r/GLI

Sorry for the terrible photos. I took the car from the dealership straight to paint correction and protection and snapped these quickly on my phone so my partner could see.

6-Speed GLI in monument grey with the black package. Not loving the lip spoiler and am considering removing it, that's how it was on the lot.

Replacing a 13k 6-Speed 2019 Alltrack SE with the Driver Assistance and Appearance package that was totaled by another driver going 50mph in a 25mph neighborhood zone at an intersection. The Alltrack was the perfect spec for me but I love rowing my own gears and I really like how restrained the interior styling of the GLI is compared to the remaining manual sedans on the market.

I love the engine growl in sport mode, will be using this as a four person family car - we live in an urban area, use public transit and bikes a TON, car is mostly for trips out of town or city hauling of things that can't be moved otherwise. How do others feel about the spoiler strip? I'm leaning strongly to removing it. The staff at the paint protection shop all liked it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I LOVE the monument grey color. Changes in the light and I love the pale blueness of it.

Hi,

I have a 19 Gli (dsg 82k miles) and Ive got about 1500 to spend for a mod. Current mods are: intake, catback exhaust, and rear sway bar. I’m torn between coilovers (probably from bc racing but please recommend others if there are better). Or I can get an accessport and go stage one ecu and tcu from eqt. I love backroad driving and the coilovers would probably make it feel so solid, and the car would be lower a bit so would look much nicer, but it will be the hardest install I’ve ever done whereas a tune is easy. But I’ve heard stage one really wakes this car up, and I’ve heard great stuff about eqt. Which would you guys recommend?

First wash after 6 days of rain.

Need help finding fuse box diagrams for an 07 gli, keep finding random other diagrams. Fsi motor, 6 spd manual, has hid headlights, factory fogs, sunroof, amp under driver seat (not sure if that’s an option or they all have that in this year). Folks say it’s in the owners manual, but I did not get the manual when I got car, grabbed one when I found a stereo out at the salvage yard for a golf cuz it has security code written in there. Can’t find it on Ross tech forum, and can’t find same one in VW vortex. Got a bad parasitic draw, and it’s hard to figure out other electrical issues when idk what fuses even do what. Online keeps giving wrong info with completely different fuse boxes, or base 2.5 with different options. Any help appreciated!
