Received my 7.5 GTI last month and wish I had taken a few optimal extras now.

Are there any from the brochure which I can get added without costing an arm and leg or completely taken the car apart? Or am I too late.

I was thinking of things like:

- Rear camera
- Park Assist
- Dynamic Light assist
- Lane assist

Also the PP version obviously has a slight bhp increase. What have Volkswagen done to increase this? Added anything extra to the engine?

Cheers

Yep all can be retro fitted & various other people have done in other counties...

This person has done the lot & is a business I think, very well known of Ross-Tech...& here is link to the PDF on how to do the lot..

Trouble is money fro the parts, VCDS & VAGCANpro, & removing front, rear bumpers, interior trim, etc....

the PP pack got the extra bhp with an ECU tweak & only to offset the extra weight of the FXD (haldex unit) & the "R" brakes front & rear, no other reason....
