The Official Golf Mk VI Picture Thread

Haha! I think I'll be sleeping in the garage and bonding with my R for the first 5 days!

Good choice of specs
I already had the number plate from my last GTI so I had it transfered.
Just went for a drive to test the headlights and check it wasn't too lonely in the garage without me.

Can I ask you something about the RNS510... do you know if it has the latest firmware or not?

Nice pics of the family (GTI and EOS) there - does that mean you might get a Golf Cabriolet in 9 or so months?

Some pics today, was out and about with only the compact camera and was around midday but still gives you an idea! Will take better ones with the SLR when I get the chance, enjoy! Gotta say I am loving every second spent in my R

[BezzyR]

Hello from the US. Here are some random shots that all of you down under might like to see from a trip I did this month down to Death Valley California. Enjoy!

Here are some random shots from there:



As gas prices are in Death Valley today, US National gas prices will surely follow. I am glad my GTI gets 32 mpg! I'm not sure what you guys pay for premium gas but I think that this translates into about $5.43/gallon. Today on average US prices for premium are about $3.00/gallon, and Death Valley is famous for having the highest gas prices in the US.



This was in the parking lot of Badwater California, 375 ft below sea level.



On the road outside of Barstow California. This is a welding shop that is a favorite photo stop.

Nice pics! They look like Golf R wheels.

That works out to about AUD$1.28/litre. Premium (98 RON) here at the moment is about AUD$1.47/litre in Sydney, around AUD$1.40 in Canberra. This is pretty normal. Queensland usually has cheaper petrol than us.

Naa the wheels are close but the triangles are missing..

Cheap Queensland fuel is a thing of the past the state govt. removed the subsidies so I think it is now parity with everyone else

[Fab_R]

Magnificent shots shakespeare, congratulations. Looks amazing.
Even after 5-6 months of ownership, I still cant wait to get in mine each day.
Im sure everyone will be the same, even after years!!!

It is the 2.0 TSI with an APR stage 1 update and 6 sp DSG. I've put larger front and rear roll bars, and other cosmetic bits like the LED tail lights, and rear view camera, etc. I've got the RNS-510 radio and the 9W7 bluetooth module too. The wheels are Audi S4 replicas.

This has turned out to be one of the best touring cars I have ever had. It is very rare here in the US as we don't seem to like 5 door hatchbacks at all.

[SilvrFoxX]

Sounds like a great ride.. hatchbacks are quite popular here but then again we dont have much thought for Pickups..great to have you pn the forum

[Flighter]

That's a bit of a worry that it is not legal now though... did you ask for 35%? I was planning on either their Octane or Midnight Express.

A tint installer told me that those "darkest legal tints" (including the ones they install) are actually all about 28%, and hence technically illegal. Look great though.

[Prodigy]

Fantastic pics Shakespeare, the RB looks great in the sunshine.

Has the front windows been tinted or are you having that done later? They look darker than normal but not as dark as the rears, then again it may just be the bush beside the car that makes them look darker.
