The Official Golf Mk VI Picture Thread

[AdamD]

The Lakin plate was the best $110 I have spent!! Question though, as they put it on for me, are they suppose to but more holes in the bumper? Also, one side is more flush than the other....only millimeters but still noticeable to me

They shouldn't have drilled any other holes. If your bracket is the same as mine, the mounts are designed to fit the four factory drilled holes exactly. There'd only be additional holes in the bumper if, like my car, your dealer had fitted a numberplate to the stock plastic adapter first, and drilled right through the adapter into the bumper beneath. I seriously doubt you'd have that problem.

Ref the plate being flush, take a few close-ups and send them my way. The bracket will have backing washers that you can stack/remove to get the fitment right (and if you're short, Philip from Lakin Plates will send you extras), and the screws themselves can be tightened too.

You are right mate.....our cars are very similar We should be very proud...

Absolutely! My GTI gets a ton of thumbs-ups - I'm sure yours will too.

Now I know to say hello when I see a Reflex Silver GTI with LEDs and Vancouver wheels here at the East side.

Yeh I picked up the Polo from the same spot, plus I've been back in there way too many times to have 2nd goes with the R or try to get 3rd/4th/5th drives lol.

Good to see they fit them for you. If I can get confirmation of the S2T paddles being ok, I'll get them to fit pre delivery too.


Wait for Corey hehe or press the edit button on the bottom RHS of your post.

Finally Installed my EVOMS Cold Air Intake last night on my R......

[Corey_R]

So it replaces some of the piping and also requires the motor cover to be left off?
How does the sound and performance change?

[ravun]

LOL - I have noticed the EVOMS CAI in your signature for a while now and assumed you were running it since you got your stage 1. So now that is actually installed have you noticed any difference in performance?

Yes Corey_R, replaces the pipe work and engine cover remains off.
I installed the kit Friday night but am yet to drive it.
Driving it Sunday to the DOVW.

A whole 24hr period with no driving? Shameful*!

*unless you were on the turps, in which case its perfectly acceptable hehe

[REXman]

That looks awesome. Piping looks very tidy.

Haha that's good to know. I'd much prefer to be taxi'd home in a stage 2 R than a fraud
