Tuners at CarFilmComponents's Styling Station have worked out a scheme to pump up the performance capabilities of the Volkswagen Golf GTI MKVI, while adding in a sound system almost guaranteed to cause a degree of deafness.
Based in Neuss, Germany, the folks at CFC Styling Station offer an engine computer unit upgrade for €799, that bumps up power to 265 hp (200 kW) and 390 Nm of torque. The company's latest show car features a €1,238 Eisenmann exhaust with a €1,000 stainless steel set of tailpipes and a MR CarDesign down pipe. They also use an ap-X screw thread "that can be adjusted according to height and hardness," for €749.
The car's looks are rounded out with 8x19-inch ASA GT2 wheels wrapped in 225/35 R19 tires for €1,999. Matte silver metallic paint can also be added for €1,500.
However, it appears CFC is most proud of the HiFi audio system. They start with a Pioneer system with four output stages and a master/slave subwoofer. Rainbow supplies the high- and mid-range speakers and woofers. Spare batteries were needed to help power the system, which also includes AIV cabling. The whole audio system goes for €999. CFC neglected to mention the wattage.
The task of turning a VW Golf VI GTI into a driving sound machine and making it look excessively great at the same time is probably not for everyone. The company CFC StylingStation, Neuss has gladly taken up this challenge. The result is worth a few words of admiration.
It takes a good portion of courage as well as confidence to opt for the kind of presentation seen on the newest generation Golf GTI – it is a matte, metallic silver coloured coating (1.500 Euro). The result, however, only reaffirms what experts from CFC knew all along.
With the right clothing, the rest of the car’s sporty yet robust appearance is now on the agenda. An ap-X (749 Euro) screw thread that can be adjusted according to height and hardness has been incorporated into the car especially for this purpose. There is an exhaust system by Eisenmann (1.238 Euro), complete with stainless steel finish and two 100er tail pipes (1.000 Euro) and a down pipe by MR CarDesign. The 265 HP performance and the maximum torque of 390 Nm (799 Euro) can be attributed to XBM Tuning. The GTI now stands on ASA GT2 wheels, which are 8x19 inches in size and soled with rubber tyres in 225/35 R19 (1.999 Euro).
MK-SoundStyle – a company, which also calls Neuss home – is responsible for the Car HiFi Entertainment System. The radio DEX-P99RS (999 Euro) comes from Pioneer. Four output stages from Pioneer (PRS-D2000SPL) power the Pioneer Subwoofer (TS-W8102SPL) in Master/Slave Mode.
The fully active front system was assembled with speakers from Rainbow: High speakers CAL 27 SILK VOF, Midrange Speakers 100 Vanadium, Woofer 165 Vanadium Phase Plug. These are powered by two output stages (iPaul 4 300).
All high end cables are from the AIV’s product line and the spare batteries bear the name Stinger.
In conclusion: Renewed confirmation of the old saying “No risk, no gain!”
