My MK6 GTI

[Buck]

It's funny how you notice the pictures, the more I look at them now, I see it's an American car
Left hand drive, square plate surround and also those horrible side markers have been colour coded on the front bumpers
Was/had there been any issues with getting the Bi-Xenons aligned to sit on the correct side of the road?
Looks pretty damn sweet that matey, is it on springs or coilovers?

Dont the Xenons have a switch/lever to move them to be LHD compatible so that you can adjust them when/if you go across to Europe?

My mums old Mini Cooper S had that feature, I assume it must be the same for all of them? Don't know whether it'd just be a simple switch or not, would they not have to be checked by an MOT tester?

Very nice, looks great in that colour.

Looks very nice..Liking that 50mm drop.  Can clearly see it's a left hooker too    Isn't the US spec 200BHP and the TFSI out of the MK5, or am I completely wrong?

Yes I hated the side markers so I had to have the colour coded to match.  The Bi-Xenons were already adjusted when I to the correct side when I took delivery.  I am not on Coilovers the drop is all springs for now.  I will be getting Coilovers as soon as I get all the other modifications I want taken care of.  To give you all an idea of what I have done I will give you my list of mods.

If it's US spec it wouldn't have had the rectangular plate on in the first place.
It's probably got the seats for "larger" people too.

No we don't have larger seats they are the same.

The American spec Engine is the same TSI that is in the UK just more emissions restrictions so we loose some BHP.

Thanks for all the complements.

Krazy: You need to Sticky Kitt in Mods and Photographs. She deserves the respect and attention.
Are you are vying for the title 'Mod Emperor' and attempting to de-throne SteveP?

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.

Fecking hope not on both counts!!!

That is what I thought and said so on another thread but nobody with xenons confirmed. I was sure there was a setting in the MFD you could change if taking your car abroad. Or maybe it was through VCDS.
