I am not planning any major mods, because it is too new and has warranty etc. Just a few minor bits & pieces
Besides, there are few things you can do to improve things on a VW

The uprated oil cooler and improved camshaft, modified lubrication system to reduce bearing wear on the camshafts & crankshafts.
Enough reason? LOL
Oh, and it's a Mk6, not a Mk5 (lighter, more economical, more fuel efficient)

Yes, will fit it tomorrow and see [and take photos].

yes, but it has a panel to fix it on to [which would look odd as it doesn't match the honeycomb]

#41: Re: Antix ~ Project GT TSI 160 Author: Antix, Location: WorcesterPosted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:17 am ---- Golf went in for a free winter check today.
It appears there is a product recall on some VW Golf TSI's - which is basically an ECU download. Mine has had the upgrade.
Car is actually quicker now - the turbo seems to be much more responsive
A late xmas present which made me smile

Rear mudflaps ordered - £35.00
Will be fitted when it goes in for its first service, Mon 21st Feb.
Courtesy car booked, probably going to be a Polo

nope
Fixings are different, so maybe looking for a GTI bumper next.
The foglights on the GTI are different though, so might be a lost cause.
Will probably end-up cutting the lugs off and tigersealing the grille on

The Golf 6 is lower, lighter, and wider than the 'a**e up' Golf 5 - which makes it look more modern & fresher.
My sister has a Golf 5, she prefers the 6's looks to hers - if she didn't have a budget to adhere to (under £10k) she'd have a 6
