Cheap Gti self isolation purchases list
« on: 01 April 2020, 09:23 »
While we are stuck in doors I thought it might be useful to have a list of cheap Gti purchases we could make to cheer ourselves up.

2 that come to mind for me was the led boot light

And replacement side covers for the gearstick

This is likely to be a dangerous and potentially expensive (yes I know you said cheap) thread, Rob.

I keep telling myself not to look at clubsport exhausts while I’m not getting paid !
But I can stretch to a £10 purchase. Just about!

I recently changed my footwell LEDs to red ones, £15 delivered from ebay. Given all the red lighting in the car I can't understand why VW fit white ones? The replacement holders are fractionally too big but a few moments with a file soon gets them in :smiley:

Blimey that's expensive! I'm sure mine was under a fiver from an Audi dealer! They door look so much better though.
