These might be of interest to someone. Mk7.5 but I’ll bet they fit. EZMods.

I must admit I do prefer those vinyl sill protectors to aluminium scuff plates.

Yeah so do I tbh. I was a bit gutted when I saw them as I’d just bought the Lockwood ones myself but these are £45 which I think is pretty poor value. The vinyl ones I have on my R, which are identical to the EZMods ones, where £12 from eBay.

Mats have arrived already. Look very good quality.

Hang on. Scrub that. Back mats are excellent but the front logos are a bit ropey.

Here’s the difference in quality with the front and back. Sent them back for another set.

Agree, that doesn’t look great. I see the manufacturer of the mats has stuck with the old style ‘GTI’ font that VW used for the badges on the mk7 / mk7.5 GTI and previous generations of GTI. As the logo looks as if it’s a separate item that’s stuck in place, it would have been good if they’d used a separate logo insert in the correct font for mk8 mats so they matched the car’s badging. 

Old style font - mk7.5 and earlier;


New style font - mk8;

The front one is an insert but the back isn’t. Odd.
