My new GTI

[stevengeelan]

Hello to all,

Just bought a Mk5 Golf GTI at the weekend (trading up from a 1.2 polo!!) Its a black, 06 plate with 23000miles.

Really happy with the GTI and loving having some power now, only issues I have are minor ones. The car came with rear mats but no front ones, was thinking about getting some rubber mats for front and rear (had the VW mats in the Polo), are GTI rubber mats available and where from and how much? Could only see normal Golf ones on the VW accessories page.

Also, my new car has a few stone chips on the bonnet, which is to be expected with a black car. But I was wondering if anyone has tried the VW paint stick and if there any good?

Congrats mate. We need pics! 

Mats - buy them from the dealers. Don't think rubber mats are available.

I've bought the paintstick, was only a few quid ~£8 i think. Comes with the paint stick and the clearcoat stick. Will be trying to tackle my paintwork this easter, weather permitting of course!

A fine choice of mota
mine is an 06 plate black one as well, rubber mats are avaialble for da car, but get the posh carpet ones for summer and rubbers for winter.
cheers

I have a Steel Grey - wouldnt mind a paint stick for the odd stone chip. Where can I get one from??

i got my oem gti mats off ebay for £70. were even more expensive from stealers.

Just ordered a set of GTI carpet mats from my local dealership, £69 which I didnt think was too bad, considering a set of normal golf mats were £59.

You can get paint sticks from your VW dealership too, I dunno how much they are or how good they are, I imagine there pretty good though, a salesman at the dealership said he had an R32 out for a run,  got a stonechip and used the paint stick to cover it when he got back.

Gonna give the car a good wash this weekend, so I'll put some pics up soon.

Painsticks are around £5-£8 from the dealer as I remember. Comes in a small pack-paint&lacquer.
