Top 10 lifestyle accessories for Volkswagen Golf GTI enthusiasts
Whether you're lucky enough to own a Volkswagen Golf GTI or whether you have to be content with just dreaming about one, the good news is that you can still get some super-cool GTI accessories without having to commit to those expensive monthly car-repayments. We pick our top ten favourites.
1. GTI Wristwatch
This rev-counter-inspired GTI watch is an affordable way of looking like the cool, GTI-loving cat that you are. It retails for R750.00 and we reckon it will be as reliable as the car itself, but without the expensive repair costs once you run out of warranty/maintenance plan.
2. Mens GTI Statement Puffy Jacket
Puffy jackets are all the rage at the moment and already cost upwards of R800.00 at most reputable stores. Why not make it worth your while and opt for this lightweight GTI jacket instead? We love the red zipper detail and lettering. It will cost you R899.00. (There are jackets for the ladies, too!)
3. GTI Mk1 Coffee Mug
If you like your coffee as strong and uplifting as a GTI, what better mug to drink it out of than this Mk1 number? An ideal gift for the true GTI aficionado, and an absolute steal at R70.00.
4. GTI Essential Duffel
This spacious and practical duffel bag with large, red GTI lettering on the side will leave no doubt in anyone's mind that your preferred method of travel is inside this iconic vehicle. Whether you own one or not is completely irrelevant... Not too pricey either, at R749.00.
5. GTI Five Hook Keyring Holder
Let's hope your partner shares your affection for the GTI, because having this keyring holder in your house will make quite a statement. You can always hang it in the study if your wife (or husband) doesn't feel that it fits in with the rest of the décor. It costs R599.00.
6. GTI Collection Polarized Sunglasses
These high-quality polarized sunglasses are so classy, you might look as though you belong in a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S e-hybrid (R3 099 000) rather than a GTI. Either way, get ready to impress your friends. R2500.00.
7. GTI Motorsport Mouse Pad
Running your mouse over this GTI mouse pad has never felt this good. A great gift for the man or woman in your life who can't get enough of anything GTI, and it won't cost you the earth, either - only R45.00.
8. GTI Gust Umbrella
If you live in a place where strong wind usually accompanies the rain, this brolly will withstand strong gusts of wind and keep from turning inside out so you don't look like an idiot with a substandard umbrella. R369.00.
9. GTI Aluminium Water Bottle
The least expensive way to flaunt your GTI affection as you go about your daily business, is with this high-quality aluminium water bottle. Nobody at the office or gym will mistake it for their own, that's for sure. R99.00.
10. GTI Traveller Toiletry Bag
Keep your toiletries tidy and organised in this stylish and functional GTI travel bag. A must for the travelling GTI-lover. R329.00.
