All depends what you want

If you want some style then the R ones have it, but they offer little in the way of paintwork protection
If you want protection on the cheap then Lockwood at under £30 a set are a bargain, and you have options for plain, single line or line with font.

With a 7year old and a dog clambering in i want some protection, maybe i'll just fit the lockwood rears and use paint protection film for the front sills ?

Ahh, didnt realise they will do them as a plain set. Think I will go for them.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but are these of any interest?

I think they are the mk5 GTI ones. I hope the mk6 GTI are different. I personally wouldnt want any of that boy racer style sh!t on my sills.

Hope that wasnt aimed at the mk5 boys,You might just upset a few peeps with that comment, and no those aernt mk5 ones either :lipsrsealed:

i'm sure i had these sills on my mk 5 - my memory is so bad lol - but they were all capitals (proper ones).  they probably fit a mk 5 but i wouldn't have them as its not in capitals.  only the best for our mk 6's!!

It may have been GTi on pugs but on the proper VW Golf GTI's the badge was always GTI
