i tried using my now somewhat sentimental rubber mats that i bought from Halfords 10 years ago or something, and i find that on the drivers side because of the heel+toe style throttle stuck to the floor, the rubber mat won't fit (unless i cut a section out of the mat...  :embarassed: )
will those actually fit? it doesn't seem to have the cut-out section for where the throttle pedal will go

there is another old thread somewhere here, i guess i'll have to dig it out, you could get the custom made mats and have a little logo on them and comes with the heel thing and you can choose the colours along with the outside trim, i'm considering getting a set of those because the standard mat is already starting to get a bit grubby, i suppose i could just vacuum it but i'm lazy

I've been tempted by the custom mats - I really fancy the GTI logo but these mats are so cheap I couldn't resist.  :embarassed:

I cleaned my standard mats yesterday and find them of rather poor quality.... :sad:
Are the GTI mats with red stitching and red text on it a better quality....?

I thought it was just me that found the OEM mats and quality to be a bit less than inspiring.  :grin:

Ewwww, they would be ok for those mk 3 owners with no money, but for us mk 6'ers they are just plain wrong.
