The VW dust caps are nice.

The silver ones with a blue VW logo?  I'm not keen on ones with logos on, and would want gloss black so they blend with the black of the wheel rather than stand out.  If you fancy ones with a VW logo on, search on eBay and you'll find ones that have a black VW logo that pretty much maches the one on the GTI key fob and the centre wheel caps.

That thermo mug is pretty cool though!

Edit:  To be fair, these don't look too bad...

I had special edition TT valve caps and they were nicked within a week. I wouldn't bother to be honest

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

Found these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271261089762?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

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.

Thanks for the response, so they will fit with the GTI key fob as the GTI part is detachable? I am interested as my keys are always scracted from being in my pocket with loose change etc.

Yes, leave the GTI/GTD tags off and they look like they will fit.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

That's great then, they will be my first present for the car, also sorting new music for the car. Then some forum stickers for the rear windows.

The longer the wait, the more stuff I'll end up ordering (So this could get expensive!!) :laugh:

Aye, like I said before, I doubt I'll bother - plain glossy black ones might be OK, but being where they are, they get dirty anyway.

Just got my brother to get one of these from Stoke Audi (as the A3's come with them) as he was passing today. Thought they looked a little nicer that the black plastic one that comes with the car.
