Do like the new leather with the red accents in the squab -not sure I could stump up £1.7k for it though (does look fab though).

Also, how did you get all the bits fitted if it’s still at the dealers ?

See you’ve already got your Lockwood sill protectors on.  :laugh:

And the footwell lights, front engine cover, footrest, Bling 12v cover, Boot led and VW dustcaps  :whistle:
Also retro fitted the door mirror bolt covers that have stopped being fitted for quite a while now. Very simple fix as there are two locating pins on the cover, the larger one just slides out and the smaller one can be pulled off easily as it has a weakened break point on it. Apply a small amount of strong double sided and ✅
Was going do the same with the isofix covers but my new One has them already fitted 👍

Flying start.  Have you detailed it yet?

I thought it was art velours, the seat looks base looks like cloth in the photo.

I thought it was art velours, the seat looks base looks lime cloth in the photo.

The seat faces in Vienna Leather option in the mk7.5 Golf GTI is now perforated leather. In the GTI, the little perforations are red. The seat bolsters are still non-perforated - page 55 in the Golf brochure at the link below;
