Just ordered a set. Will let you know what quality is like etc when they arrive.

From the ones I have seen so far, judging from the pictures, these appear to be the best fit, i.e. no gaps.

Make sure you post pics of them when you get them.
Current car: Manual MK8 GTI 245, Deep black pearl.
Ordered: DSG MK8 Clubsport, DCC, Pure white.

I like them, I think they look good I would have ordered if I hadn't fitted these. I've been contemplating the lockwood ones too but I think it looks too busy with both sets.

Yeah, to be honest, if I had gotten these first I wouldn’t have bothered with the Lockwoods.

They look so good. I was concerned when I posted the link they might be not as they seem when someone ordered them, but they look quality. You must be really happy with them.

Absolutely. Quality seems good and fit is pretty much spot on.

I've got a Clubsport but I'd buy the Clubsport 45 protectors as I think the red '45' makes it.  :tongue:

The Clubsport sill protectors are nice but IMHO two sets of sill protectors is a bit of sill protector overload :smiley:. That’s just my opinion though and it’s good we don’t all like the same things, otherwise life would get boring.

I’ve never been keen on the Lockwood polished stainless steel sill protectors. I'd envisage that highly polished finish could get scuffed and scratched quite easily by anyone who inadvertently catches one with their footwear getting in and out of the car, and heavily scuffed / scratched sill protectors wouldn’t be good for my car OCD (can you get protectors for the sill protectors? :grin:)

If I were to get a set of sill protectors, my preference would be the black vinyl stick on sill protectors. Two of my VW’s came with these fitted from the factory and they either didn’t mark or if they did, a quick wipe over or applying some vinyl / rubber trim dressing and they looked like new again.

I’ve ordered those Clubsport 45 ones from Ebay and also but have a set of plain black vinyl type ordered from EZ Mods to was going to order their Clubsport 45 ones but thought it would be overkill.
