I'll post up pictures tomorrow, but it's grey and boring. If anyone has tips/tricks/hints/how to make the car slightly better, please post them. I don't want to put a whole lot into it, as I'd like to save for something special, but right now the biggest upgrade I've done is an aux cord.
It still has a leather wheel and shift knob right? You can go all the way up to a new Golf R and the dash is still going to be 100% plastic aside from those two things, it is a VW after all.
If you want a little more iPod functionality Grom Audio has a fairly cheap module that will let you skip tracks using the steering wheel buttons. The MKVs had a problem with the subframe bolts stretching out and causing a clunk when you turn the steering wheel with the car stopped, I'm not sure if that was fixed for the MKVI, but if not, I have a repair kit still in the box I'll sell you for like... $5.
If you link up with someone that has VAG-COM they can turn on a bunch of hidden features. You can have a double press of the unlock button roll all the windows down (right now you should be able to roll them up by holding the lock button). You can make the gauges sweep on startup, have the fog lights switch on in low speed corners, you might be able to get an oil temp reading in the MFD, and make the hazard flashers come on if you activate ABS, among other things.
