The idea of this thread is to let everyone know what you have bought your Dub, with this months wages.

I'll start it off with this months new purchases (courtesy of ebay)

Wolfsburg hornpush (?12)
Dash vent trims (?20)
Lupo GTI grill badge (99p) - bargain of the week ;D
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture
