If it's just the looks then go for the aftermarket xenon style lights which are a simple fit.
I ended up buying another GTI a couple of years ago after really regretting getting my first mk6 without xenons. I work shifts so driving in the dark is done all year round for me and good lights are paramount.
It took me ages to find a nearly new GTI with xenons at the time but they are out there. Either that or save an extra few pennies and get an ED35 which has xenons and a bit more power (plus leather) as standard. It was touch and go for me whether to buy a new ED35 at the time (somewhat more expensive but a brand new car!) or hunt a xenon equipped mk6 'normal' GTI down. I opted to buy the 'normal' GTI with xenons as I'm in the minority here and prefer the newer engine as I'm not keen on the KO4 turbo (too laggy for me and uses too much fuel!!!).
Hold out for a xenon car, it's worth it.
Mine will be hitting the market (going in p/x in a month or so) soonish, wrong colour and too many doors though!!!
