Because when i change something i always like the option of going back incase i don't like it. So i am waiting for a new badge to arrive.  :smiley:
Once you go black you'll never turn back..... :grin:

Once you do this you are ruined for everyone else! :grin:

Looking for something like this - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2270485.htm

That too me seems like a high price for a 09 plate. Its nearly 2 yr old with only a years warranty left.
Fair enough the guys done some mods to get it to 270BHp but still it seems a little high.

Its exactly the type im looking for though. Shame hes 300 miles away aswell

Alright guys,

Its fast becoming the time to ditch my beloved MK5 GTI for something newer.
Thinking about a 2nd hand candy white 3dr MK6 GTI.

Afew questions though.....

- Stage 1 remap increases? Whats available and costs?
- Rear lights? Whos changed them over for the "R" ones and cost?
- Any known issues?
- Any advise?

Cheers guys  :smiley:

My mk5 was great but my mk 6 is better in every way. A brilliant car.

With bluefin (around £450) stage 1 you can expect 260-270 bhp and about  100 gps.


(grins per second).
Mk7 GTI. DBP, DCC, Winter pack. Mine since new, July 2013.
GTI no. 4. Golf no. 5.  VW no. 7.
