I'm beginning to think my views don't get quite the respect they deserve :laugh:

There could be a market here for odd car mats.
Obviously drivers mats wear badly so single driver's mats would be handy to be able to purchase separately.
But how about the other mats? Well, if your kids step in a dog turd (and it's not just kids eh Ms B?!!) and if you live somewhere it's not practical to scrub the thing outside and hang it out to dry and de-stink then just binning the fecker and buying a new passenger or rear mat as a single could be a handy thing.
I feel a potential eBay business appearing here...  :laugh:

You remember turdgate then.  :whistle: :grin:

I hang onto your every word madamoiselle B!

What was it you were saying again.... :grin:

Course we respect you and forum would be a duller place without you, even in your Saturday morning gassy state.  :wink::smiley:

Well as the majority of my words are put in the D section there's not a lot to hang onto Mr Ex.  :laugh:

Hi Dave, sorry missed this earlier.  Yes the R logo is printed on rather than embroidered.  I just sent them 3 different pics of the R logo off the internet, none of which were coloured.  I chose the colour from the choices on their website - I went for the logo in Electric Blue, which is THE perfect match with the blue needles on the dash dials. 

All you need to do is email them a pic of my logo below.  Loads have people have used that pic now.  :laugh:   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.

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


Hope this helps.  :smiley:

Thanks Bec for your extremely detailed (as always :smiley:) response. Exactly what I was looking for!

Sorry should have looked at the mods thread, I forgot about that one.

Not going to comment on anybody's choice of footwear here, but I did have mats without heel reinforcement in the fiesta and started to wear a hole in them after a year or so. :laugh:
