Thanks. I’ve just had a quick look but couldn’t find it. Good idea though. I’ll certainly keep my eyes out for one.

Just use boli_32 when searching on eBay. It brings them up and they have a few bits on but no space saver. Shame as I’m after one too.
Current car: Manual MK8 GTI 245, Deep black pearl.
Ordered: DSG MK8 Clubsport, DCC, Pure white.

That’s what I did. Meant that I couldn’t find it on his account. I’ll get the hang of writing coherent sentences one day.  :grin:

Good idea for the thread Michele :afro:
I’ve been exceptionally slack about even contemplating buying bits for the car (I’m a changed man!) and to be honest when I got mine there wasn’t a lot available for it.

How about some retailer links in the first post to some of the better suggestions from VWROC for those of us that don’t venture there (owing to being about as popular as a dog turd through a letterbox on that forum) as non R owners?

Some inspiration wouldn’t go amiss to us waverers  :smiley:

Oh, I like the Clubsport sill trims posted up btw  :cool:

Thanks Andy. I’ll have a look and pop some things in from the R forum. Glad you like the Clubsport sill trims.

Good work getting the links up so quickly :afro:
I quite like the black mirror caps.

I’m really keen on the sill trims, it’s be nice to have something that actually said ‘Clubsport’ on the car!
Like yourself I’d like some actual sill protectors too. No matter how careful I am I tend to get light marks on the sill when exiting in tight spaces.
VW dealers used to do a black foil kit for mk7’s that might go well with the Clubsport logo trims.

I try!

I’ve got my eyes on these:

YAVEIL Fit for Vw Golf 6 7 Mk6 Mk7 Gti 5door 2009-2018 Outside Stainless Car Steel Door Sill Kick Plate Guard Sills Protector Trim, 4 PCS. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08D64K9JG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_FQEDA4V2X70JQ19SFY2H

Currently have some vinyl ones on my R that have been brilliant. Don’t seem to make them anymore though!

I had similar sill protectors to those Amazon ones on my mk7 Clubsport, they were genuine VW ones though.
Hopefully as the world slowly returns to what it was and the mk8 hits more markets there will be more demand for aftermarket accessories and supply of tailor made parts will be better.
