Well the plan was to buy an ED30, but being impulsive I went and bought this instead and have to say I love it.

Sorry for crappy pics, will do some better ones once private plate has been fitted.





'10 Candy White GTi with 18" Monza's, Vienna heated leather, parking sensors front & rear and mdi connection, also had a rcd510 fitted by dealer for £100 which I thought was pretty reasonable and got to keep the original unit, so happy days.

Will of course be getting a Revo, Milltek and VWR CAI along with some H&R/Eibach springs, and really want the R LED rears but they can wait.

Loving it so far, sorry it's not a MK5 but I got carried away with the moment :laugh:

Definitely need the leds to smarten up the rear! What else you planning?

Agreed the rear LED's are a big improvement, but it will be going onto some VWR lowering springs first and then Revo Stage 1.

I also want to make it a little more of an experience to drive so a non resonated Milltek and I think I have settled on a VWR CAI too.

Having owned a number of fast Hondas it feels a bit tame and quiet at the moment but that can sorted :evilgrin:

Nice mk6 prob still a bit quiet with those chosen mods.
Another mk6 I've driven had  itg induction kit and milltex non res with stage 1 and it was not much different to standard infact the exhaust seemed quieter but did sound nice but was quiet.
Ex mk5 GTI owner, moved to a mk6 in 2010.

Oh that's a shame, any suggestions on what would liven it up a bit?

As a reference my last Honda was an '03 Civic Type-R Anniversary with Jackson Racing supercharger, Toda manifold and full de-catted system and open filter....it sounded immense, but the wife detested driving it and we sold it  :sad1:

Nicely considered photography with the architecture  :congrats:

Personally, in that last shot, I would crop out the distracting blue sign on left and then shave the bottom to constrain the pic's proportions. You could also crop the righthand side to lose the column if you wanted but it's less distracting.
