What mods?
« on: 18 March 2009, 16:50 »
Im (hopefully!) picking up the mk5 gti on the weekend, completely standard down to the 17" wheels. The only thing im a bit gutted about is no ipod interface or sat nav, would have liked an arm rest too i suppose. Are there any other additions or mods that come recommended? Ta!

MFSW looks abit fussy to me, be scared of hitting something or breaking it! electric folding mirrors would be nice. The head unit is rubbish as standard i heard, any recs?

Folding door mirrors would run into the thousands to have fitted after.

Cruise is under £200
Reverse sensors are under £300 iirc
rns510 is anything between £600-£1200
Ipod connection is about £200 (and not really worth it)
Heated seats will be expensive
Arm rests come up on ebay and i have seen them around £250-£400

If you want to save money, get an aftermarket stereo with ipod connection, tomtom (which has bluetooth for your phone) and a hot water bottle for the seats, the mirrors hardly fold in so dont worry about that, i get out and use my hands  :grin:
