Just thought I'd say hello. This is my first ever from new car affectionately know as "The Git". He's 3 days old today.
Pearlescent black and reversing sensors are the only options. 2013 spec.
Not planning on changing much, maybe a stubby ariel.

Thanks. I've decided to keep it as clean as possible. I Might even debadge it. I'm also considering having the wheels coated/painted black, but not sure on that one.
I have already taken off the dealer stickers and got a small black tax disk holder on the way.
Will get a GTI footrest as shown in other threads here as I think that finishes the cabin nicely.
This forum is a great source of info.
GTI footrest installed as well as black minimalist tax disk holder the dealer fitted on was massive and stuck out like a sore thumb.
Footrest pictures to follow.
The git is going in for a checkup tomorrow as the bluetooth sound has never worked and the steering is squeaky near full lock.
I've finally installed the footrest. Was a simple 10 min job with a kit from amazon/ebay £15. 1 plastic nut secures it at the top, offer up the metal cover to the rest and drill the 3 securing holes then replace. I added a small bit of red plastic behind the GTI because I'm a tart
I've also ordered a plate from the DVLA. Anyone have any recomendations for makers. I was thinking Demonplates who seem decent but I'm not sure if I should go with a plain simple one or one of the raised letter versions?
Number plate wise I was going to get demon plates to do mine but I was in a rush so went to halfrauds - was around £30 front and back the only thing I was concerned about was the makers mark e.g "Evans halshaw, lookers, inchcape" and being halfords I thought it was going to be a mess but they actually brand it with a tiny translucent one so its barely noticeable... Yet legal, I just had 3D lettering for mine.
The raised lettering does look good though on the guys who have it
