I found quite a few things on EBay .... rear spoiler (pre-painted to match EOS Colour code), chrome door handle covers, chrome side mirror covers, and sport pedals. Prices were quite good .. some was from Hong Kong and some from the US. Have bought all of the preceding and have been reasonably happy. If you are interested go to "Buy", then to Auto Parts and Accessories, then do a word search with word "eos"

Chrome Trim

chrome trim part # 1Q0-071-360

$93 - local dealer (plus tax)
$68.64 - Patrickaccessories.com (plus shipping?). I had to email for a price, it was not listed on their website.
$69.78 - www.1stvwparts.com (plus shipping?). Again an email was required.

Still on the fence... so no picts. But it would look like this (Jetta):http://oempl.us/images/A5_Jetta_Trunk_Bar.jpg

just spotted the chrome mirrors on ebay uk
£39.99 compared to $9.99, or £4.99
yet another example of rip off uk
and do you guys in the states realise that a 2.0t auto with leather can cost up to $60,000 over here
anyway like the small spoiler on ebay US

I checked EBay US, and VAGTeam has the same price for all countries .... $4.99 US starting bid, or $9.99 Buy it Now, plus $25.00 US for shipping to US, or Canada, or UK. I paid $4.99 US plus $25.00 US shipping, and figure you should be charged the same.
I bought and really like the spoiler .... perfect colour match, perfect fit, and not too obtrusive. I had it shipped to my daughter in Boston and picked it up there ... with freight, it came to about $250 US.
EOS is also expensive here in Canada, where I live but not quite as bad as UK. For Sport model, leather upholstery and a few extras it is about $40,000 US.

EOS Accessory Photos

Good Day,
Here are photos you requested ... quickly took them this morning. It was cold out there .... 3 degrees celsius, so surface of car was a little frosty! I have included the side mirror covers, door handle covers, and a couple of views of the small rear spoiler. Hope they come through okay?

UK - AUS - Sticker Shock

Being from the US I can say I am a fortunate young Eos owner. I recently went to the other VW websites for other countries and regions and I am having sticker shock on your behalf. I priced a comp Eos "overseas" and If I were to buy it anywere else it would cost approx 1/3 more than I paid here. That is not a small bit of change.

Please don't think I am bragging. I'm not. For all you UK and AUS folks, cheers. You have a wonderful automobile. I only wish there was a way you could buy one at US prices and ship it without the customs charge that would bring it to the same price you pay there.

Well it's not just Eoses, Pepino, it's cars in general.

What you pay in Dollars we pay in Pounds! I don't know today's US prices exactly but if you pay $20000 maybe for a V8 Mustang we would have to pay £23-24000 - twice as much! What does a Chrysler Crossfire 3.2 V6 retail for over there? Here it's the equivalent of $50000! And for the SRT6 version it's over $70000!

You really don't know you're born over there when it comes to new car prices. Even European cars are cheaper there; how about $43250 for the cheapest possible 6 cylinder BMW 3-series? $62000 for a Chrysler Grand Voyager 3.3 Ltd?

Like I said, neh, I'm not bragging. I've been to the UK. I know life is expensive (not just the Eos).

A good friend of mine's mother lives there and I have visited a handful of times.

just sharing my thoughts and sorrow for your checkbooks.

in the US:

cheapest 3 series BMW is about $35000
crossfire 3.2 is also around $30-35
V8 mustang GT $24000
V8 mustang cobra $45000
my Eos: about 17000 pounds.


like I said... wish I could buy one and ship it to you all.

The Siamese twin (is that pc now?) polo neck outfit is the best. Just don't fall out with your partner, and if you share it with your dog don't let him see a cat!

I thought I'd seen everything!! But you're right GG, the 'twintop' [do Vauxhall know?] is the winner! What about changing gear in a manual - is it 'hands under' or 'hands over'?? "Sorry officer, I was so busy working out where the gear stick was I didn't see that corner!"

Fred,

I'm not that hardy or foolish .. left the car in the garage last night and took it out first thing this morning to take the pictures; however, I have been taking it out at 8 and higher. Keep the "climate control" top down setting a little higher, side windows up, warm hat on my bald head and I'm in seventh heaven.

VW must be very hard up for royalties! Can't believe will they get any from that stuff .... seems to me they could put more effort and professionlism into after market accessories and equipment! Saw a note from somebody on this web-site that he found pedals too close together ......... maybe he should be wearing those slippers to solve his problem? Just joking!
