SOLD: 2011 GTI, 30K miles, 4 dr., M/T, White SOLD I am selling my GTI after purchasing a Honda S2000. Looking for $16,000. The car is in great shape -- while I've had it, I've traveled (via jet plane) and worked from home so it wasn't driven a lot. I put about 22,000 miles on it since...

FS: AFE Power Catback Exhaust - $250 + OEM OBO - SOLD SOLD This catback exhaust retails for $837. http://afepower.com/shop/details_new.php?partno=49-46405& It's in perfect condition. Only selling because I am selling my car and figure most buyers will not want an aftermarket exhaust. The...

SOLD $180 (will ship at buyer's expense) I am selling a Schroth Quick Fit (quick-release) racing harness. This has only been lightly used during autocrosses and a single track day. It is in perfect condition. A couple of links to the item...

SOLD I recently purchased a set of OEM side skirts for my 2011 GTI because the passenger side one was damaged. I have no need to replace the driver's side side skirt so this one is up for sale. The box was opened to take out the one I needed but the driver's side side skirt was never removed...

I've been researching catback exhaust systems for my 2011 GTI and I'm a complete noob on the subject, so please forgive my ignorance. There are a lot to choose from so I am trying to find some desired attributes in order to narrow down the choices. One thing I read about was the differences in...

Alright, I've done the necessary Googling and not found an existing post so here goes: I bought some Enkei RPF1s from Tire Rack and they were nice enough to include a set of plastic hub centering rings. The fit is great and I've had no bumpiness. However, I change these wheels often as I only...

These do have a few dings that are visible when holding them in your hand or up close but shouldn't be noticeable while on the vehicle. I took some more detailed pictures, focusing on these. I never put these on my car but in my opinion, it looks like normal wear for the front end of a vehicle.

I purchased the four white grille stripes from this build page: http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28264 Some pics from that page: and then a friend of mine talked me in to keeping the red. Nothing wrong with the white ones I received and it wasn't a case of putting them on...

I replaced 3 items recently, one of which was the rear VW emblem. I found a credit card difficult to use but a razor blade gets in there nicely. After getting it popped up a little bit, I made the mistake of switching to a screwdriver, which scratched some of the car's paint around the edge of...

While installing a Whiteline 24mm rear sway bar yesterday, I overtightened one of the bolts that goes into the bushing bracket (top one on driver's side bushing bracket). Used a ratchet that was too long for the job. The head snapped off cleanly but the remainder of the bolt is still in the...

Have seen folks ask about the proper sizes for speed bleeders on vwvortex and the mk5 site but not on here. I installed Speed Bleeders on all 4 brakes today and can confirm that the SB1010S is a proper fit for the brakes. Per the folks at speedbleeder.com, the size for the clutch bleeder should...
