What's you plans for the GTI/GTD when it arrives

Drive the **** out of it. 

[JoeGTI]

I'll be whipping off the nasty plastic number plates the dealer fits and getting a set of pressed metal ones.
And the usual proper wash / sealant as per everyone else.

And drive it like its meant to be driven

I'd like to get a couple of key covers for the GTD to protect them from scratches etc, as I've ordered keyless entry so they'll be spending most of their life in a pocket or bag.

I have these below on my current Rocco keys , and its kept the keys in mint condition with no scratches whatsoever, however I believe the MK7 keys are a different shape. Anyone know where (of if) MK7 versions are available from ?

Good idea, lets break out the optimism!

Sort out the coming home lights to stay on properly rather than having to flash the main beam stalk.

Can you explain this one though?  What are coming home lights and what are you doing to them?

[JoeGTI]

On the mk5, the lights would stay on for 10-20 seconds after you lock the car.
They changed it in the mk6, you have to flick the main beam before you exit the car, something I personally never remember or bother to do.

With a bit of vag com coding you can set it to how it works in the mk5.

Cool, thanks.  Is there a repository somewhere that tells you all about the code?  Seems like a lot of stuff has been mentioned that you can alter like this, is there a website dedicated to that kind of thing?

This thread gives some idea as to what can be coded but some of the things that you could code on the mk6 are standard on the 7, like dial staging:

Does anyone know what is standard from that list on MK 7 and is all this equal on GTI and GTD or does GTI get some preferential? Like the dial staging
