How come you bought an American spec car for the UK?  Surely driving a lefty must be a nightmare  on UK roads?
This will change sooner than you think. We'll either become the 51st State of the United States of America which we nearly are in many ways, or really join the United States of Europe. Talk about a rock and a hard place. :evil: :grin:
Fecking hope not on both counts!!!

I got an American spec because I am American.  I am over here in the UK with the U.S. Air Force my job is to fix Fighter Jets.  I am not even close to being done with the mods.  I am going Stage 2 Revo as soon as they are able to crack the code on the American ECU over here.  It can take up to 2 months longer that when they released the mapping for the UK cars and mine being a 2011 and they just released the tune for them it will be a few months.  I am currently looking for someone that has the ability to VAG Comm my GTI for me soon.

It was the case with the mk5 and looking at the VW.com website gallery flash for the mk6 it too shows the less bolstered seats if they go for the cloth version but the euro type seats if they go for the leather.

I bought her here but I ordered it through a company that works with VWoA to take delivery here in the UK.  I took delivery 25 Sept 2010ß
