Candy White GTi Build Thread
« on: 02 April 2014, 20:46 »
Hi everyone. My names Jamie.

I've recently purchased a 61 plate Candy White MK6 GTi with Jacara Cloth interior. I'm waiting on delivery (hopefully this Friday 4th April 2014) from an official Volkswagen UK dealer. The car has 15,000 miles on it, it's manual with 18" Monza Shadow wheels.

I have a few ideas for it already including 3" Milltek Exhaust system, an induction kit like a CDA one and a few subtle little mods including black wheels and roof.

Would love to hear peoples opinions or ideas for it. Anyway, heres a few pictures from the dealer.

(Please let me know if the pictures are to big or if i need to downsize the megapixels or something.)

Very nice  :cool: 

If you're looking for ideas re the roof, a forum member wrapped his roof gloss black recently and it looks fantastic.  http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=265141.0

Also a lovely carbon wrap here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=246903.1420. Scroll down

I've got the exact same car , I'll put a pic up later but mud flaps on it make it look so much better , not at all like a rally car.

Very nice! (but then I am biased)  unusual for a 61plate to have cloth, enjoy :smiley:

Changing the radio for a RCD510 or even an RNS510 (I just happen to have one to sell :wink:) would make the world of difference to the interior.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
