What Accessories are you buying for your MK6 Golf?

[Corey_R]

After stumbling across some information on Maverick's website, I ordered a Clarivue RNS510 screen protector. I ordered it at like 3am one morning whilst not sleeping due to waiting for my car to arrive, so I got the "Ultra-Clear" version rather than the "Anti-glare" version. During normal waking hours, I might have twigged that "Ultra-Clear" means supershiney and therefore reflective, but oh well.

It arrived well packaged and with simple 3 step instructions. It also included a little cleaning wipe to ensure the RNS510's screen is 100% clean before placing the protector on it. This thing is sized SO EXACTLY that it's almost impossible to get the damn thing on! A very steady hand and even a long finger nail to wedge underneath the screen trim and run along the edges to get the protector down is a big help.

Once on and the top layer protection removed, it looks very impressive. Makes the RNS510's screen look very much like an Apple iPad display or something. It is very clear and also rather shiney. The finger prints don't seem too bad from the drivers point of view, but look very obvious from straight on or from the passenger view - but it is easier to clean than the standard screen.

In hindsight, or if I was to install another one, I'd probably trim 1 or 2mm off two edges (one of the long and short edges) so that it's easier to install (and remove). I'd also probably get the anti-glare version, just because I have never been a fan of the shiney screens.

I am happy with the product though.

Clarivue offer a lot of pre-cut sizes as well as custom sizes and a whole heap of sizes made specifically for many popular devices.


Oh yeah... and shipping to Australia is free!

I got one as well, but when I pulled off the sticky protectors either side of it, it left sticky residue on one corner of the protector, which to this day I still haven't got around to removing. Mine is actually not quite big enough so I can't swipe my finger across it for various functions, otherwise the protector just moves with my finger. Still, the RNS screen is in perfect nick, which is the main idea I guess.

Haha awesome 16.19 USD = 15.8384 AUD cheaper than what ppl in the US pay! Got one on order thanks for this ;p

[Ryan_R]

There's a front splitter on that Golf R? -drools-

[Corey_R]

What material is the front splitter made from?

If it is Carbon fibre, I'd be cautious. I've had that before, and after you've scraped it a few times on driveways or whatever, and you've worn through the clear coat protecting the fibres, you've then got unprotected carbon fibres. You'd then want to be wearing kevlar gloves any time you go to wash your car or put your hands anywhere near them, because getting carbon fibres in them is very painful! Trust me! lol

They look good - they're just not practical for a car driven every day.

Group buy on the splitters and i'm in..

I had one on the wrx and never seemed to have any issues with it, it got scraped on the underside a few times but was never had any trouble with the fibres sticking out, I guess as you say though if you go through the clear coat it may become a problem.
