You paid what? :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

The ED30 floor mats are some of the thinnest, cheapest and trashiest I've ever seen, mine are nearly worn through to their backing near the throttle pedal and they're only 3 months old.

VW must be knocking these things together for 2 or 3 quid a pair.

Post by: illyun on 14 December 2007, 15:06: I know.. VW are a RIP-OFF. :angry: I paid Ã‚£140 or thereabouts for a boot load-liner - the rigid type. I was shocked at the quality - or lack of it when I got it. It made out of cheap plastic that you can find on packaging - must have cost VW Ã‚£2.00 to make it.
