When ordering your car, for Heaven's sake, spec Bi-Xenons and ACC. The former is hell to buy and retro-bloody-fit and the latter is practically impossible.
I specced ACC ( :smiley: clever+) but not Bi-Xenons ( :angry: :sick: stupid+).
Some might agree with this, others not.
Oh, Steve30, my friend, don't please say DSG too! :evil: :wink: :grin:

As ever I agree with Am1w both ACC (awesome piece of kit) and xenons (improve the looks of the car IMO and light up the road so much more) must haves.

Amanda, if you lived closer, you could be the love of my life. :kiss:
Then we could get Bonnie and Wolfgang to mate. :rolleyes:
The offspring would probably be a chimp - black body and red arse! :evil: :laugh:

OMG that image is hilarious :laugh: you sound like a chap after my own heart, however the thought of ever having to live in London :sick: :sick: :sick: :evil: :evil:

Dynaudio :grin:
-
Dynaudio :grin:
Yes of course that's a given :grin: the reverse camera is a nifty tool too.
-
You both are soo cheeky. Love to have a little seductive pinch of them. :grin:
-
Bonnie and wolfgang, sounds like they should be in porn! :grin:
-
+ sunroof and DSG is a must (you don't see lewis hamilton driving with his knob in his hand - Nicole does that for him).
-
Well Jimble, Bonnie has a camera up her arse and can make and direct her own porn! I just don't want Wolgang's knob to become an international exhibit or worn out. It's only been refurbished recently. :rolleyes: Besides, Wolfgang has some very effective frontal sensors. Clever boy!
Must sort out some protection soon.
It's rather nice I can have a bit of fun on my own thread! :cool:

He's got it made hasnt he the lucky B@57@rd - Not only is he an F1 driver, loaded, but he's got Nicole to do that for him!
I'd say 18" wheels should be standard on the MkVI too - i think the 17" look great on the MkV (like mine - biased) but the MKVI just suits the bigger wheels - I know Snoopy might disagree - no offence intended!
-
OK, Martin. I know I have a seriously big and beautiful knob. But I am damned if anybody apart from myself will consistently manipulate it or critisize its action. :smug:
Once I finish all the sensible mods, the only thing that I won't have which I consider faintly acceptable, is a sunroof, and which I don't want as it clutters the inside roof. I use the climate control all the time. I need to due to very serious sinus issues. I am quite sick and off work due to this at present.
As for Dynaudio and leather ... pah. :evil: :grin:
I've got a sub-woofer and fabulous Jacara cloth which is the talk of the town! :tongue:

TBH the sunroof does'nt clutter the inside of the roof at all, it is all very neat and tidy slide open the blind and then you just turn the roof mounted knob (no smut please) and it either tilts or slides.

Ok Amanda dwarling, it is nice to air you views. I quite understand. Exhibitionist. :wink:
I am more into the hejab look, being from that part of the world. Oooooh, Yallah, I am going to be keeeeeeeeeelled now!!!!!!! :evil: :laugh:

xenons are VERY dear got sun roof and 18'' instead. collected today yay
also winter pack. give it another 3weeks and heated seats will be essential
-
Dont get any extras. they just add weight and slow you down :nerd:
-
If i was buying again this would be what i would get as a minimim and i don't normally spec cars high if at all over standard.
Parking sensors due to the shape of the front of the car.
ACC because of varied road conditions.
Xenons well its a 25K+ car so should have them anyway and i love the way they turn with the steering.
Sunroof lets so much more light inside and makes the cabin feel much bigger, and helps with air flow as i find the cabin can feel stuffy at times.

You don't see him getting anywhere first, either...

+ 1 Snoop's I totally agree with that. 18"s aswell though (you know it make sense).... :smiley:

Get our of here Ess.... Lewis is a legend, one of the most talented drivers in F1 and a former world Champion. The guys is a true racer. Better than that Coulthard from down your way..... :grin: :grin: :grin:

Are you mistaking me for a Scotsman?
-
Personally I feel they should have Xenons and ACC as standard on a £25k car.
Sunroof: I always spec'ed it in previous cars, hardly ever used it and they always rattled or caused extra wind noise. But I agree it brightens up a dark interior.
Yes, the front/rear parking sensors are a godsend especially in our mad work car park. Bloody pillars everywhere.
For me, the single most important option I spec'ed, which is near impossible to retro-fit, is ACC.

Yes mate..... a fair assumption seeing as your in Aberdeenshire. Obviously your not Scottish, so where are you from then?

+ Sunroofs look good on the car from the outside. There darkended the same as the rear windows which gives the car an overall nicer look imo :wink:
^ I'm just bigging up the sunroofs as I haven't got ACC and Xenons :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
Martin: I don't have a sunroof or Xenons. :cry: twice as much!
-
Martin: I don't have a sunroof or Xenons. :cry: twice as much!
Asker your quest for Xenon's I applaud.... but to be honest there an awful lot of money to retrofit and they sound like a pain to fit. If it were me, I'd rather spend the money on a nice set of BBS CH's alloys or VMR 710 alloys. Better value for money in imo :undecided:
-
You, my friend, have a wheel fetish. I love my Monza Shadows so no new wheels for me.
Contrary to what most people think, it is not that much more to retro-fit the Xenons than the factory order. About £150 more if that. But it is a PITA to fit but feel not much more than swapping wheels and tyres. Anyway, someone else will be fitting them whilst I watch and wait! :evil:
IMA, I love those Xenons to bits. :rolleyes:
-
... Actually, I'm now really obsessed. :sick:

Well if its any consolation I'm obsessed with finding the perfect alloys on mine. Yes I have a wheel fettish ( but I guess its better than dressing up in womens clothing or something ) :grin:

The perfect alloys for the MK6 are the Monza's :cool:
I don't believe that dressing up in womens clothing is the only alternative to having a wheel fetish :rolleyes: [although you do mention "or something"]
My fetish [if you can call it that] is keeping my car clean, I'm dreading the winter with all that salt and grit :angry:

A wise decision, I don't have a wife to borrow a Corsa off :sad:, but I've been thinking of buying a cheap car to use for the winter; done this in the past but it gets expensive [2x insurance, 2x tax, 2x servicing [and repairs on older cars]]

RickS, Imo its the Monza's Shadows which are more likely to take a hammering in the winter.... i.e. skidding into a kerb in the snow, damage from pot holes, corriosion from the salt etc..... maybe instead of buying a cheap run-around car with all the costs assoicated with it you should instead look at buying a winter set of wheels? That's what I brought the interlagos wheels for (I paid around £600 for them with decent new tyres from memory from a nice chap on the rocco forum). You could even buy some rep alloys or something??

^ and this would also satisfy my wheel fettish if you post some pictures :grin:

Give me some credit and some slack, please. I knew you would think that, hence I chose the name.
You do poUnce with the greatest alacrity. :grin:

What's a "bluebell"??
Nice I hope.
Think you start a new thread for this one.
-
Bluebell is a flower. But I'm renaming you Blue Velvet.(Fantastic Film)

I think you may have overdosed on that pain medicine. :wink: :grin: :laugh:

Like the idea of the username/personality thing though.
Up to you Amy, if you don't - someone else will....
Kev's made me laugh, really.

Am bedridden with terrible back pain. Could not collect my car today either. Oh well, they can keep it and see if the paint reacts.
So bored. The Forum helps the pain.

:grin:
Im guessing THE kev and VWkev are the same person or not?
<< Just for you :wink:
-
Back pain or bumper pain?? (Sorry, couldn't resist).
Hope you are better soon and can pick up and enjoy Wolfgang (still the best name ever for a GTI) again.
Get that new name/personality thread started while you have the spare time.
