What mods/upgrades have you done to your mk6's ?
« on: 27 April 2010, 09:48 »
Just wondering what you all have had done to your cars so far and what you thought of them.

LED's - Love them, of course you cant see them when driving but I know what they look like and they look fab.

Fiscon Bluetooth - Aint installed it yet, will be done this weekend.

Footrest - OSIR have made a top quality footrest, makes it look a bit nicer down there too.

Small mods : GTI seat badge and new Tax disc holder.

Think thats it so far, gonna get mats soon too.


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.

2) Tax disc holder, removal of dealer back window sticker, local dealer number plates coming soon so non of the supply dealers info on the car.
3) VW rubber front floor matts. Practical reasons and they fit and don't move.
