You have to have the 18's!

When i spoke to a dealer just now, he said exactly the same thing - that it just finishes off the GTI. I tend to agree.

The red has it by a hair over carbon steel at the moment.

Haha yeah.. the wheels really makes it! The 17's are such a let down.. If I could only get one option on this car it would be 18" detroits!

Goodluck with yours!

The CS I had a look at had the 18's , Bi Xenon , and ACC , (not that that matters looks wise) , only difference was the Leather Interior.

Basically identical , bar the leather , to my order

Had my carbon steel for a week now and absolutely love it. The co;our in the brochure doesn't do it justice. Previously had a Black Mk 5 but this is unlike any carbon steel I've seen before - quite dark and almost black at times and quite stunning.
She's in Fhrx Studios having some serious sound modifications completed and not expected back until the weekend. Can't wait!

Carbon Steel is a pretty hot new flavor. Probably a bit easier to keep clean than black, would still show scratches and dints though but most cars would. Saw a CW mk6, also stunning and very clean with the 18" detroits. That is one of the worthwhile options, the 17" look too small on the MK6 with the heavy looking front end/overhang.

Ps. Car should sound heaps better after FHRX, they do good work.

I'd choose it over black, but can see how it would like quite average when it is dusty.

Flappa is that bumper damage in 2 spots i see below the left headlight in the first photo?

[G-rig]

Looks like a reflection.

The sensors do look like tacky add ons though.

[MurphyTheElf]

Which sensors are you referring to?

[elisiX]

lol Yup.. I dont see them either..

[G-rig]

Which sensors are you referring to?

I meant the front sensors in general on the MK6, look a bit out of place.

One passed me today.The first thing I noticed was the colour and how the red lines on the grille really stand out. It really looks a lot better in person than any photo. CS stands out but in a classy way.

[G-rig]

It doesn't stand out agains the same colour road unfortunately, and i'd be careful around dusk and make sure the headlights are on.
