Title: My 2006 Diamond Black Pearl GTi
Post by: mpbrit on July 29, 2011, 09:41:31 pm
Okay so I have had my GTi (first one) for about a month but I haven't uploaded any pictures as the dealer valet when I collected it was so bad that they have paid for it to be re-done. Thanks to Pro-Shine in Norwich she is now looking gorgeous so here are the first pics. She is a Diamond Black Pearl with 18 inch Monza 2's and rear tinted windows. Folding mirrors are the only factory option but hopefully the mods will come with time.

Looks pretty nice, good pictures.
Most of the mods can be retrofitted relatively easily, so you haven't missed out too badly, and can put things on one at a time.

Euro Cup holder was the first upgrade (a must have), I know you will all ask why the 310 and not the 510 ten but my pockets are only so deep with a new born and my wife has the 310 in her MK6 GTD with optical parking and it is more than sufficient for what we need. Just need to add the OPS now!!!

Picking up rubber inserts for armrest today and parts needed for auto boot opening as already coded for this to happen.

Lovely job on the rest of the mods too  :happy2:

Thanks for all the comments, i love yhe black pearl edpecially with the tinted windows  just need the in-pro smoked indicators now. The seat inlays were bought from Pmoky GTi on here. I took the red tape from the rear to make them look a bit more oem!!! I think they look really good.
All components fitted for the auto boot pop today and works well, especially handy for getting buggies and shopping in boot. Looks cool at the car park too.  :happy2:
