My 2006 Diamond Black Pearl GTi
« on: July 29, 2011, 09:41:31 pm »
Okay so I have had my GTi (first one) for about a month but I haven't uploaded any pictures as the dealer valet when I collected it was so bad that they have paid for it to be re-done. Thanks to Pro-Shine in Norwich she is now looking gorgeous so here are the first pics. She is a Diamond Black Pearl with 18 inch Monza 2's and rear tinted windows. Folding mirrors are the only factory option but hopefully the mods will come with time.







First external modification


Pictures of internal mods to follow although these were taken before the decent valet!!

Looks pretty nice, good pictures.
Most of the mods can be retrofitted relatively easily, so you haven't missed out too badly, and can put things on one at a time.

RCD310 with Iphone playing through MDI





Euro Cup holder was the first upgrade (a must have), I know you will all ask why the 310 and not the 510 ten but my pockets are only so deep with a new born and my wife has the 310 in her MK6 GTD with optical parking and it is more than sufficient for what we need. Just need to add the OPS now!!!

Only a minor mod but the seat inserts really look the part, going to have to get some of these  :party:

Lovely job on the rest of the mods too  :happy2:
