Gotta love a bit of terminology misinterpretation :grin:
Grab handles as in grab handles, not door pulls........  :tongue:

Bought them anyways. 

I'm 99.9% sure the grab handles fit fine.  The sunvisors may not be switched illuminated type and I've got it in mind they aint quite the right shape, so they'll get sold on with the centre visor that's also been thrown in.  I got a bargain on it all so will not lose out either way.

That's the problem dude.  Anni new from VW is a last resort, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some popping up for sale.

I'll see how far off the S3 ones are.  I got it in mind they don't illuminate and they don't close fully, like the wrong shape for the gaps in the headlining.

Looking at paints and dye products to perhaps colour up my current beige ones.  What's the worst that can happen?  I balls them up and have to leave the S3 ones in and open permanently.

Other ones to look for are Skoda Octavia vRS sunvisors. No vanity light but fit perfectly

I sprayed my headlining black and sprayed all the interior parts black, apart from the grab handles and sun visor clips! The end result wasn't that bad either, better than I expected! The sun visors came up good aswel Well worth a go at spraying them yourself before going to vw

Re: Audi S3 grab handles DO NOT FIT mk4 Golf

0.1% uncertainty = FAIL  :cry:  :rolleyes:  :grin:

The grab handles from an 8L S3 do not fit the mk4 golf as they are about 1/2 again too long.
Part Nos for reference:
8D0 857 607F & 8D0 857 607G

The visors would fit at a push but would look kinda pants TBH.  They're out of line to the hook in the roof and they don't close properly.  Elec connection is also different.
Part Nos for ref:
8D0 857 551 & 8D0 857 551

C0ck.
