2012 CSG 6MT GTI Jansonchan226

My first MK6 is actually a 2010 GOLF. I am actually a huge fan of the scirocco and since the MK6's headlight resembled the scirocco, I went for it. I had great fun in that car even though it was an automatic. I did not consider the GTI at first because I had a motorcycle and decided to keep the car comfortable to drive. However, I sold my motorcycle and returned to the car scene. For the price I pay compare to the quality I get, the GTI was a clear choice (and i love the golf).The GOLF was my first German built car and I love how it drives. Since the motorcycle is gone and something gotta fill that void in me, I decided to see how far I can get with this car. Before I got on a motorcycle, I was into Japanese cars. Although many of you hate Hondas/Toyotas, I for one think they are brilliant manufactures. I had a 1993 Prelude SRV and a 2001 Celica GTS. Both were modified and they were fun to drive! Back to the GTI... I want to eventually end up at K04, the feedback on K04 is too tempting! But let’s not get carried away and start things slow.

Let the fun begin….



Blue Dome Lights + Red Foot Well Lights



LED License Plate Lights



SUV Mode



SUV Mode off. Lowered on H&R Sport Springs

It looks much better without the license plate, but too bad BC require front license plate.

Time for some serious POWER

Thanks man! I had a really hard time choosing the right wheels for the car.

I would love to get a similar setup on my CSG. That's gonna have to wait for a while I think
 
Nice work so far.

Toyota fan here also. Did you do anything to the Celica? I have an 03

Thanks!!
I had the GT and I engine swapped with a GTS motor. other than that an lowering springs, it was all cosmetic. I really liked how agile that car is at low rpm.



Sorry for the crappy pics..
