Back to the original question "Are these genuine?" They may well be original VW parts, but I'm pretty sure that carpet mats weren't available back when the cars were new. So if you are keeping with an authentic, original theme, then I would say no.

I'll have a set of original rubber mats if anyone has a set to sell tho' please.

I saw a "new set" on ebay sell for £158.00 in auction.... Mental... I'll stick to the plush carpet ones at that rate...

I had a set and didn't like them - my son has them now!!

Keep a couple of sets and sell the others....

For moment there I thought you keeping them all for yourself.. Lifetime supply.  :grin:

Well we do have 3 x MK2's in the family... so wouldn't last that long!!

That's only 3 sets each.. plus a spare.. should keep them all.  :grin:

Still got the original carpet mats that came with the car 23 years ago! Mind you, my car has lots of original bits you wouldn't expect to see...

Bought a set of these last year, they come with self tapping plastic screws which go through the holes & into the carpet... I like them, they're well made, much better than any aftermarket ones I've had.

My 10 sets have arrived at last - Best price I can offer is £25.00 which is about the same as the dealer RRP - That's collection only

Posted they would be £30.00.

TBH I'm making Feck all at these price's but I'm in a good mood!! They are costing me over £20.00 a set plus postage to me...

If anyone is interested drop me a PM.

So why did you bother buying so many up if you're not in it for profit, you've just made it harder for other people to go out and get them!

Made what harder - VW have over a 100 sets in stock according to Mr Blue....

Ever heard of offering a service?? you can buy from me and save yourself the hassle of having to go to the dealers and ordering them and then going back to pick 'em up.... @ over £6.00 a gallon... Do the maths!!
