Lowering Springs GTI 6C

Modification newbie here... looking to subtly lower my 2016 GTI 6C, nothing too extreme just want it to sit better (as it should be stock IMO). Any advice on which to go for, where to buy them etc welcome. From what I can see H&R and Eibach seem to be the most popular options. I'm leaning toward...

Re: Das Welt Auto Warranty vs Modifications

Update: I contacted VW and they said any modifications to any part of the car, will void the entire Das Welt Auto warranty. Even if the modifications are unrelated to the part that fails or are cosmetic.

Re: Das Welt Auto Warranty vs Modifications

I've already had somewhat of a taste of the Das Welt Auto small-print and dealers playing hard-ball. I noticed a month or so after getting mine from a dealer in Wales (I live in Nottingham) that there was very slight play in the steering, turned out to be a damaged suspension bush. Dealer said it's ...

Re: Das Welt Auto Warranty vs Modifications

I’ve no personal experience with the VW Das Welt Auto warranty. However, it’s worth comparing whats likely to happen under VW’s new car factory warranty and then look at the small print in the Das Welt Auto booklet. Under VW’s new car factory warranty, if an owner decided to have an engine remap, t...

Das Welt Auto Warranty vs Modifications

Does anyone have any experience with modifications while under the Das Welt Auto warranty? I'm keen to do some light mods (res delete, small exterior changes etc) and wonder whether this would completely void the 12 -month approved-used VW warranty or whether it would only void a particular section ...

Re: Exhaust Modification and Insurance

Admiral have now quoted me to add: Aftermarket Exhaust, badge changes and vinyl wrap on wing mirrors.

Only increases my premium by £19... and that includes a £9.50 admin fee!

Re: Exhaust Modification and Insurance

I've found Admiral to be easy to talk to, I am probably paying "quite a bit" for my "Audi Sport" exhaust which I later clarified to be a Milltek exhaust on my S4, it was fitted to that car from almost brand new, I've also advised them that I use 18" Audi alloys with Winter ...

Exhaust Modification and Insurance

Looking to have an aftermarket exhaust fitted in the future, but I want to check with the insurers that it won't ridiculously increase my premium. Does anyone know whether you can get a quote from your current insurer, without them just presuming you've done the mod already and putting the premium u...

Re: Boot liner recommendations for 6C?

I bought mine from NP Autoparts which now appears to be DriveDen.
