Accessories for new GTI owner
« on: 30 October 2017, 21:20 »
So my sister has just bought a used Red Mk7 GTi which she collects on Saturday. Its an upgrade from a 10yr old mk5 170 GT. What are the nice little things you can buy that make it that little bit special? E.g key rings?

A colleague of mine bought me one of these https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-Volkswagen-Keyring-Golf-GTI-GTD-R-R32-Mk1-MK2-Mk3-Mk4-Mk5-Mk6-MK7-Key-Chain/362094666997?hash=item544e8624f5

I’m pretty fond of it  :smiley: and would be quite handy for a sister to hook her keys out of her handbag easily.
Not that I carry a dainty handbag.
And if I did it would be our little secret...  :whistle:

I just picked up one of those they looked nice. Shame they don't make an R version for me.

I don't think she's into that.

Any other suggestions? I believe it will come with Mats was thinking a boot liner but her mk5 has one and I am sure it will fit with a bit of Stanley knife help.

Replacement foot rest so it matches the pedals, much better. And the Audi 12v plug, small change but worthwhile :smiley:

+1 for the pedal box.
VW also do a GTI sports bag in the red check upholstery colours. Not for me but each to their own.

you know what...I don't have any of these things for my R. :grin:

I have thought about the foot rest myself for the DSG left leg pedal, never mind her, I just don't seem to get around to buying one bit like the paddle extensions, I refuse to pay large amounts of money for them and the stick on ones just look naff.

Got any links to the foot rest, good quality cheap?
