    Hello, and thanks for coming and having a look at our forum, hopefully we will get to know many of you as friends and customers before long, there's a little bit of history about us below, and just to clarify, the only thing we share with the "Big Boys Toys" that were based in Essex, is the name and logo, everything else is different!

    Who are Big Boys Toys?
    The Big Boys Toys name has been synonymous with the VW scene for many years, as a supplier of both stock & aftermarket parts for classic Volkswagens. In 2007, the company was acquired by the VW Heritage group the UKs largest aircooled parts specialists ushering in a new era for Big Boys Toys, expanding stock capacity whilst focusing on the watercooled side of the business. The company was moved from its birthplace in Thurrock, Essex, down to the Heritage headquarters in West Sussex, where they now share a 20,000 square foot warehouse - home to over 14,000 different parts! The aircooled division of Big Boys Toys was successfully incorporated into VW Heritage & Street Style & Power, allowing Big Boys Toys to truly become a parts specialist once again, focusing their expertise entirely on the growing watercooled VW market.

    What makes us different?
    We believe we are much more than a company that simply stocks Golf parts we truly are Golf specialists,
    looking to provide the same choice, quality & service as owners have come to expect from the VW Heritage group.

    As well as a vast range of specialist brands, such as KW, Eibach, Jetex & K&N, we also offer a wide range of stock parts both O.E. & quality repro. So whether youre building a future show winner, restoring back to showroom condition, or just trying to keep your faithful Golf in good working order, we have the parts you need. Not to mention the wealth of VW know-how that we have within the company. With our offices filled with knowledgeable owners (plus mechanics & engineers) when you call Big Boys Toys youll always be talking to a VW enthusiast, not a salesman.

    Why only Mk1 & Mk2 Golfs, Jettas & Sciroccos?
    Picking up where the Beetle left off, the Golf became an instant classic when it was launched in the mid seventies, so it is no surprise that the majority of watercooled enthusiasts opt for this timeless model. Accordingly we chose to offer the widest possible range of parts for this one model, rather than offering a thinner selection of parts for a more sprawling range of cars.

    As Golf specialists, we appreciate that it is increasingly hard to find quality original parts for Mk1 & Mk2 nowadays. Thankfully our numerous connections within the VW world mean that we are able to source an unrivalled selection of parts for these early models. Broadly speaking, Mk3 & Mk4 Golfs are still catered for by VAG dealers, so at present we focus only on the earlier marks.

    Do we sell genuine parts?
    Wherever possible we sell genuine VAG parts. Of course, as the models become older it is increasingly hard to find original spares, but our experienced purchasing team know exactly where to look to find original VAG parts, or the closest alternative.

    What is the quality like on the pattern parts?
    We try our very best to ensure the parts we sell are equal to or better than the original item, with a lot of our parts coming direct from OE suppliers. However, it is not always possible to match original quality - in these instances we will search for the best quality that is available, & fully disclose any differences or disparities.

    Do we hold everything in stock?
    We hold as many of the popular items in stock as we can, some items though have to be specially ordered. We will make you aware of this at the time, & in most cases the order will be delivered within 3 working days.

    Can I come & collect in person?
    Of course. All we ask is that you give us a call beforehand to check the item you want is in stock. During busy times its worth calling in advance to place an order for collection, this will save you time at the counter.

    Can I order online?
    Yes - just log onto WWW.VWH2O.COM If your order is over 25 then youll get free delivery as well!

    So, if you are after any specific parts, or have any questions, drop us a line on here, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

    Cheers,
