Why not OEM? often available on eBay at a reasonable price and you know they will fit.

I have a set from these people - https://www.carmats2u.co.uk/vw-golf-car-mats-mk7-2013-onwards-2486-p.asp

Good quality and you can personalise them. The twin red/black edging is very smart.

I read over on VWROC.com that carmats2u.co.uk actually don’t make their mats, but get them from carmats4u.com, who have a more extensive range and are cheaper than the equivalent mats from carmats2u.co.uk

For most of the mat types, you can customise them to your requirements - carpet colour, edging colour, stitching colour, and you can add a logo of your choice if you want to.

thanks i shall look at the links.  OEM rubber mats look nice but £100...they have the gti logo on.  not sure to go with rubber mats and swallow the cost or aftermarket carpet ones.

***went for the rubber OEM GTi mats...£20 cheaper in Germany  :smiley:

I've had the bog standard VW rubber mats in my GTi for three years and they are perfectly fine. Can't really see the point in spending loads of money on mats. eBay was the cheapest place when I bought mine.

I agree with the rubber mat theory...carpet mats will end up with flattened spots where feet have squashed them over time and discoloured...rubber mats seem to be the best option.
