    Retrofitting options for VW Golf Mk7 (2019)

    Hi Everyone!

    I've recently purchased a VW Golf Comfortline 2019 model. Its just about 3 weeks. It comes with the driver assistance and audio package. The driving experience has been excellent so far.

    There are three areas where I seek the members' advice:

    1. I'd like to install fog lights and upgrade the steering wheel (with paddle shifters and progressive steering). Is there anybody who can guide me on how to do this? I've never done any retrofits by myself.

    2. Is the AFS feature no longer available in the Golf? I do not see it in any of the models, even in the Highline, Golf GTI/R - as per the website.

    3. I'd also like to active some of the VCDS tweaks - any friendly member who may be willing to help?

    I'm based out of Perth, WA

    Hi Hez5,

    No, couldnt find one. The dealers are quoting very high and themselves recommended me to exchange the car for a GTI/R line

    Hi Everyone!

    I wish to have fog lamps installed and I've located the units at aliexpress: 2pcs Fog Light For VW Golf 7.5 MK7 A7 Facelift 2017 2018 Car Styling Front Halogen Fog Lamp Fog Light With Bulbs And Wire-in Car Light Assembly from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

    The rotary switch needs to be ordered as separate.

    I also wish to have my steering wheel upgraded to the GTI type.

    As I lack the expertise and tools, is there any place in Perth where I can get this done or someone who can help me out? I'm willing to pay an installation fee.

    My car is a Golf Comfortline 2019 model with DA & AV pack.

    Has anyone done such an upgrade before?

    I would contact someone like VCDS SYDNEY - Home and ask if they have any partners/connections over in WA who could source/install these parts for you.

    I'm located at Perth, so I dont think VCDS Sydney will be of help, unless they're got a setup in Perth.
