Golf Mk6 - Prices and Dealer Negotiations

[Ozram]

Nice work Ozram, could be on the same boat my Gti is on (in at Port Kembla today). Any ideas on the tune? Full turbo back or just cat back? Love the tails! Dealer is fitting my gratis

Dealer said mine had already landed & assured me we had secured it. I've been following Lucas's thread here and without getting into a flame war I quite like what he says the tune does. I definitely won't be getting one particular tune as I'm appalled by the bitchiness and downright rudeness shown by the so called distributor on this site ( won't name names. ) Will put a few km's on it first. Exhaust will probably be a cat back at this stage.

Lucky you that the dealer is doing the install for you. Check out the VCDS tweaks section and get him to code for the needle sweep & other stuff. Good luck with your car. Enjoy!

Agreed, pretty safe to follow Lucas' tune lead

Finally bit the bullet and decided to trade up and take advantage of the free on-roads promotion. The 118 has been fabulous, but with warranty due to expire in August I wanted to be covered again.

Signed today for bog standard MY12.5 Carbon Steel 5 Door DSG with 18" Detroits. $43,690 drive away. It is currently on the wharf so delivery in the next few weeks.

Plan to add Lakin plate holders, RNS510, Milltek exhaust, tune, tint & opti-coat. Oh, and of course I have to swap my rear LED's don't I?

Congratulations Ozram. Nice trade up coming and it's not a loooong wait, like some of us had. And, Yes, you need to do something about the tail end.

Ha ha. Had the 4 month wait when I got the present one. Swore I wouldn't do it again. Spent the day so far putting custom plates in storage, now just need to get the LED's off and back to stock and put it on Car Sales.

Good thanks mate; yourself? I've been stupidly busy with work... not getting out to drive the GTI as much as I'd like!

Must catch up and check out your new beast when I'm next in town!

Good luck with selling the 118 - hope it goes quickly and easily to a good new home.

I seem to get less free time as I get older. How's that work?

I ordered some Lakin plate holders yesterday, Phil says to say Hi. Thanks for your DIY in the other thread, convinced me to go the same way as you.

LED's removed (looks odd now!) and up on car sales. I don't think the 'trouble & strife' will like the ad when she see's it

Also advertised it on this forum here http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...dsg-72384.html

I LOL'd. Also, it's been great knowing you - because when she reads that, you're a dead man.

The car is definitely less aggressive without the LEDs, but still looks the business in black with the painted Denvers!

Still not clear what the car looks like with the LED covers. Can you point me to or link to a picture of yours?

They are not covers mate. They are complete light units. Check out some pics of how mine used to look http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...out-43776.html

They look good. Roughly how much and how long to fit?

Got quoted $41500 driveaway for a stock White 5 door DSG GTI with the current promo, thoughts?
