I will try asking for the same. El lobo confused me with his post. I remeber seeing only the silver body covers in the garage (cars were covered in them) I have no idea what are DuPont Tyvek covers

Yup, i actually forgot, what all i read on chethan's thread. The Garmin is also costing much cheaper at 4500. This should do for now.

The 3D mats in this thread are sweet! and are black in color.
Kagu 3D mats.
Any purchase links for the same model that you have come across?

Yes, i will consider the tyre change as well provided by budget doesn't exceed from what i have planned initially.

On flipkart it is priced at 9,990. I guess you bought it from a local dealer at that price?

Hehe, you may be right on this one. But atleast ill try till my itch dies down. Trust me when i say i park in an open dusty area. Within a day the car would like as if it was hit by a Sand storm.

3D Kagu is good and worth the money spent. |
Yes, i shall allocate my budgets for tyre change as well.you may be right on this. Frankly i had no problem with Eagle's. May be the level of comfort after upgrade will be on a different level altogether. Shall check if i can squeeze in some more for the tyres.

Thank you El lobo, I guess the shades are different. Its Shadow blue on Vento and Tempest Blue Metallic on Jetta. I shall compare and check if both the color look similar. This thread is very huge and didn't know where to start and hence turned to Jetta thread for maintenance tips from the current owners

Can you let me know what this DuPont Tyvek is ? I have seen the regular silver covers.

For mats I would suggest Kagu 3D mats. Worth every penny.
Looking forward to your ownership thread and more pics of your car in better light. |
Trust me, I had a pretty bad experience with Google maps on my iphone and hence stopped using it ever since and i feel the stand alone might be more reliable and time saving and hence the idea to invest in One. The 3D mats in the first page of the link you posted are lovely! Any purchase links that you are aware of ?

Thank you drmohitg, I was equally stunned looking at the color and the presence it displays! I'm really glad i have opted for this color.
Uploading few more pics on from yesterday, please forgive my photo re-sizing skills
The vin number has B before 14 so i wonder if its Feb manufactured or March. The SE said for Jetta its diffrerent(vin decoding) when compared to Vento and polo and there will be no alphabet 'A' for Jetta's and so its March manufactured he said. Is this true ?
