Wish they'd bought in the heated steering wheel 12 months earlier

Could be a retro fit job for the steering wheel.

Heated steering wheel would be good!

Would it be this bulletin they would mention mirror-link if that was going to be standard on the car Lee?

I like the idea of a heated steering wheel as a lot lesser cars have them a standard. Work colleagues bog standard Clio for example. However I don't know if I'd want to delay my build to add one.

Yes if they were going to make that an option it would of been mentioned Steve, certainly going to be available on new polo.

Problem for people is if you want to add the heated steering wheel then you will have to pay the price increases as well on all of the other bits and car, 0.5% on the 28th of April.

[p3asa]

Ah of course. It then becomes a dear option.

@evo1986, I've heard that Dynaudio availability for the R has now been shifted from BW22 to BW45.  Are you able to confirm this?

[JBirchy]

Ahhh. I would have definitely ordered a heated steering wheel! At just £120 it's a mega bargain for the amount of pleasure that would bring!

Considering the availability of cheap money, that 0.5% increase is a kick in the teeth for new customers
