GTI Seat Inserts
« on: 01 April 2010, 15:49 »
I do not know under what name Volkbits on e-bay posts in this forum but I want to give him a compliment.

When ordering 2 sets of GTI seat-inserts Paypal gave me a lot of trouble with old accounts and e-mail adresses I ended up ordering a few hundred or so and paying none ....

It was the helpdesk of paypal but most of all the patience and good contact with Volksbit that solved the matter...tomorrow I can pick it up at the postoffice... :cool:

I will mount them with grey tape...the red is a bit too red for me... :grin:

Its Gulfstream11 that makes the aluminium seat inserts / footrests.
I got a footrest for my R, and one for my mates R32 - the quality is excellent.
Going to fit my mates one on Saturday... then mine one day *sigh*

^^^^ Yep! He is.
One of the cheapest and best mods you can do, the amount of people that comment about them when seeing them is unreal.
Takes their eyes away from the fact that VW are too tight to fit sill cover trims (and the ones that they fitted to mk5s suffered from white worm anyway).

I'm sure it's me who's too stupid to find these on fleabay but I wanted to buy some of these. Could somebody kindly post up a link (there was one on here a couple of weeks ago) that I could follow. Feel the urge to spend some money on the beast!!!
