That narrow curved panel between the end panel with the airbag switch and the rubber door seal is probably not fixed in properly, it has a fixing at the bottom that fits over and into the trim piece below it, I’d bet that bit is not inserted properly, and is therefor distorting the shape, with the dash end panel removed you can pull the narrow trim piece out, take a look and see if it can be realigned.

I've looked this morning, the panel isnt broken, but it seems so flimsy and is only clipped in at one end, the rest of the fitment seems to rely on it fitting in behind the door seal and 'just fitting' into the plastic above, nothing connects it to the air bag panel to keep those together and looking good. I've improved the look but will probably resort to some duck tape to try and improve it further.
Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks for that

Thank you, I’ll take a look at that 

Hi gents

Looking for a MK7 Clubsport (manual) 5 door. I know i'm asking a lot! If anyone has an itch for anything else would love to purchase one hassle free.

Based in bedfordshire/hertfordshire & willing to travel.

Thanks Matt

You don't need to use credits to disable it. Just navigate to Structure Borne Sound, select Adaptation, find "Volume of structure-borne noise actuator," and change the value to 0

Ah ok. Thanks for telling me the procedure but a bit late too lol.

Having driven it now without the fakeness, i'm very pleased with the noise.....or lack of.
