Default Favourite Purchase So Far...

We have all bought something for our car...what is your favourite purchase so far? (No...'my car' is not a valid answer to this question! ) By favourite purchase I mean absolutely anything you've bought for your car except the car itself. This can range from a air freshener to a set of alloys or even a turbo!

custom fuel/boost remap comes to mind. Quicker to drive than standard (and it was lively enough anyway) but better economy says that this was a good purchase on two accounts.

b: One off drivers side footwell mat. Stays in place. Don't care about passengers front or rear, they can please themselves with the off the shelf items.

c: spray bottle of tesco bug and tar remover at 99p - shifts all kind of baked on window stuff, lights, plates 'n' all.

Def. my remap. Changes the power band completely!

Aside from that, not bought much for it! I did get a set of knock off mats for every bit of carpet there, that clip in on studs - rather than official VW ones that were a rip off.

Thats about it really!

without a doubt it has to be the remap cant think of anything for the price that could improve a car so much

but a close 2nd has to be the auto window module total closure and wing mirrors fold up all without having to upgrade my alarm
