New owner, Loving the ID.3
Morning to all
Just picked up my new (to me)ID.3.
Its a Life,Pro Performance in 58(62)KWH guise.
Bit of step up from my Jap spec Nissan Leaf!
Hopefully get more involved and gain some valuable info from more experienced members on here.
Thanks

There's lot to enjoy about the car. it's a real wow when you first drive the car and see how it behaves.
As with all cars there will be a few things that make you think I wish they had done that better, but on the whole they have got the car about right. The software is being improved all be it slower than we would have all hoped for.
Welcome to the forum, hopefully you'll get any questions answered reasonably and you can pick your way through any replies that conflict.

Thanks for the welcome, chaps.
Weren't the Andoya's an option on the life, pro?
The other thing I was going to ask was about retro fitting a reverse camera?
(Bit strange it didn't have one as standard but I presuming VW wanted you to splash out on the option lists)
Anyone know of a company ca retro fit?

Really enjoying the ID and adding a few bits to make it mine.
Added genuine mud flaps all round (bit of a pain to remove all 4 wheels but it did mean I could clean and coat with Fusso wax.)
As ,it seems VW don't do fitted seat covers I found some semi fit covers on ebay.
I'm quite pleased with them.

Looks real good, Andoyas are the best wheel option IMHO as I also have them on my Life Pro Performance!
I've been going back and fourth on the mudflaps for my ID3 and I think looking at this I'll pick up a set.
In regards to the rear view camera.. I've had vw-retrofit.co.uk price up the rear camera installation and he quoted £520 as he needs to order the parts in. I will also highly recommend VW-Retrofit as he previously fitted a digital dash into my old 2017 Seat Leon FR and activated Apple CarPlay.

That's a great price on the rear camera!
Wish I'd known about them before,I have mine booked in with a firm in Devon next month and there a fair bit dearer than that.
Never mind!
I do prefer the look of the genuine VW mud flaps as the after market ones look as if there not finished off properly ( to square on fitting to the bodywork, the vw ones curve in at the top)
I got mine from LLL parts took a week or so to get them but they arrived and they usually have discount codes .

On my life that I just traded in - I fitted a set of £14 flaps from Amazon and they were great. I left them on the car as they were so cheap and now the same ones are £30-40 on Amazon
How much are those Vw original ones nowadays? Btw - they are so easy to fit.
