Are you looking for something to make your ride stand out from the crowd? These badges come from the beloved Golf R and the European R-line and they are sure to catch a few eyes. Hopefully only while the car is stopped, if those eyes belong to the driver. These exact fit, factory replacements for your Golf or GTI emblems come straight from Volkswagen.

Originally designed for MKV R32's, this belly pan covers the entire underside of your engine whereas the factory belly pan stops halfway. The R32 belly pan helps to protect against inclement weather, water and road debris which can effect critical engine components without the protection of the belly pan, causing corrosion and problems down the road. Keep the bottom-side of your engine looking good and staying protected with a full under-engine-coverage R32 belly pan kit!

We're excited; and with good reason. ECS Tuning proudly introduces our new line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET®. GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. You can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your alloy wheels

Mount up. Add an ECS Tuning dogbone mount stiffener and tighten the tranny-to-chassis connection. Reduce drivetrain movement--especially when your right foot is all the way down--with this high-durometer polyurethane insert, available in red or black. This complete kit installs easily to add muscle to your flabby OE pendulum mount. No need to remove the old mount; just insert the stiffener and fasten it to the chassis with the stretch bolt and large washer included in the kit.

Reduce weight. Reduce heat. Reduce warping. ECS Tuning engineered 2-Piece semi-floating rotors offer real world benefits that can be felt on both the street and track! Our 2-Piece rotors combine the advantages of weight savings and rapid heat dissipation to provide a rotor superior to stock while preventing warping and extending component life. The reduction of unsprung weight improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.

The belly pans provided for modern Volkswagens have always appeared to be under-engineered, out of place, cost-cutting parts. Many enthusiasts have chosen to run their cars without this protective cover entirely. This decision, however, ignores the unfortunate reality that the belly pan protects several critical engine and drivetrain components. ECS has a much more sensible solution – The Street Shield Skid Plate features corrosion resistant, air-ventilated, 3/16” thick 5052 aluminum, with black zinc-coated steel hardware, offering complete engine undercarriage protection.

The fender liner is an arched, molded plastic panel that shields the inner fender and other components from road debris, dirt, water, and snow. Driving with a cracked, damaged, or missing liner exposes body panels and other components housed inside the fenders to damage. ECS Tuning has a great selection of genuine VW or Bremmen Parts fender liners to choose from.

The MKVI GTI design displays a subdued power as well as an attention to balance and form. Adding aftermarket body accessories will oftentimes upset this balance by introducing foreign design elements. By choosing genuine OEM VW accessories, you retain the hard-earned design perfection that comes from the factory, while adding a performance-oriented dimension to your vehicle. The VW Front Lip Spoiler Kit for your MKVI GTI comes in 6 colors, including a primer option for your creative use. Everything required for installation is included.

Now they've put the power of Raw Science to work in a complete professional car care line that combines surface-safe cleaners with lasting protectants and sealers. Stop squirting dish detergent into a bucket. Remove the toughest dirt, even from alloy wheels, and restore your car's exterior and interior finishes to a rich, lasting luster.

Doing a cooling system refresh, or just replacing worn out and soft old hoses? Why settle for stock when you can get the added life and heat tolerance of silicone hoses? The ECS Silicone Hose Kit retains OEM fitment while resisting heat that softens the factory hoses. Upper and lower radiator hoses are included, both in advanced 3-ply black silicone.

Ready to blow off a little steam? Get Forge under your hood. Stock diverter valves just can't handle performance upgrades. Add a little boost and they get all weak in the knees and go to pieces. Forge knows this. That's why they've engineered boost-hardy blow off and diverter valves tough enough to take the pressure without blowing their lids. Aluminum housing. Faster Response. Works and plays well with engine management systems.

Forget that Final Frontier stuff, most of the time, you're more concerned with Inner Space--as in where to store your stuff. Glove boxes and door pockets fill quickly with gloves, glasses, and those movie rentals you've been meaning to return for a month. What you need is more storage. That's where VW seat tray kits come to the rescue. Available for driver and passenger side front seats, these neutral black sliding storage trays come as a complete kit with everything you need to install them.

To secure shocks and struts to their mounts, the retaining nut must be torqued to its proper specification using a torque wrench. Strut nut sockets allow for the use of an allen wrench to hold the damper shaft while utilizing your torque wrench on the socket to achieve proper torque. An improper torque value may result in premature mount failure - or worse. Some aftermarket strut nut sizes differ from what was originally found on the vehicle. Please measure your nuts to be sure - alternatively, pick up our Schwaben 5 Piece Strut Nut Socket Set and be covered for all common sizes.

Engineered by our R&D team, this new product addresses limitations of the plastic OE part. Its larger internal fluid passage increases flow for fast clutch engagement and release. To reduce flex and heat distortion, the new block uses no plastic whatsoever, replacing it with a solid block of machined aluminum, black anodized for hardness and corrosion protection. Carefully designed; artfully executed. One look shows the added value of the new design; a test drive confirms it.

There is no reason why you have to live with malfunctioning windows in your MKV GTI.

Please specify front or rear and left or right when purchasing - the product is door-specific.

PCV systems don't just limit harmful emissions. They remove blow-by gases and contaminants that contain water, oxidants, and acids that degrade lube oil and shorten engine life. A faulty PCV system can cause a wide range of problems, including poor performance, rough or high idle, multiple oil leaks, and contamination of vehicle sensors and catalytic converters. Both ECS-assembled and genuine OEM PCV Service Kits include the PCV Valve and oil separator, PCV Breather Tube with screw, and the PCV Breather Hose.
