What Accessories are you buying for your MK6 Golf?

[Corey_R]

Anti-roll bars.... but even rolls bars are fine if they're designed to requirements. NSW RTA are also fine if the car has been engineered. And it's no sad comment on VW when that car ends up beating Porsches and Lotuses and other far far more expensive cars around Eastern Creek. In any case, that's all getting off topic.

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!

Took me 120,000 to start seriously modding my current cad

I guess it just depends what you come from. Some people wait until their warranty has expired, do a mod, then regret that they waited so long. Then by the time they get their next car, their previous car is so modded that NO standard car that they could possibly afford could match their previous car, so they then modify the new car almost immediately.

The first time I took to my new Golf R with a hammer and a drill was within the very 1st hour of owning it (seriously). 30km something on the odometer. With only ~350km on it I was pulling apart the interior to fit OSIR foot rests and S2TPP paddles. With great patience I lasted to 1500km before having the Stage I ECU flash installed. All that time my new R "felt slow" because my previous Stage 1 Polo GTI was quicker. But I waited that long to just make sure that "everything was ok", and to also have an appreciation and understand of the R in stock setup etc. I've got the parts required for Stage 2+ on order now (well, since when I got my Stage 1), but I'm just waiting for stock to come in

That first bit sounds like me.

2000kms and Stage 1 will work well. For a bit.

Opinions noted, yet, as stated above, enough times already, the newly created topic gave no clue that it was anything but what this thread is about.

Half the reason people create new threads is because there are so many junk or "personal" threads that they cannot find the useful threads.

So move on, else face infractions.

Back on topic, I bought a VW luggage net and it's great for keeping things secure in the boo.t

Yeah I got one chucked in with the car, its great. I've had some heavy stuff in the back and it holds it in place nicely so I don't have to adjust my driving

is that the same to this?
Volkswagen Golf VI 2.0T > Search > On Sale > ES#447739 Cargo Net, Black Elastic Nylon With Hooks - For Smaller Loads - 8J0065110

thinking of getting it but shipping is almost twice the item's price...

[Corey_R]

I may have to invest in one of those luggage nets.

hooba, did you get yours from your VW dealer, or from a third party?

Yes, that's it. As with most things from the US, shipping is a decent factor. So whist shipping starts at $33 for that one item, if you whack on a bunch of other items, the shipping may only increase to $45 - which makes much more sense from the value point of view.
