I like the folding mirrors.  A very quick way to tell at a glance if your car is locked or not.

I’ve have the mirrors currently folding when the car locks and opening when the car unlocks. I was hoping to adjust them such that they only open when the car starts, not when the car is unlocked. I know that Audi’s often work this way.
I hated the way me wife's A3 did that.
I much prefer them to fold out when I unlock the car but each to their own
I never really thought about this until you mentioned it.

In the new A3, when you switch the car on, the MMI screen rises out of the middle of the dash and the mirrors fold out at the same time. I actually think it is quite cool. :undecided: :cool:

Same here. And it is marginally easier to pass in the garage with them folded.

I picked it up yesterday morning!
It’s nice to be back in a VW again  :smiley: even if it was only 3 months ago  :rolleyes:
.....and it’s not got the noisy Bridgestones on it so it was nice and quiet and virtually no road noise at all !!
So far so good 👍👍👍

And the footwell lights, front engine cover, footrest, Bling 12v cover, Boot led and VW dustcaps  :whistle:
Also retro fitted the door mirror bolt covers that have stopped being fitted for quite a while now. Very simple fix as there are two locating pins on the cover, the larger one just slides out and the smaller one can be pulled off easily as it has a weakened break point on it. Apply a small amount of strong double sided and ✅
Was going do the same with the isofix covers but my new One has them already fitted 👍
