No spare.
I need to talk to the dealer as I appear not to have a towing eye or wherl cap hook or anything.
Towing eye may be worth while if you don't get the tyre foam stuff either? If not I am surprised the car can leave a VW dealer without something to help in the event of a puncture, no matter how good or bad they are whether its space saver or tyre foam. If you get/need a spare I guess it will need to be secured someway or another.
It comes with breakdown cover at least, I will be getting a can of tyre foam.
No towing eye on any car let alone a track biased car is a bit of an oversight.
Can anyone confirm the lashing eyes are there for a luggage net? I'd be surprised if one wasn't supplied considering there is no parcel shelf to keep things contained during a roll over.
so you are gonna need:
Generic tyre foam or a specific VW foam kit with case
little hook for the black caps
alloy bar for safe wheel removal to avoid calipers
locking wheel nut (don't answer that)
tow hook (or loop as it looks)
Net fixing points? Or locations for trim pieces if you had a false floor? Alternatively you could have a space saver (bit heavy i guess) and wheel kit that sits neatly next to it to hold all the other parts? See below, (Minus the sub) it would sit neat and tidy without issue in a crash, and you lift the lot out when on track.

You know this "ring/race" setting is niggling me.
The ring setting was set to give a bit of compliance because of the undulating surface, it needed a bit more compliance.
Therefor, race mode cannot be ring mode as for a dry circuit the surface would be spot on and a harder setting would be required.
The Ring setting would niggle me too. Most of the other stuff I would happily do without but on a car built purely from that time and so heavily advertised (rightly so) I think the absence of the mode setting would bother me too.. I guess it would put dampers in comfort mode? and the engine, steering etc in Sport? (if it has active dampers)
