Put the standard Pretorias on with the Bridgestones for a couple of months, had to fit the 7mm shims for the VWR kit and put some 8mm hub centric H&Rs on the rear to even it out

Cheers Chris! Got the premier grade mats here: http://www.carmats2u.co.uk/vw-golf-car-mats-mk7-2013-onwards-2486-p.asp

Thanks to Booth11 on here who originally recommended them. Very impressed so far, better than the standard ones in quality plus the two tone edging looks really smart. All in with delivery about £55 so I think that's decent value.

Fitted a set of new Bosch aerotwin wiper blades, I noticed a definite improvement over the old ones straight away, which is good considering the cost!

They look fantastic Watts.  :cool:  Really go well with the seats.  Perfect match.  Yeah the quality is superb, makes the oem standard ones seem pathetic by comparison.

Now you just need a footrest plate to finish off the footwell  :wink:

Yes, it fits both manual and DSG.  Here it on my DSG,to show how it looks in situ.

Cheers, these few little mods have made a real difference and make the car mine now. Only thing is, I don't want to drive it now in case the mats get dirty :rolleyes: Definitely need the paint looking at though, I keep finding issues here and there, nothing drastic and it does clean up well but they keep niggling me... Next jobette will be re-fitting the rear numberplate. I think the dealer must have Ray Charles on the team as the numberplate is badly wonky, the bumper protector that was on at the rear was fitted totally wrong so it has left a long line in the paint and the rear mats were in the wrong footwells!

Does this fit a manual car or is it specific to the DSG?

It's actually closer in shape to the manual plastic footrest than the DSG one. The factory fitted footrest in DSG cars is a little bigger / wider than that in the manual.
