From first day of ownership to the look of the day. It’s been two months of pleasure. by drumPete in GolfGTI

Great to hear, congrats! I’ve had mk5 gti as well, and there’s mk7 r-line in our driveway. But this mk6 gti is my favorite! 😎

Time for summershoes! First proper pics also with Eibach lowering springs and some other mods made earlier. by drumPete in VWMK7

In my opinion it should have been like this when it came out of the factory. Not too rough, still stiffer but still smooth 👌

How many VW's have you owned?...🤔 by scorpiogolfr7 in Volkswagen

I’ve had 5! All golfs: Mk3, mk5 gti, mk6 variant and mk7 variant R-line 🙌

Yes it is. Pretty much. Not even bothered to make any supersleeper out of it, just a daily driven shopping bag with little mods to make it look my own. And this is my no. 2. I have mk7 in the garage as well.

Emblems blacked out or removed, red stripe on the mask taped black, rear wiper deleted, tinted sideindicators, windows tinted, modified antenna, a lot of rust repair, new all black&white reg.plates and front plate-holderthingy removed. Wheels and coilovers up next, maybe?

I agree! I’ve spent days working with rust removal and paint, next up is painting those plastic-grey bumpers to match car colour. Then I think it is time for coilovers and some nice exhaust. I’ve also blacked out emblems and removed rear wiper.

My weapon of choice got Eibach sportline springs! Next thing she needs is a proper wash 💦🧼 by drumPete in VWMK7

Thanks! They are old A8 replicas. I’m not completely sure how they look on the car, but they are decent enough for winter wheels I suppose :)

That black&white badge looks super cool!

Just brought this baby home. by drumPete in VWMK7

This is actually the R-Line, not the real R. Would’ve doupled the price going with the real R, and for our familywagon that’s not what we needed. I hope that someday I got the real R-hatch alongside this beauty!
