Can I ask where you got the isofix covers from please? Are they easy to install?

lol. They clip on. Approx 1 second per cover.

I'm so pleased I read this post before collecting my car.

My Seat trade in had isofix covers fitted, or should I say did as they are now in my new car. Thanks!

Did the MK7 have puddle lights fitted? My Mk7.5 3door doesn't?

Only under the door mirrors. The bottom of the door card has always just been a red reflector but some (including myself) have retrofitted proper puddle lights there. Like so:

Not sure if all mk7 models had them but the GTI did; not in the bottom of the doors, but in the underside of the door mirrors. All mk7.5 Golfs apart from the S and e-Golf should have them; they're part of the mirror pack which, according to the Golf pricelist brochure, is standard on all but the S and e-Golf - see under Comfort and Convenience on page 29 in the price list at the link below;

Thanks for the replies.

My GTI does look like it has the little lights under the wing mirrors - not that I can find a way to get them to work?

I don't think they'll illuminate in daylight; it needs to be dark.

I don't have them on my current car but did have them on my mk6 Golf and they'd light up when it was dark and under the following conditions;

- if in the car; when opening the door to get out of the car
- if outside the car; when unlocking the car via the remote (don't know what happens if you've got keyless).

Presumably there's a section in the manual outlining how and when they work on the mk7.5?

They should come on when you unlock the car and the mirrors finish unfolding. I think they also come on when you open the door. More obvious in the dark obviously  :grin:

I can confirm they work brilliantly, it just needs to be really dark outside.  :embarrassed:
