Mmmm, well then I'd say how about a Carbonio Intake ..... bling and performance rolled into 1 beautifully crafted Carbon airbox

I don't have one yet but i would say an AutoPolar FIS or the R8 coil packs.

must have accessories?

Are you talking genuine accessories at point of sale or aftermarket upgrades?

There's a few things you ought to buy with the car and these include things like bi-xenons as it actually costs more to add them later.

For aftermarket upgrades the RCD/RNS510, flappy paddle steering wheel, chrome door switches, door warning lights and LED upgrades add some bling and rate between easy and moderate in terms of DIY difficulty.

Must have performance mods (apart from an ECU tune) are a DSG tune and a decent sounding exhaust

Tiguan door moulding (r line).

If another set of wheels could be considered an accessory, then it's kind of up there with 'must haves'... Makes yours stand out & individualizes yours from every other one out there!

Hi Suffolk, any reference pics or ideas of where these are available, I haven't seen any before.

thanks vicstig

I reckon if there were a documented medical condition describing people with a fear of this happening, i would be close to having it!
Probably be called 'supermarkaphobia', or something similar...

I purchased them online from http://www.partswebsite.com/volkswagenpartscheap/
Cost is about $400 then getting them sprayed and baked another $200.
Will post some pictures on the weekend.
The good thing is they covered existing scratches and dents from people who don't care about your ride.

I agree, which member doesn't have a look at there car when they come out of a shopping center?

Do you have the part# for those?

And how do they attach?

I'm guessing some double sided tape is the go.

Hahaha

I'm going to price these up from my local parts guy first.

If there's enough interest then I could look at a group buy but I think shipping these around is going to be not that easy due to the shape.

The part numbers for the moldings are as follows. LT Front 5n0853515gru $64.29 RT Front 5n0853516gru $64.29 LT Rear 5n0853753gru $64.29 RT Rear 5n0853754gru $64.29 Please note that these moldings do not come in from Volkswagen painted they are only available in primer.

Yes Damien, shipping was the killer, just under $260 because of shape. They are held by 3m double sided tape, make sure it's on correctly the first time, or you will have trouble removing it.
