Relatively cheap Scirocco accessories for company car?

Post by P-Ride »

Hey, my Scirocco 122 in Candy White with tinted windows arrives in three weeks!

It's a company car, hence the relatively conservative spec (trust me, I tried!) but I'm very excited!

In terms of keeping it smart, so far I've ordered:
- Black Richmond 'VW Scirocco' tax disc holder
- Skoda Jetti exhaust tips

Aside from also removing all those horrible car lease stickers with a hairdryer, can you think of any more smart, relatively inexpensive accessories I can order for it?

Thanks

P-Ride: I'm in a similar situation - hoping to get my Bluemotion in the next 2-3 weeks. It's been a long wait!
How about:
- replacing some of the bulbs with LEDs (many threads on here about this)
- door sill protectors

hi there having a motability car on a fixed budget i went down this line :( , as mentioned the skoda tips are a must have, followed by the door sill protecters which are on ebay and come from a seller in hong kong or through this site cant remember his name but somone will come up with it.about £50 inc p/p they are just as good as the vw ones at £120 then i went for a set of rubber mats gen vw around £34 ebay just the front as no rear passengers carried well not offen. osram bulbs added from ebay but only the 50% more light uprated ones nothing to get into the warning light coming on. a nice gen vw umbreller that fits in the passengers door storage tray nicely £16 on ebay. then finnished off with a nice german auto club badge for the grill £14. im sure you will get a lot of other ideas as we all have our own thoughts as to what we put on our love and joy. may the wait go quickly. :clap:

- Door sills I've eyed up. The HK ones really look as good as the real thing?
- Rubber mats were the other extra I ordered, mainly because they're about all I could afford after tints!
- LEDs: How much do these cost?

Me too! Mine is due start of October. I have ordered new headlights (Philips blue vision), led side lights, and I am going to give it a good wash, polish and then go over with Autoglym HD wax to protect. I can't wait either. It's taking far too long!

eBay! There appear to be two main types:

- Sills with lightly engraved etchings (£20 upwards)
- Sills with deep, more '3D' engravings (sometimes £80)

This set appear to be deeply engraved and cost £44 including delivery

Those are on my list at next payday! It's to help protect the car as we enter winter...at least that's how I'm justifying spending more money on the car! :D

Nice. Looks like mine are virtually identical I think? (albeit perhaps a longer delivery time!)

And I think they look better than the official ones!

When I got my Scirocco as I put my hand out to shake on the deal with the VW guy I pulled my hand back and said "you can do me some stainless steel sill plates can't you" and he said yes. One of the luxuries of living in London is that there is plenty of competition. I'm sure I could have called another dealer and got them to match my current deal and throw in the sill plates.

Got a set of these and can confirm they are excellent, they arrived within a week and are very easy to fit.

They sell for £70 but viewing the link it shows how to get a £20 discount.
