I have done the following:

- VW Cargo net
- OSIR O-rest
- stainless steel seat inserts
- Automatic hatch pop kit.

Wouldn't mind the GTI floor mats, but are a bit pricey.

- VW Cargo net

Gonna request one of these thrown in, always handy to have. Out of interest what did it cost you?

Speaking of accessories, had a call from a "pre delivery" person at my dealer today who clearly had no idea because she tried to sell me reverse sensors on the R.....

I have the orig version (new ones have a zip and you can put stuff inside the net too).. it was ~$90 from spare parts.

Am still thinking of the GTI pedal clip-ons - but someone told me that non-stock metal pedals are illegal/unroadworthy. Of course, it shouldn't be hard to unclip them again, but has anyone heard similar?

Yes they need to be permanently attached, not clip on. Its a safety item and I'd agree with that. You don't want something loose under your feet when braking!

Mine foot rest is double sided taped onto the plastic and hasn't moved at all.. they come with screws but decided against them as i didn't want the pedal to rattle/click under your foot etc.

There's a bit of a difference between a foot rest and a brake pedal though....

Yeah one's a foot rest and one's a pedal.

You don't want either coming loose though.

Double-sided taped my GTI footrest pedal instead of using the screws as G-rig did, no problems thus far. Just to make mine look at home and prevent dirt from getting into the holes/slots, I've filled them with 3mm thick rubber shoe sole cutouts. It's a bit labour intensive to fill all the slots perfectly but it can be done except the GTI letterings. By the way, mine is not the OSR that comes with the rubber studs.
Actually, this pedal took 5x longer to finish compared to fitting the LED tailights!
