Cigarette/Cubby... Brushed Alloy Lid?

[hotrod]

Longshot really guys,

As you may know early GTI’s had a matching alloy cigarette/cubby lid. On the later cars they are plain black plastic. Does anyone know where the lids can be purchased... dealer, eBay? Do you know the model number and does it snap into position.

Any info gratefuuly received... Hotrod

Not sure mate, r32 ones are silver?

I'm pretty sure that TM Tuning and oempl.us carry them. I have a sticker on mine that was a few € on ebay, looks the biz:

cheers Jimp,

How does it compare to the aluminium trim... good match? Easy to apply, good quality?  cheers mate

I bought one for my ED30 off ebay but never got round to fitting it, make me a reasonable bid and I will sell it  (I can send you pics if you want)

Official parts from VW stealer or TPS:

1K0 857 351 F 75T - trim cover, ashtray lid, lacqured bright grey metal
1K0 863 487 F 75T - trim surround, ashtray, lacqured bright grey metal

Those are not absolutely identical to the brushed aluminium trim strips of the GTI, but they are fairly close, and unless you were really looking for any differences, you probably wouldn't notice.

A Torx Tx20 driver is needed, and they are a bit fiddly to fit - so if, say, you can remove a door card without braking anything, you should be able to master these too.

Mine matches it really well. Installing was easy, just put on the sticker. It's easier if you take out the cubby, but I didn't remove it and got on fine. Looks good, nice reflection and brushed look effect. I'm very happy with it.

Cheers Hatrick, I’ll bear it in mind... Cheers

I got one from the dealer. The grey is closer to the DSG surround than the dash trim. Pic of mine below:-



It wasn't too bad to fit, the worst bit was getting the old cover to unclip. The oeml.us guide was very handy.
