Mk7 Golf GTI Discussion Thread

Well done mate, I've been looking into this recently.
Can I ask where you bought the plugs from? Bunnings?
I've been looking around but haven't found anything yet and agree about the bumperplugs.com price.

Cheers

Yeah got my caps from bunnings in the DIY kitchen section. You can get bigger ones from eBay for about the same price, if not less. Mine seem to be staying on well so far though so I'll stick (no pun intended) with them until I bother sorting out something else. If I bother.

They look good! If I hadn't gone with a Lakin bracket I would have done this - at the time I hadn't seen one done

Hey guys. I took the bumper off my car today for another DIY project and thought some of you may be curious to see what the car looks like "bra-less". Gotta say it looks pretty beastly without the bumper so now my mind is working out how to achieve the look, but with the bumper on obviously.

Picked up my MY16 GTI on monday. Did a bit of detailing last night. Full wash, mechanical decontamination and paint cleanse plus Full Metal Jacket paint protection. Sorry for the quality of the photos, took them with camera phone. I'll get the windows tinted tomorrow morning.

That's interesting cerebellum is that a performance pack GTI? It has the red stripe on the headlights but standard wheels and tail lights and silver GTI badge. I saw mine in at the dealership today. Will be picking it up next week! Can't wait

He has the Bi Xenon headlights, and those come with the stripe through the headlights. Visual differences between the standard GTI and the Performance is the red GTI badging, the Santiago wheels, the LED tails, the GTI labelled brake callipers, and the larger brake disks.

When I first started looking at GTIs everyone was banging on about the bi xenons. I can safely say I am a convert. They're amazing and worth every penny

mattaus is correct. It's a standard MY16 GTI with sunroof option. Love the bi-xenon headlights. What are you getting GoGTI?

Haven't got the windows tinted yet. Went to Happy tint this morning but they couldn't do the small windows at the front. I know ppl have asked in other threads here but the answers all seem to be interstate so if anyone knows who in Melbourne would tint the front small windows as well, please let me know so i can contact them.

Thanks.

I'm getting a GTI PP.
I'm getting tinting done with the dealership, not sure if they are going to tint the small windows in the front. I asked them to but we'll see.
