  • Hey everyone!

    Hi there,

    I'm so grateful to be lucky enough to have been able to have a 2012 Candy White MK 6 118TSI DSG Golf as my first car . My parents are very generous (which) I am very grateful for, and I had saved up enough money to put towards it myself.

    I live in Perth and have always been a keen car fan, but recently have become a bit of a Volkswagen enthusiast. I'm a bit of a driveway detailing fanatic too.

    Unfortunately the car had to have it's clutch pack replaced recently due to the dry clutch DSG "shudder". Luckily my local VW dealer made a claim with VW and I didn't have to pay even though it was out of warranty.
    The car in its current state:



    I've had the car a little over two years, here is a short list of the modifications/changes/upgrades I have made to the car so far, in the order in which they happened:
    • Seat adjuster inserts
    • LED Number plate lights
    • LED Interior lights
    • MK 7 Golf 17" Highline wheels
    • H&R Sport Springs
    • Fog lights
    • Highline grille
    • Darkest legal tint
    • "Wedge" dashcam
    • Sill scuff plates (not yet installed)
    • GFB DV+ (not yet installed)
    • Superchips Bluefin (not yet installed)


    Future plans for the car:
    • H&R 22/26mm sway bars
    • R Headlights and tail lights
    • GTI style rear valance (possibly, if I can find one that fits Australian spec bumper)
    • Air intake/Exhaust (would be nice, but unlikely due to cost)


    Otherwise that's pretty much it! Thanks for reading, I don't have much technical knowledge but I hope I can bring my experiences to this forum and possibly help some people out, since I've been using here as a resource since I got the car.


    Here are some pictures I've taken along the way

    Thanks again everyone!
