Banaham's Carbon Grey MK6 GTI
« on: January 31, 2016, 04:34:59 pm »
Just picked up my new (to me) Golf mK6 GTI in Carbon grey. It was a 500 miles round to see/collect the car. It was a very enjoyable drive home.

Previously owning a MK5 GTI it is very similar so i was used to alot of the controls, but never the less i am loving the MK6

Old Car:



New car comes full spec'd

Dual Zone Climate Control
Heated Leather Seats
Front & rear parking sensors
Reverse Camera)
Park Pilot (parallel parks for you)
RNS-510 head Unit including satnav, DVD and IPhone connection
Bluetooth Prep
Dynaudio uprated sound system (miles better than standard)
Winter Pack (heated wash jets & low fluid warning)
Convenience pack (auto Lights, Wipers & auto dimming rear view mirror)
Folding & heated Wing Mirrors with puddle lights
Zenon Headlights (auto levelling & cornering)
LED Rear lights
18” Monza Shadow II Wheels
DCC – Dynamic Chassis Control (adjustable suspension)
DSG Gearbox (with paddle shifters)
Cruise Control

Here is the new one

Was that picture of your Mk5 Golf taken at a show at North Weald at either Players or RPM Live? Swear I've seen it in the flesh, looked ace.

Fair enough. I remember spending a good 10 minutes staring at the rear bumper being impressed with the smoothing work going on.

I dont no who smoothed it as i brought it like that but couldn't see the joint at all. I think it was one of the best mods i got for the car. Was mainly R32 owners who noticed it was smoothed thou.

Thank you. Its the best feeling when you pick it up and drive it.

Have already brought some carbon paddles as the standard ones are really small.
No doubt i will be getting some carbon parts :ashamed:
Exhaust will be my next thing as standard is so quiet and im used to having a loud exhaust
