Volkswagen Up Tuning & Performance Parts

Up

Don't let the size fool you. The Volkswagen Up! has always punched above its weight, and with the right VW Up mods, it can be a rapid, sharp and satisfying drive.

Here at Awesome GTI, we've been living and breathing VAG cars since 1989. Whether you're running the standard 1.0, the 115hp Up! GTI or the e-Up, we stock parts and upgrades to suit every version and every goal.

VW Up Parts for Every Build

The range covers a lot of ground:

  • Brakes: HEL braided brake lines, EBC Apollo big brake kits and upgraded pads and discs
  • Suspension: anti-roll bars, performance bushes and lowering options
  • Engine: NGK iridium spark plugs, ignition service kits and ECU remaps
  • Bodystyling: badges, body kits and interior accessories
  • Short shift: the 4H-Tech short shift kit for the Up! GTI's 6-speed MQ200 gearbox

VW Up Upgrades: Where to Start?

If you've got the GTI, a RacingLine Stage 2 ECU remap is one of the most rewarding VW Up upgrades you can make. For the standard 1.0, fresh iridium plugs and a proper service kit go a long way. Browse by engine using the selectors in the side bar to see what's confirmed for your specific car.

We use genuine and proven parts. No corners cut, no compromises. That's been the way since day one.

Explore the full Volkswagen range or get in touch if you'd like a recommendation from someone who actually knows these cars.
