Take a look in here (scroll down). http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=275792.msg2529341;topicseen#msg2529341

 I'll post up the exact order in a minute and a pic of the logo you can send them.

Here is a run down of what I selected for my exact mats:

On the order form drop down menus I selected as follows:

Carpet, rubber type - Premier Super Luxe

Colour - Black

Edge Colour - Twin Two Tone Edge Black/Blue

Edging Type - I have ordered Twin colour edge

Right Hand drive

Automatic

Add info. Logo etc here - Please include the new Golf R logo on the front mats - photo of logo to follow by email.  Logo to be in Electric Blue colour.

Add a logo - Yes please, both front mats

Choose fixings - Push Fit Fixing - round

All you need to do is email them a pic of my logo below.  What I did was place the order online, then when I got the confirmation email I replied to it attaching a pic of the logo.  Also the pic below is a much better rendition of the true colour of the logo compared to some of the pics in my 'thoughts on the R' thread, which are a bit washed out looking, like the one above.

This pic is probably the most accurate representation of the true colours of the edging and logo.  I love my mats.

Slightly off topic, Im sure I have seen some very nice Red GTI mats but can not seem to find them, any help locating these would be great.

Scotte, you can order red edged mats from the same company as above and request a GTI logo in the way Booth said for her R. I have the mats in my GTI, just didn't have the logo added.

Quality is excellent and they are very good value for money. You may also wish to consider the foot rest:

which smartens up the interior for about £30 and a small and cheap little addition (about a fiver) in the Audi replacement 12v socket cover:

Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but I really like the upgrade to red led footwell lights to replace the standard white ones, gives a nice warm glow for under £20 and 10 minutes effort:

Look great Watts.  :cool:  I had red LEDs in my mk6 and loved them, look even better in mk7 with the cloth seats.

......And for R owners - nice blue LED footwells.  Look great with the blue door strips, especially at night and show of the blue piping and R logo of the mats nicely!

One thing to note with the mats is they seem to have changed the shape of the heel pad to an oval shape.  Someone posted pics in here a while back of it.  So it's no longer square as in the photos above.

See top pic in this post

Either way, they look great.

Trying to decide if I should get a logo on them for the GTD. Think I would go for just the standard black edging to keep it understated, but with grey stitching just to lift it a bit. The upgrade is mainly for the carpet quality, and also the extra heel bit, as I can see my standard mats are already starting to wear a bit where my heels are resting.

Not convinced the GTD logo would look that great though. Don't get me wrong, I like the R logo on Rebecca's ones (if only I could afford an R :laugh:), but not convinced the GTD logo would look as good.

I didn't go for a GTI logo as I thought it would look a bit much, the two tone edges look excellent and I'm very happy with them.
