Stuff to buy for the Mk7

[Jimble]

Where do you apply the stickers Jimble? Rear window, rear right, rear left, etc ?

I'll most likely put one either side in the quarter windows in the the rear doors like they are in my mk6.

I'm a long way off collecting mine but already looking to buy it some extras.

If you buy those, you won't be able to fit the GTI/GTD tags onto the bottom of your keys - they extend the length of the key.

What extends the length of the key? I thought the GTI/D part was just the bottom where you put a keyring?

Besides a Monza red richbrook tax disc holder, the only thing I would consider adding to my car, at a push, is a change of valve caps on the wheels to a gloss black to match the gloss black on the wheels, but doubt I'll make that happen.  Don't like any stickers of any kind in the windows, especially dealer stickers where I've specifically asked them not to bother.  My car isn't a mobile advertisement for my dealership!

I am 100% with you on this one. I can't stand dealer stickers or dealer reg plates!

Thanks for the great responses guys. I'm tempted by the RichBrook tax disc holder but at £20 it's fairly expensive. Especially when you think of all the tax you're already paying!

I heard a rumour that if you request,you get a nice keyring also from your dealer.(old regulars will understand).

Yeah, I've also requested reg plates that do not have the horrible black section on the bottom showing the dealers name.

You can get the tax disc holder for £15, and for me is one of the few accessories that fits perfectly with the car.

My dealer is already throwing in a free metal VW keyring and a GTI pen...makes it all totally worth it!

Well I've got a Monza red one with a twist off back, £15 from here:

You can get different colours and metal finishes.  Ether get one to match the colour of the car, or the red accents, or both if it's a red car!  It looks awesome against a white car though.

do you not see the sticky pads from the outside? I don't really like the fake screw heads either, sorry

If you look closely, yes, you can see the sticky pads, but not really from a passing glance.  Those fake hex screws used to be real as that's how it was held together, but changing tax disc was a pain, so they made it a twist off back.   Each unto their own, I think it looks really nice in the car, and waaaaaay better than any crap the dealer sticks on the window!  Plenty of other styles to choose from though besides richbrook if you do fancy an alternative.

The VW dust caps are nice.

The GTI thermo mug is also very nice, one of those with a button which you can open and close. It's the same diameter as the exhaust pipe
