New 2006 Gti Owner - Hertfordshire, Hemel
« on: October 11, 2010, 09:54:03 am »
Hi guys, thought I'd introduce myself. First time owning a VW of any kind (always been BMW/Audi/Subaru/Evo etc in the past).  Got myself a 2006 Gti, had it three days before I threw on a few little mods  :happy2: :happy2:

76k miles,
Remapped by CNL remapping
Apex springs
Drilled and grooved front discs
Red-Stuff pads
15mm TPi hubcentric wheel spacers on rear, 10mm on front
Brand new falken fk452 tyres all round on monza 17in wheeels
New style 'R' badge next to the Gti on the rear  :booty:
German style plates (not shown in the pics)
Ipod connection with upgrade speaker system 10 speakers
ESP
Tyre pressure sensors
Auto dip rear view mirror
Rear Parking sensors
Very tight quick car, amazing engine!

Very nice looking car, be interested to see how the ride height looks after the springs settle.  Looks like you also have the rear parking sensors.

Hi and welcome.

Am on iphone so can't see the pics clearly enough. Are the sensors flush with the bumper or do they stick out? if the latter, they're probably retrofitted.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Hi guys  :laugh:

The parking sensors do sit proud of the rear bumper, just found the control box is kinds loose in around the spare wheel so cant imagine they are factory fit!
