Seeing as nobody else has asked, can we see some interior pics please?.....  :signLOL:
Looks pretty good, what's the engine like compared to the normal MK6 GTI?

The MK6's are gradually growing on me, but those alloys are just awful, Even wolfrace would be better imo!  :happy2:

apologies in not replying as been a bit busy the last week and in reality not had much time to drive it as we've been using the more door instead, thanks for the positive response  :drinking:

Yay. At last. Congratulations!! Looks an absolute stunner.  :happy2:

cheers Deako i was having second thoughts until i saw it in the sunlight

Nice new wheels and I like the fact the modding has started before its even 24hours old! :happy2:

cheers it would have been sooner if i didn't have to queue for petrol for 20 mins

Your a very lucky man Andy !! Awesome :happy2:

cheers Steve my wife says this to me every day, on the car front yes  :grin:

.
Looking forward to seeing it at the next meet - Hopefully April 12th  :drinking:

it should be making its forum appearance and need no excuses for taking it out for a drive


How much are these?  Looks better than the R

details can be found on the VW website fella, they ain't cheap but what is these days

Spammer alert :wink:

But don't forget my ride ...

It's not like I want any sweeties little boy or to stroke your puppies, just a ride.. :grin:

we'll have to sort a catch up with yourself and Nescafe Boy (when he's finished playing with your puppies)  :stupid:

That looks superb Wigit. Best colour IMO :happy2:  :drool:

The 19"s look great in honesty but not sure how the ride is affected or how the wallet will cope after tyre replacements...  :evilgrin:

always loved the mk6 in carbon grey so was an easy colour choice, friend of mine is building a mk1 cab in same colour so i am looking forward to a photoshoot

second choice was red

Very nice mate.  :happy2:

Very nice indeed Andy :happy2:

Lovely colour too  :congrats:

Lovely car Andy. great colour too. :love:

Lovely car Andy. great colour too. :love:

^^^ Exactly.  Lovely Andy  :notworthy:

cheers fellas have to admit colour is why i prob think the VRS looks good in the grey metallic, nice and understated  :happy2:


What a cracking car, Love the 35 decals. As standard, are they only on the wings and inner door surrounds?

correct 35 badges on the wings and door sills, i purchased a couple of oem wing badges for the dash and boot which are an outrageous £29 from the stealer

Loving it Andy.  :happy2: Congratulations, looks very grown up and classy.  :drinking:

i wanted something a bit more understated and that attracted slightly less attention than the rocco, grown up and classy is how i'd sum up the mk6 over the mk5 same dna through the wheel but feels a bit more refined  :laugh:

Gives me wood, plain and simple  :happy2: :drool:

take it easy Beddie you may need the cuprinol  :ashamed:

I see what you mean about the rims. I wonder if they'd be better off in a darker finish.

Love the car otherwise and congrats on the purchase. Any shots of the interior?

stealth they are noticeably darker than the Pirelli, i think if too dark the'd lose definition

Why was it at the dealer for a month, Andy?

Also, I concur with the above...more interior pics!!  :smiley:

Chris it arrived early at the dealers which caught me out, was meant to be build week 5 and was build week 3, i'd always banked on end of march pick up, in reality i wanted to shift the rocco first  :happy2:

engine wise Al its essentially the Ed30/Pirelli motor in the 35 rather than the TSI unit with the IHI turbo in the normal GTI (and my old rocco), for me engine is a cracker and was part of the appeal, coming from mapped cars the main thing you notice is the lack of torque in the mid range

i've always thought the mk6 had a more premium feel than the Scirocco and it does, it feels a better quality car in terms of how its put together, i am surprised how different in terms of cabin and engine noise it is compared to the Pirelli, has same GTI feel through road but feels a bit more grown up (which reminds me of the Mk6 R)

wheels are marmite but have a marmite mk5 sat on the drive, in reality it was brought for the engine  :happy2:

ok not the best interior piccies but a few:







its a somber place but my last two cars have had leather and black roof linings so i am used to it, i am a massive fan of the GTI seats in terms of comfort and sportiness, the bolsters keep you firmly placed despite the leather, i love the hexagonal patterns on the door and dash trim and the seat belts take you back to the 18s, i'll take some more over the weekend

Would love to get some Rig shots of this.

There was one identical to yours at the watford VW. It looked brilliant, but the interior is a bit boring.

Rather than on the wings could you get the 35 badges under the GTI badge on the front grill?  :smiley:
