Welcome to the forum.

Looks like you've spec'd yourself a great GTI there. I'm sure it should have FRONT and REAR LED's.

Enjoy and Happy Birthday to your new car.  :smiley:

Make sure you post some pictures up of you new motor as its the law round here  :wink:

thank's guys and all i can say is WOW the car looks breath taking and flies like sh!t off a hot shovel tok a while for me to finish faffing about with the seat postion and lumbar thingy plus had to adjust the wheel aswell but wow.

Yep i have both rear and front led's and i gotta say the monza shadows look sooooo good up close the pictures really dont do em justice. just waiting for the camerea to charge as my missus has got the DSLR but i will have them up asap. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Nice car and you've definitely gone for the best colour  :grin:

Sadly for me those front LEDs do nothing for the car but WTF that's just my opinion.

Enjoy and watch your foot these cars speed up fast without you knowing  :wink:

Title: Re: Draven's GTI
Post by: Buck on 01 April 2011, 14:53
Where the metal badge says GTI it now is part painted rather than a textured metal with just the letters as silver.

I notice the DSG gear stick and ESP button have changed, here is mine

(http://www.thewindinglane.co.uk/images/mk6gti/misc/misc1.jpg)

And the RCD510 has the Highline display colour scheme as opposed to the Sportsline, maybe this is only an option on the RNS510

I'm with Gizzy on the front LEDs. Every time I see these in my rear view mirror they just look naff. On Audis they are just awful and they're now even on new style Mondeos. Cheap. cheap, cheap - they look like a revin' Kevin's modified Nova and do nothing for a class car like the GTi
Still, like Gizzy said, that's just my opinion.
The rears on the other hand I think look really smart.

No mate, as soon as i found out what was involved to change it i lost interest! :undecided: although i might consider it if i ever get round to getting cruise fitted, i just can't afford any mods really atm as my insurance and tax are up this month plus loads of other weddingy type stuff! :angry:
