To be brutally honest I reckon about the best mod on my car is a Sprint Booster http://www.sprint-booster.co.uk/, I just find the car unresponsive without it, even remapped, too much pedal travel before the car does anything.
Next comes the re-map, closely followed by the LED tail lights, which make the rear of the car less Toyota like, and RNS.

I don't think I'm going to change much else on the car, the retro-fit Xenon headlamps are going to work out very costly and mine being an early build is bound to have more fitting issues than I have patience to deal with; and I like the idea of lowering it an inch or so, but I've had so many bad experiences of lowered cars that I really don't think I can take the gamble with the mk6. If I could guarantee the ride would be at least as smooth and comfortable as stock I'd maybe go with it, but my daily driver car has Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs and it gets on my nerves after a short time if I drive on bumpy roads or over speed humps which is most of the time.

I'll just stay with the bits after the factory so items like parking sensors, ACC etc are not considered.

Most Useful retro-fit: Bluetooth followed by sub-woofer and luggage net.

Most useless retro-fit: Cruise.

Best Eye Candy Inside: Gear Knob followed by the RNS510.

Best Eye Candy Outside: Rear LEDs.

Once Winter Tyres are fitted, I will assess them and update the above list.
