GTI Seat raiser inserts - my take (a few pics)
« on: 28 March 2010, 11:36 »
Well, I found a set of nice "GTI" inserts on here - thanks to Makaveli  :smiley:

As soon as they arrived, I set to installing them - went a bit nerdy on them tbh, but I pretty happy with the results.

Cleaned up the housing first - despite my keeping the car UBER clean, it's amazing how bad this gets.....



  :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

I'd already cleaned up the metal inserts.

I didn't want to go with the red duct tape or resin option..... so I did this instead....






Yes, I know the car seats need a vacuum  :tongue:

But I'm quite happy with the results - pretty subtle I think  :smiley:

Any comments?

Dan :smiley:

Nice, but I still think the red tape looks better

My fear with the red tape is that over time, it does fade.

But ETTO :smiley:

I used red card covered in clear tape - that way its pretty waterproof as well just in case any rain gets in it, and the red looks shiny.....

In all fairness, I looked at the red tape, and thought that that was what everybody else was doing   :tongue: so went for summit different.

All it is is some carbon fiber sheet put underneath the insert.

Like I said, subtle  :wink:

Not everybody's going to like it (which is good) - they certainly don't "get it"  or like it on mk5golfgti.com  :grin:

Result.
