Hi - first time Cali Owners! V. Excited.

[JimboT]

Having looked at so many versions, conversions etc. the quality and set up of the California was just too perfect to ignore. We're the second owners of her - A TDI SE 140 DSG Auto 2014.

She's absolutely factory standard, which we love, but.... we are considering making a few enhancements: Hopefully you can point me in the direction of existing conversation trails...

- Banded steelies 17" or 18" and where to buy them, which tyres?
- Coilover or lowering springs, 30mm or 40mm drop?
- New media head unit with apple car play - any highly recommended?
- Sidebars?
- Privacy glass?
- Our control panel has a dodgy knob (it doesn't click) can it be replaced?
- Any ideas on USB charging ports?

Thanks in Advance - James & Rachel

I really liked the 18" steels for the Brazil market Amarok, never got around to buying any. They go in & out of stock with Tamar and Stitches+Steel: https://www.tamarwheels.co.uk/shop/vw-t5-t6-amarok-steel-wheels-tyres-18-silver-5x120-225-45-18/

Welcome here!
Tinted glass - yes!
USB Ports - we transformed one in the kitchen unit next to 230v

Happy Calitransforming
