Thought on the GTI

[Booth11]

I'm not sure about the red trim. I think all black or grey with the GTI logo in very small red letters is the way forward for me.
Suits my personality better I believe

I think that could be too subtle.  On my Mk6 GTI I had the optional VW GTI logo' deluxe mats which just had grey piping but red stitching and small GTI logo in red, and as they wore over time, the stitching became invisible and the logo all but disappeared.  And even though they cost more than the carmats2u ones, the quality was far inferior. 

I'd echo what Watts says - great family business, great service, excellent top quality product, customisable to your exact requirements, good price - whatever design you choose, it's a no-brainier.

That combo would look very nice in a GTD.

They should come with better mats as standard, but don't.    Still the standard mats come in handy as a set of winter mats.  Better than rubber ones IMO as mud sticks better to the carpet fabric and saves it rolling around the footwell as it does with rubber ones.   Good mats come out spring time and get tucked away just before winter.

That's the plan with mine too. I almost went and got a set of front rubber mats for the winter but talked myself out of it. Glad I did now.

I went and looked at your flikr Rebecca to see what your mats are like and have a couple of questions re logos - is it stitched or printed somehow... was the logo you provided in the exact colour that it is on your mats. Basically am wondering the best way to provide them with the logo and what sort - e.g. photo/outline. Bit cheeky, but if you get chance could you post a pic of the R logo on your mats? Thanks.

Bec has a thread with her mods on it.
Here is a picture of her R logo from this thread. There are more close up pictures of the logo and stitching

I bought a similar set of mats for my A3, with s line embroidered on them
They also had the reinforced heel section and I got the heels of my shoes stuck on them all the time.
Anyone had the same issue as this with these mats?

I knew as I typed the word 'heels' I was in for some stick but didn't know what else to type

Hi Dave, sorry missed this earlier.  Yes the R logo is printed on rather than embroidered.  I just sent them 3 different pics of the R logo off the internet, none of which were coloured.  I chose the colour from the choices on their website - I went for the logo in Electric Blue, which is THE perfect match with the blue needles on the dash dials. 

All you need to do is email them a pic of my logo below.  Loads have people have used that pic now.     What I did was place the order online, then when I got the confirmation email I replied to it attaching a pic of the logo.  Also the pic below is a much better rendition of the true colour of the logo compared to some of the pics in my 'thoughts on the R' thread, which are a bit washed out looking, like the one above.

Here is a run down of what I selected for my exact mats:

On the order form drop down menus I selected as follows:

Carpet, rubber type - Premier Super Luxe

Colour - Black

Edge Colour - Twin Two Tone Edge Black/Blue

Edging Type - I have ordered Twin colour edge

Right Hand drive

Automatic

Add info. Logo etc here - Please include the new Golf R logo on the front mats - photo of logo to follow by email.  Logo to be in Electric Blue colour.

Add a logo - Yes please, both front mats

Choose fixings - Push Fit Fixing - round



This pic is probably the most accurate representation of the true colours of the edging and logo.  I love my mats.



Hope this helps.

No, never had problems with shoe heels sticking - maybe you should stick to ballet flats from now on.
