Verity’s love for Volkswagen
Local Volkswagen owner and enthusiast Verity initially caught our eye on social media with her beautiful Volkswagen Mk6 Golf R, shimmering holographically in the sun. Intrigued (who wouldn’t be), we quickly realised her passion for Volkswagen – the Golf in particular, and asked her to share with us where her love for the brand started. And just where does the Wookie name stem from?
Where it all began
Everyone has their first true love, the one that catches your eye and leaves the biggest impression. Dressed in silver with sleek black accents and splash of red, Verity’s first Mk5 GTI couldn’t have been a more standard GTI.

That isn’t what made her special. Verity used this car to not just get from A-B, but to learn, experiment, and personalise. From tartan seats and being a Japanese import – with bumper to match, she changed everything. By the time she was finished with her journey, this car had a full leather interior conversion (working heated seats and all), Euro bumper conversion with colour matching paint, Mk6 GTI steering wheel, Mk6 GTI climate control, new head unit, new headliner, upgraded brakes, restored headlights, new tail lights, R-style LED lights, an ECU tune (APR Stage2 by HSP Tuning), and much more.
The ‘Silver Fireworks’ Mk6 R
It was at this point her DSG Mk6 R took the floor and although this car didn’t have quite as much personalisation, it was hard to miss. Wrapped in TechWraps “Silver Fireworks” by Addept Visuals from Evolve Auto Detailing, the Mk6 shifts from grey in the shade to a holographic symphony of colour in the sun. At a stock 199kW it also pushes hard, making summer drives feel rhythmic and exciting – a must-have for any AWD enthusiast!

Return of the GTI
However, as hard as the R might try, she missed the feeling of a GTI. This saw Verity with her most recent addition, Baby Wook 2.0, a Mk7 GTI. Baby Wook 2.0 has a long list of enhancements and personalisations that Verity is looking forward to making, but it has already reignited her passion for GTIs.
