Golf Mk 7 - Genuine accessories $

[Davefonzi]

I'm also looking out for these as well, didn't get them priced either.

Has anyone installed an LED number plate light and would they recommend any for the MK7 ?

Nah, I got sunroof, driver assist, roof bars, bike carriers, roof box and mats.
For some reason they didn't try to upsell the accessories. If it wasn't for the VW UK website, I wouldn't have known about most of the gear on offer.

Has anyone looked into tow bars? Not planning on towing anything particularly heavy, but the ability to take a load of garden cuttings for recycling, tow the bins out to the road, put a bike carrier on the back, etc is something I'm looking for.

Thanks bennjamin, looks interesting. Any local options, or were you looking at importing?

Has anyone actually rang a VW parts department for the prices?.... most the time the car calesmen will put a BIG... and sometimes i mean BIG markup on the accessories.
deal direct with the parts dept.
Example...with one of my golfs the sales staff wanted $290 for 4 floor mats, i walked over to the parts dept and paid 175.

Or you can pick them up on ebay for around $100.......

For me id rather pay a few bucks more for the two years warranty i get... example, our Amarok tonneau cover was lifting a bit in one edge after about 8months of constant use.... was replaced with a brand new one no questions asked.. Thats the one thing i prefer over Ebay.. assurance!

We're not talking "a few bucks" here though. I bought 2 years of extended warranty for the car just from the money I saved getting my RNS510 from eBay and DIY (Mk6 Golf).

The feeling of getting them to fix your car for free under warranty is great though
I don't actually think I'll be getting $1900 worth of free stuff though (price of 2 year genuine VW extended warranty) - unless the gearbox dies

Ouch...

And the feeling of getting a car that doesn't even need fixing is even better again.
