Golf Mk 7 - Genuine accessories $

[stat71]

Hi all,

Just took deliver of my 103TSI Mk 7 with sunroof and leather. Thought the following might be useful - this was the price list offered for some of the genuine accessories (includes fitting):

Mud flaps, front and rear.. $269.00
Reversible luggage mat with protective flap.. $140.00
Chrome Protective Strip and LED number plate lighting.. $280.00
Roof Racks.. $497.00
Pedal cap set in stainless steel.. $228.00

Or you could wait a few months until they appear on eBay for a third of those prices.

Agreed.
I paid $6 for my license plate led bulbs

[stat71]

Suffice to say I opted to not take any of their genuine accessory options. Agreed - very pricey.

[chrisarmstro]

I've seen the genuine alloy pedal caps for around $90 delivered from germany on ebay already so in the next few months we should see more discounts on accessories

[nickows]

OEM accessories always pricey.....

[bennjamin]

im waiting until these bits are released on ecstuning.com or similar !

$140 for a boot mat is a bit rough.
Does anyone know the price of the body kit bits?

Anyone know of any other decent OEM accessory sites based in AU or US? I'm eyeing up a set of Aspen 15" alloys but trying to do better than $800 through local dealers.

I'm also looking out for these as well, didn't get them priced either.

Has anyone installed an LED number plate light and would they recommend any for the MK7 ?

Nah, I got sunroof, driver assist, roof bars, bike carriers, roof box and mats.
For some reason they didn't try to upsell the accessories. If it wasn't for the VW UK website, I wouldn't have known about most of the gear on offer.

Has anyone looked into tow bars? Not planning on towing anything particularly heavy, but the ability to take a load of garden cuttings for recycling, tow the bins out to the road, put a bike carrier on the back, etc is something I'm looking for.

Im looking at something like this (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Westfalia-Towbar-for-Volkswagen-Golf-Mk7-2012-On-Detachable-Tow-Bar-/281074202589?pt=UK_Car_Accessories_Touring_Travel&hash=item417153f7dd)

detachable head , and is not visible once installed.

Thanks bennjamin, looks interesting. Any local options, or were you looking at importing?

Has anyone actually rang a VW parts department for the prices?.... most the time the car calesmen will put a BIG... and sometimes i mean BIG markup on the accessories.
deal direct with the parts dept.
Example...with one of my golfs the sales staff wanted $290 for 4 floor mats, i walked over to the parts dept and paid 175.

Or you can pick them up on ebay for around $100.......

For me id rather pay a few bucks more for the two years warranty i get... example, our Amarok tonneau cover was lifting a bit in one edge after about 8months of constant use.... was replaced with a brand new one no questions asked.. Thats the one thing i prefer over Ebay.. assurance!

[Ryan_R]

We're not talking "a few bucks" here though. I bought 2 years of extended warranty for the car just from the money I saved getting my RNS510 from eBay and DIY (Mk6 Golf).

The feeling of getting them to fix your car for free under warranty is great though :)
I don't actually think I'll be getting $1900 worth of free stuff though (price of 2 year genuine VW extended warranty) - unless the gearbox dies

[Peteintas]

Ouch...

[Mountainman]

The feeling of getting them to fix your car for free under warranty is great though :)

And the feeling of getting a car that doesn't even need fixing is even better again.

Has anyone had a tow bar fitted in Australia yet? I found out that there is apparently a tow bar available with a 50mm hitch receiver. The part number is VGA803921G713.

Im curious what it looks like fitted and if they need to hack away at the bumper to fit it?

From what I've heard there are none in the country. Earliest they'll get here is first week of August.

Has anyone gone for the bi xenons? I'd be interested to hear about those too.

I have the bi-xenons. Lots of light :cool:, but can be a challenge to the cars you are following if the terrain is up and down (followed the wife home the other night). Love the way they turn into corners too. I'd get them in a flash if you drive regularly on unlit roads, but not sure about the cost for city driving. Oh, and the led DRLs are nice too - sort of completes the look at the front.

They look pretty sweet. Are they the same as the brochure or do we get an alternative in oz?

Same as the aus brochure. Both lights have the "U" surround, but only the outer ones are lit by the DRLs

They are really nice. I just couldn't stretch my budget that far. IMO, they should be standard on the highline models.
