I've decided that this forum is not good - in the best possible way of course!
I've got the modding bug again and although my car is still confirmed as a week 20 build I have been busy buying bits and bobs for it far in advance of its arrival. So far I've ordered up my favourite car air fresheners, a nice minimal tax disc holder, a red ABS cover for the remote control key and replacements headlight and indicator bulbs. No more until it arrives though - the spending needs to stop
Nice to see some more cars appearing although the gallery definitely needs more pics for us "carless" owners to drool over.
My sister told me that she is going to order exactly the same car as me for September delivery - don't know whether to be peeved or flattered. She lives very close to me so it will seem strange if she does that
Im totally not into modding, the only mod I did to my Polo was put a nightmare before christmas tax disk holder on it and thats it! I feel that I wont need to "mod" my Up as it will look "dicked" when I get it! I am however going to splash out on some chrome wing mirrors and a spoiler when they become available!
After I pick him up tomorrow I'm going to go and treat him to a brand new cherry baby jelly air freshner ..... mmmmmmm!!!
have to say I agree !! this time no mods been there and done it feel I want my blackie as it arrives apart from an nice,black air freshener,and maybe some chrome bits,and then again will the sound pack be good enough ??? NO thats it no more
I know what you mean. Still waiting for our up but have already purchased new indicator bulbs, two recaro car seats for my kids, a white iPhone car charger (to match the car ), chrome strip for the tailgate and a whole host of new car cleaning products .
Perhaps my use of the word "modifications" was a bit extreme! I'll not be adding go faster stripes or a set of spinners lol. I'm undecided about mudflaps as they always seem to catch on the monstrous speed bumps leading to my house... all 14 of them
Ah to **** with sensible it's being dropped with some 3sdm or rotiform wheels as soon as it gets here
It did start off as a cheap daily alternative to my old Audi that does 18 mpg and i sweared i would leave it alone (just like i sweared when i bought the Audi, now it's 500hp i find the economy has tailed off)
It's a slippery slope, today it's bulbs next week it's air suspension
itll only be the little bits for me like most of you, matts, airfreshner to match tax disc holder, i havent started looking yet.... but i might do that in a mo...
I just read in the accessories brochure for the Key cover 'Simply glue the durable key cover to the key and you're ready to go' Do you really nead to 'Glue' it?
Yeah to mods. I am looking for my new wheels already with stretched tyres (euro look), waiting for coilovers to come out, alreay got mats. I was going to get the sports pack purely for lowered suspension but saw it only lowered it by 15mm, so thought I would save that money and buy coilovers and drop it some more!!
What wheels to get ideally I would love to get TH lines but way too expensive well out of my budget anyway!
Now looking at BBS, Lenso or Ronal so many choices really need to find a website that has the car and lets you try on wheels..... anyone know of one?
It is so true once you start you keep going I swore I was only going to change my wheels on my bug, the wheels have been changed 4 times, lowered, new stereo, amp and sub, bonnet bras, spoiler, new mats, then other financial commitments got in the way so the modding stopped, but it is soon to start when little Herbie up! arrives can't wait!

Hi guys,
Where’s the best place to get a replacement light switch. eBays full of them but I’m not sure half of them will work. I’ve tried one of our T5 and that’s different and most of the eBay ones state that they fit both t5’s and up’s?
Trying to avoid the main stealers obviously

Hey there guys and dolls.

Hi Guys & Girls
Bored and locked down, got to thinking about how rare my lovely TSi is. So had a look at the DVLA survivors website
As of Q3 2019, so 6 months old, but really 3, as data runs quarterly in arrears
GTi 2724 and TSi 535, far less common, more exclusive, so why run with the herd...
