Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • SA Hi from Adelaide

    Hi all, new member here from Adelaide. Just got my first VW, a 2010 (MY11) Mk6 Golf GTD DSG in Red and VWWatercooled seems to be just about the best forum for Vdubbers.

    Looking to do a few mods in the future:

    New springs and shocks (can't afford coils) - H&R Sports/Eibach Pro-Kit with either Koni Sports or Bilstein Sports. I'm thinking the H&Rs for the lower ride height even if ride quality isn't as good.
    Bi-xenon headlight conversion (the wallet will cry).
    Golf R LED tails.
    19" wheels - Thinking black Talladega's. Found cheap replicas but I'm worried about the offset which is +45 when genuine is apparently +50, especially since I'm lowering it.
    Upgrade one of the pairs of speakers with a set from my old car - Cadence 150W RMS 5-1/2" splits with crossovers and amp.

    Any advice on the above is much appreciated.

    Thanks and happy driving.

    Hi and welcome to the forum!

    Feel free to bring your new set of wheels along to one of our upcoming meets - the GTD is one of my favourite cars.

    Meets and discussion on upcoming events is here: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ead-84510.html

    Can't really comment much on your proposed mods list but to say that LED tails area must

    And that you really should have got bi-xenons with the car as retrofitting costs mega $$$$ to do legally. Plus the combination of springs/shocks and 19's is going to make the ride a lot harsher. Anyway nothing that you didn't already know
