Volkswagen Golf Accessories

The VW Golf is the most popular Volkswagen model and it’s easy to see why.

Dating back to 1975, the classic model combines style and function, and is many drivers' number one choice for an everyday motor.

It is great the way it is. But here at Finest Car Mats, we like to help people squeeze every last drop out of their car’s potential, which is why we have compiled a list of some excellent accessories for the VW Golf, to really take it up a gear.

Read on to discover, in our opinion, the best Volkswagen Golf upgrades.

VW Golf Car Mats

Keeping the exterior clean is key for maintaining that enviable look as you whizz around the roads; after all it is the part of the car your fellow drivers are going to get a clear look at.

But as the driver, you will spend most of your time looking at your car from the inside, which is why it’s important to create an appealing VW Golf interior.

A great way to do this is by installing Volkswagen Golf car mats, starting at £19.99. Not only do these mats protect your car, but they also add a touch of character, with a variety of materials, trim colours, and even custom embroidery messages on offer.

If you want to go all out, you could compliment your floormats with a custom-fit Golf bootmat.

Switch to Alloy Wheels

Accessoring your VW Golf with alloy wheels is a multi-purpose upgrade.

First things first, alloys are lighter than standard steel car wheels, which improves acceleration, braking, and steering, all allowing for a more seamless driving experience.

Functionally, they also keep your brakes cooler and help prevent rust building.

And last, but perhaps most importantly, they also boost the entire look of your car, and are especially great if you’re trying to make your VW Golf look more sporty and modern.

You can find various sizes and finishes to bring your vision to life.

Air Intake Kit

Investing in an air intake kit allows more cooler air into the engine, which increases its horsepower. Improved airflow also facilitates stronger acceleration.

Installing an air intake kit as a Volkswagen Golf accessory also provides a sporty engine sound, so they could be a particularly good match alongside alloy wheels.

Many of these kits come with reusable filters, which also eradicates the need for frequent replacement, making them a convenient Golf upgrade.

Gloss Black Volkswagen Golf Badges

You can add a stylish VW Golf black badge to the front, rear, both ends of your car, or the wheels to give it a modern and sleek look. 

Available for several different models, these glossy badges really elevate the appearance of your car further, designed with durable plastic, they are a straightforward long-term VW Golf accessory option.

These are a budget-friendly upgrade that are easy to install.

Wrap Your VW Roof

Wrapping the roof of your car is a great way to give your Golf a makeover. It provides a sleek contrast to the rest of your car. For example, you could black wrap the roof of a blue car for a stylish finish.

Visually, a roof wrap is a good upgrade for the Volkswagen Golf, but it also helps you in terms of practicality.

Wraps can help keep the car cooler during hotter periods of the year, and offer UV protection to guard the paint and stop the car fading.
