I was going to post about this too. My carpet mats are worn out and I always like to treat my new cars to new mats as it refreshes the interior. The rubber oem ones I really don’t like they just look like something you’d see in a land rover not a semi luxurious hot hatch. Don’t VW do proper carpet ones with a nicely embroidered GTI logo that’s what I had in my head when considering replacements. My current versions are just plain black. Thanks.

They do have genuine mats that have red trim round the edge and a small GTI logo-not embroidered tho,it’s like a small label.
Think the were 1st available for the clubsport.
Managed to pick a set up from Ebay for £70,which was a good price at the time.

LOK,useless with links.
The part number is:-
5G2 863 011 BOQV
The price was £130,but that was in 2017.
They look excellent,but they are expensive for what they are.

IMO the genuine VW carpet mats aren’t the best quality and it’s not unknown for the the drivers mat to wear through in a relatively short space of time. 

It might be worth considering some of the non-VW mats, like those at Carmats4u;

https://www.carmats4u.com/shopbymodel.html/?find=volkswagen-golf-mk7-2012---2020-302366

I’ve not bought these so can’t vouch for the quality. However, Carmats4u do use the VW fastenings, and they have a range of mats with prices varying depending on the weight / quality of carpet you choose. You can also customise the mats to your requirements (carpet colour, edging colour, stitching colour) and add a logo if that’s your thing.

2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

I agree genuine VAG mats fit well but the quality is not great.

I’d looked at Cars Mats 2U and Car Mats 4U but I think the logos aren’t embroidered on, which is what I’d like. Going to try Autostyle next.

Past: Mk5 gti blue graphite, mk6 gti carbon grey, mk6 gti edition 35 candy white, Mk7 pp gti tornado red, 2016 Audi S3 sportback, 2019 7.5 Golf R.

How about these;

https://simplycarmats.co.uk/volkswagen-golf-car-mats-12266.htm

They also offer different grades of carpet, with the option to customise (carpet colour, edging and stitching colour). The ‘deluxe’ or higher versions come with VW fastenings to hold them in place.  Additionally, a heel pad on the driver’s mat comes as standard (you can delete it if you don’t want one, or change the heel pad to rubber for an additional cost). They also offer an (extra cost) option to add text which is embroidered into the mat.
