Looks really nice GaryM, very smart indeed.

I'm going to admit, I'm more than just a little bit jealous  :)

Yeah i like them, i like them alot!!!!

My mate has got that interior in his 1.8T, but his is the cream version but it is a nicefinish.

Have you found that because they are quite chunky seats that you have lost a bit of rear legroom compared to standard.

Also were the heated seats hard to wire in or did you already have them?

PS can't see if you've got one or not, but you just need the W8 interior light to finish off the interior, then you'll be able to see your swanky new interior at night.

Looks nice though

I'm pretty sure he does have the W8 light. I stand guilty as charged of browsing the uk-mkivs.net forum  :P

If anyones interested there is a handy fitting guide in March's edition of Volkswagen Driver which shows you how to fit and wire the W8 light, and part numbers and costs,

I bet most dealers will be sold out of them now, reminds me of when the ford puma came out and all the fiesta boys bought up the solid aluminium puma Gear knobs, are the good old days.

LOL, yes I do have the W8 light!
I would love an R32 steering wheel and Bora vents though funds are disappearing very fast!
I not sure on the leg room Ant, though thinking about it the seats must take a little more room as they are pretty chunky. Heated switches were already in place, I changed from the VW sports leather.
