ANOTHER Golf but this time a MK6 GTD
« on: January 18, 2015, 11:17:55 pm »
After selling the Passat CC It was invertible i would buy another Golf so the mouths were let out the wallet and i bought a 2011 GTD.     





First thing it needs is a damn good clean, i was going to tackle it this weekend but just haven't had time.

Good looking GTD in Tornado Red! Already has rear LED lights which are a great addition to the rear look. :happy2:

Those standard wheels don't compliment much the GTD, though. Some Vancouvers would look much better, for instance.

I wanted Vancouvers or Charlestons but couldn't find a 2010 with these, Xenons and heated seats in my budget. :(

Very nice, I was really tempted with one of these myself. It's just they where still a little out of my price range at the time.

In that case you chose wisely. :happy2:

Much easier to get new and better wheels than retrofitting xenon headlights.  :smiley:

Yeah would like to see. I'm sure they'll be awesome!

Looks nice, good choice! I like the standard wheels not that I'm biased or anything...

What spec have you got?

Any plans to do anything to it?

Factory spec:
Bi-xenons with Dynamic range (twisty round corners)
MDI in the arm rest (going to be taken out)
Heated fabric sports seats
Dual Zone
TPMS
Hill hold (manual gearbox)

Mods so far:
RNS315 DAB but need DAB internal aerial either in boot lid or glass mount
5K0 Bluetooth prep
Speedo and RPM needle staging
Genuine cruise control (bought but not yet had a chance to fit as its the newer design which is a bit more involved to retrofit)
Osram Xenarc CBI (need to find some time to fit)
Do three new Goodyear tyres count as a mod?

Planned:
Folding mirrors with autodip (getting the bits together at the moment)
OPS - front and rear.
Stage 1 remap

Not meant as a dig but I've always found it strange that the GTD lacks a noticeable amount of equipment standard. A lot of the things you're retrofitting like DAB, Bluetooth, OPS and Cruise Control were all included by default on my Match. I've then added Fogs, RNS 315 and Seattle alloys myself. Just missing the extra 30bhp now  :signLOL:

Plans sound good anyway.

Tell me about it. I tried to find a 2011+ with less than 50k miles, xenon headlights, heated fabric seat and OPS but it pretty darn impossible. I did find one in Leeds but by the time I was able to fly up and see it, it had sold. Just means I have some stuff do over the spring :)
