What Accessories are you buying for your MK6 Golf?

[weewilly]

thanks Corey, hopefully the boys will after me....

Yeah - I don't believe there is any additional charge to have the existing flash reflashed to fuel pump enabled version.

a package arrived today!

as soon as I got home, I made serious attempt to almost break the steering wheel in the hot afternoon :p

Hey Nat, just realised that you have the updated speedo with the red lit ring around them!! What MY is yours?

Been watching these wheels on ebay for a while, the seller has now fitted a set to a GTI, great look at a great price. Bit wide for my taste though. I have ordered a set a WORK wheels for the R. Custom make will take 14 weeks.

I've also fitted under seat drawers, although small, just enough to hold those bits that won't fit in the glovebox. I paid a stupid price genuine through a dealer only to find out I could buy the from England at $210 US with $40 delivery and they were OEM, paid $410 from the VW dealer.

Cars only done 1700 kilometres and I'm already making changes LOL

I'm interested in the underseat drawers. Are they easy to fit? Can you let us know where to get them from England?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums rd415. I merged your thread with this one as it's the same topic. Please take the time to look for existing threads before creating new ones. This "Accessories" thread was literally only a few places down below yours on the first page of the MK6 forum thread listing. Cheers.

Yep! saw the accessories thread, but this was more about doing modifications so soon after purchase than fitting accessories, so I didn't think it was appropriate to put in the accessories thread. I probably should have been a little more selective in the thread title. As I said, it amazed me that I have started modifying, all previous cars have lasted about two years before fitting wheels and looking at upgrading tune, the Golf R only a month.

For Lex - simple to fit, if you are double jointed you can fit without unbolting seat. As I am an old fart - I unbolted the seat and just leaned the seat back without disconnecting any wiring etc.

Well I apologise... your thread title, nor the content of your post, gave no clue as to "Time before modifications" was the topic of your post. In any case - 1700km... what took you so long? People have done massive modifications (wheels, suspension, brakes, roll bars, diffs, clutch, fulll exhaust, turbo, intake, pumps etc) within the first 200km!

[rd415]

LOL - I am sure VW Australia would love to hear that (wheels, suspension, brakes, roll bars, diffs, clutch, fulll exhaust, turbo, intake, pumps etc) within the first 200km! Warranty may be a big issue.

I hope you mean anti-roll/stabiliser - not internal roll bars - see how easy it is to miss interpret the written word.

Isn't the car good enough, sad comment on Volkswagon if they have to be modded when new.

Back on Topic, Accessories - I also fitted a clearvieu without hassle.
