I originally thought I would have fun with my GTI for about 2-3 years and then go back to a compact RWD; my previous car was AP1 S2000. I was looking to put a deposit down on an M2; but I just ended up falling in love with my GTI and decided to make it my project car. 8 years from now on, I want to be that cool 50 year old guy with a perfectly maintained MK6 GTI ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Being an architectural designer myself, the MK6's design I believe is almost perfect. I didn't even think about switching to the MK7 (no offense to who who have made that move).
My goal is to keep it as OEM as possible.
In addition to the euro front lip (not pictured), I have installed following items so far. Sorry - no grand pictures yet.
DEPO LED w/ Deautokey LED blinkers
OEM Rearview Camera
Sequential LED Turn Signal Lights
OEM euro cupholder and underseat drawers
Front and rear door puddle / logo projector lights
Mirror puddle light (Deautokey LEDs)
OEM RLS system w/ Satint Gobein Sekurit windshield (acoustic laminated). Leaving home and coming home features work great! So does the rain sensor.
Many of these mods have been done @ Dubclinic. I installed the euro cupholder myself; it was extremely difficult but fun.
What's next?
Probably lowering springs/shocks, rear stabilizer, euro chime horn, valved exhaust w/ VW-Audio OEM switch.
