How long is your Golf shopping list?

[berg]

We all know that the list never seems to get any smaller but I would actually like to get to the point when I have finished modding so that a.) can maybe save a bit towards a new car and b.) spend more on detailing products to maintain it.

At moment have whittled the list down to -

Twintercooler
Leather Armrest
RVC
MFSW
Highline with Polar FIS
Xenons
Pescaras or VZ

So not too bad I suppose but a good £2500-3000k there I guess so will take me over 12 months I reckon.

Whats on your list and do you think it will ever be down to zero? Will you have retired by the time you have finished modding? 

[tommy_a]

once your finished with that list, you will find lots more to do !! it just never ends !!  

My list goes as follows:

RNS-510
Bluetooth
Milltek non-res cat back
Intake
Lowering springs, maybe Eibachs
VMR710's
Full pro detail
Engine + DSG remaps

So ive got lots and lots of saving to do !! :( It will take me a long long time to afford all that, if i ever can !!

[Tamiyoman]

Current mods:-

Possibly adding the following later this year.

Reverse Camera (Eddie-NL)
Bluetooth (only if it works with my Iphone tho!)
Possibly uprated engine mounts after seeing how much the engine moves on the rolling road!

Thats about it

[Tfsi_Mike]

Nah 

Forgot car tax end of this month lol

[monte]

I will have these soon....I hope 

1) ITG Maxogen.
2) Reverse Camera.
3) I'd love a Rieger splitter like Neil  but for practicality could be a tad too low 


Also below are some track mods I was contemplating for a Long time...but I'm not going down this route anymore.
I don't do enough trackdays tbh.

My ed30 is fine as it is for the odd Nurburgring trip once a year.

Still here is the list.


1) Rear ARB.
2) WALK.
3) Upgrade bushes.
4) Track tyres.
5) Lighter brake upgrade.
6) Bilstein Shocks.
