Boring diesel Golf Mk6... with a few extras

How come you didn't go for a GTD, as those with just a remap out power a stock GTI don't they? (This isn't meant as a dig, just curious...)

Fair question, reason is they seem to cost £1500 - £2k more on the used market and aren't as well equipped missing bits like cruise control, bluetooth and parking sensors. This one seems like a good base as a kind of a junior GTD with a few toys! Also the engines are apparently identical with only the turbo differing.

Plans sound good! You didn't hang around for the RNS 315  :grin:

I really like where the windows switches are, much more convenient!

J400uk:
Couple of minor exterior mods, very subtle but sharpen up the looks. If you can't spot them they are near the top and bottom of the photo  :smiley:
 

 
I also got an MDI cable for my iPhone 6 to go under the armrest. Works nicely with full control via the RNS and you can still use Bluetooth for Phonebook and Calls at the same time.
 

 

 
Overall I've been quite pleased with the car and like it more than I thought. Clearly not as fun as the GTI but it just effortlessly eats up the miles in total comfort. Even managed 62mpg on a run down to Heathrow earlier in the week...
 
Bigger things to come in the new year anyway  :driver:

Fogs and shark fin?  :P
