dude , you've 'chaved it'.  why mess with a legend?  well not one that cost 24 grand.  let them pimp it out when a mark6 costs a few grand like they are with the mark 5 etc....  i wouldn't and couldn't custom mine- not a clever idea when u decide to sell up.
that bonnet is butt ugly.

Wow, this is stupid. A guy is trying to have fun and enjoy his car rather than winge that a bolt hasn't been fully tightened to the spec or any other balls a few of you keep going to the dealer for.

Keep going mate!

+1 Caistor and Erik.
Penguin is having fun and provides an enjoyable thread.

To be honest, I like everything you've done so far, with the exception being the bonnet.

That bonnet mod works on the MKV because of creases that follow a line up from the grill, all the way up the bonnet.

However, the MKVI's grilll/bonnet doesn't do that, but you could re-do the whole bonnet R26.R style, though!?

That mod will make you easier to spot around Glasgow, Penguin!  :laugh:

^^^ Couldn't agree more :afro:
MKV GTI | Reflex Silver | 5-dr | Anthracite 17" | Manual | Highline MFD | Cruise | Revision 'D' DV | Dirty Pipes |

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Thanks alot guys for the comments. Nice to finally be getting some appreciation  :laugh:

Nah only kidding. The reason I put it up is to hopefully encourage some of you guys to get up your own threads. I for one love reading the Dubs projects pages but I feel the mk6 section is sorely lacking some proper reading material. You defo don't need to do what I have done (mod wise) but get up some pics and some words about how you are enjoying your cars.

To those who have already been putting up some proper material thank you - it is nice to have wholesome threads to tuck into  :smiley:

Unfortunately I'll be deprived of sleep at that point and in France as I'm heading to see the Le Mans 24 before nipping up for a few laps of the Ring...

Gutted as we could have had a first meet of our AAM club  :laugh:
