Golf GTI Mark VI Specifications and Prices

[Maverick]

Does anyone here know what are the sizes of the break calipers for both the rear and front for the new MK6 GTI? is is the same size as the R32 or otherwise?

The MkVI was a cost cutting move not a specification enhancing one!

They're exactly the same as the MkV AFAIK.

Cost cutting yet better . Some things are better being simple like the top air vent - major source of rattles and creaks all that hard plastic on plastic.

On the other hand, the sun visors feel a lot cheaper. They still work just as well

I can't remember the old ones but thought they were much the same. Bound to be a few pros/cons to both but less rattles = better.

The old ones were a bit squishier to the touch. Agreed completely about the top air vent - it never really stopped despite numerous attempts to be fixed. And some changes make no real difference, like the fuel cover release.

Does the special of free on roads for the GTI only apply to cars in transit or in stock ? or can i order one with my desired specs and still receive the discount?
Also what will be the wait if one is built to my specification ?

Why don't you think they wouldn't be bright enough?

Again, I've moved your thread here because it's about the specifications of the GTI. Or I could have possibly put it in one of the many threads about Xenons. Please try and post in the existing threads

It applies to cars purchased AND delivered by EOFY.

Hi G-Rig.. i didn't think it's not bright enough.. i am just asking a question in relation to the lumens with factory fitted Xenons..

[G-rig]

Ah ok, will have to do a bit of searching, not sure what they are.

Anyway the Bi-Xenons are awesome and haven't heard any complaints from those who have them.

Hi G-rig, thanks for that.. if you have any information that would be helpful.. in the meantime i'll speak to my local dealer and ask them whether they have any information on this topic..

I'm sure that Maverick knows the answer to this question. I checked his site and couldn't find specifically which bulb was in the GTI, although I did find the specs for some of the bulbs here

You don't even have the car yet and you want to replace them with a brighter bulb?

The bulbs that are fitted will be around 4300-4800K which is optimum for visibility and also with an output of around 3500-3800 lumens which is the maximum you can extract from them. There are no upgrades from the OEM bulbs only downgrades.

They won't and you'll get a reputation if you ask lots of questions like that. The bulb uses is an Osram, I have the specs around somewhere and will post them on my site when I find them.
