:)...

Is that compulsory only in The Netherlands or is it other countries as well. I've never seen one in the German hire cars I get.
-
The specs holder is somewhere else, near the overhead reading light and microphone housing. The area where your specs are is for reasonable sized bottles where the bottle opener divides the space.
Fiddle away: I love it too! :wink:

I tought it was a shaver especially in grey! No really!

Apart from the lifehammer, i don't really see the point of what you've done, just put your shades where they are supposed to go in the overhead storage box and put your drink in the cupholder where you've put your shades, or am i missing something??? :huh:

I know the lifehammer is since 1 january 2010 compulsary in the Netherlands...it has to be placed within reach (that makes somehow sense :laugh:) and it is used to hammer the window down or cut your safetybelt...it is obvious it can safe your life so I keep them (others take the risk to get a ticket...or worse)...but it HAS to look good...
In the most beautiful Bentley-car show rooms you see this ghastly orange or yellow glowing plastic thing mounted...one for you and one for your passenger...
The spec holder above your head I really do not like... :wink:

Mine Mods are just simple ones;
Dark R LED's.
Reverse camera in badge
LED interieur lights under dashboad and seats from Passat CC
Things to do: carwrapping the roof glossy black

I think I paid also such an amount for extra GTI rear leds..but at least I had a choice.....as apposed to other GTI owners who had to spend the double amount now since their car was too early delivered for a led spec... :sad:

Very very very very very tempting i must say! :tongue:

I had a look at my rear lights yesterday and there is a small gap under the outer lights! so not really an issue with the LED's as i first thought, i can see this car costing me an arm and a leg! I wish i'd gone for DSG as i could do without 1 leg! :grin:

Sorry guys,

Hope someone can help me and have a part number for me, i really liked it

I bought one of these too, but I haven't fitted it. The stitching is red on the GTI and black on the golf ball knob's gaitor. I looked at swapping the gaitors over but the GTI one didn't look like it would fit neatly round the skinny collar of the golf ball knob. :cry:
So if anyone wants to make me an offer....... :grin:

The Edition 30 ''gearknob'' costs about £200+ from UK dealers Erik :shocked: Rare second hand now, so they still fetch over £100 when they do crop up for sale.
The golfball knob we've just mentioned costs just over £100 from a dealer (and much much less from me!)

Evening Sunday!
Did you have any problems with Byte 18 when your LEDs were coded and fitted?
Snoops has raised this issue on the LED thread.
BTW: What was your BW, please?
PS: Like your knob, but it is not for me as I had a full metal ball with my type R and I continuouly had strange feelings in my palm (!) when changing gear. Besides, it was bloody cold in winter.
I really don't want to be reminded of that bone-shaker. :sick:
-
No one yet is reporting problems except a couple of early 09 cars who have had to use a different code from what i have read, but when ross-tech put a question mark about byte 18 on there info thread until they find out more, with mine im not going to touch anything to do with that byte. Others may take the risk and preach its fine but until ross-tech come back with info from questions they have asked VW i myself will be taking no risk. Funny as it was me who kept showed the german threads on what to change in the first place and i have come full circle :undecided:

Thanks Snoops. I'll start celebrating with a glass of fine red! :smiley:

Mine's a late 09 and i've had no problems at all with byte 18, SteveP knows his stuff and dont think he would be doing all these group buy's if people were going to have problems.
Must admit the Edition 30 gear knob is a lot lot better than the golf ball one ive just bought and will end up buying one but will have a look around first as £190 is quite a lot for a gear knob.Especially as ive just paid £70 for the GTI mats from the dealers (dont tell the MK4 squad as they will start another thread about £70 mats! ) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I have 100% confidence in Steve so I have no worries at all.
I love the Ed 30 gear knob very much. It is a work of art.
I wonder if someone can start a group buy?
Maybe I should go to my dealer and try and prise a sustantial discount on a buy of a dozen and post the result on the forum? What do you think?
Hmm .....
-
When i spoke to my dealer about the edition 30 gear knob and almost fainted with the price he reckons the gear knob costs them £150+vat and he only makes £10 on it so no discount is available.
Smells like BullSh1t to me!

They probably buy it for at least 33.3% below list. They make huge profits on accessories.

Trying my first Crackberry post. Love the GTi button. Are these buttons lit? Will buy this one at least.

Which ones are you getting?
I think I will go for the GTi one and stick it between the ACC and Parking Buttons.
On the other hand, I'd like to move the Parking Button all the way to the right, and fill the 2 empty spots with the VW and GTi buttons. Full house then! :wink:

I think I will go for the GTi one and stick it between the ACC and Parking Buttons.
On the other hand, I'd like to move the Parking Button all the way to the right, and fill the 2 empty spots with the VW and GTi buttons. Full house then! :wink:
How come you have a parking button when your car is a manual

To turn the parking sensors off methinks :rolleyes:

Front and rear sensors.
When I engage reverse, the radio volume turns down to zero, and I hear different beep tones from the front and rear. Also, shows on the radio screen though I never look at this. So easy to park the car.
PS: Oh yes, as Neil said earlier, to turn them on and off. Damn I lost the thread of the thread of the question! Sorry Gizzy!

I think you probably have to approach this differently....
Something like... you buy a standard cheap (1/2 - 2/3 "our" GTI/R price) new or second hand Golf as a youngster with a particular ..uhhh..lets say different taste...and they want their car to look like this "flagship"....ahum...a few leds and a bit of paint :tongue:
Golf tries to cover the broadest audience in car history...you might be amazed....anyway the Golf manages to be always in the news be it with good or bad designs.....as long as you are talked about...you advertise.... :wink:.
