What Accessories are you buying for your MK6 Golf?

[weewilly]

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

[Corey_R]

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?

Golf R Accessories Already

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.

VW 18" GTC Wheels Matte Black GT-CX Golf MKV / MKVI (eBay item 250763734735 end time 02-Feb-11 22:15:14 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

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.

[rd415]

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.

[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.

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

[Corey_R]

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.
