Thought on the GTI

[Booth11]

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

Thanks for pointing him in the right direction Stevie. 

How's Mrs P3 enjoying her new car?  Did you get the swirls sorted ok?

Suits my personality better I believe

You mean sterile and glassy.

I think I was sterile and gassy on saturday morning

Aren't all blokes like that on a Sat morning?

plus...Mon, Tues, Weds...... morning/afternoon/evening

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?

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

It must be my trick feet or the mats where sh!te.
I like the two tone edge on your mats Rebecca, very subtle but makes a difference.
The only thing that pisses me off with mats is that you only ever really need to change the drivers mat. The others just don't wear but who will sell you just one mat?

Nobody will sell you one mat and rightly so......don't be such a cheapskate kalimon, treat your self/car to a full set of matching mats otherwise it will look ridiculous, and I won't be able to sleep at night knowing there's a GTI out there with mismatched mats. 

The two-tone edge is great, it just breaks the edge up a bit and stops it being too much.  I think a solid piped edge could look a bit tacky plus they are fake leather whereas the two tone is fabric edging and classier IMO.

It's common knowledge that I'm 'careful' with my hard earned, that's the Scottish in me
Admit it, when your new drivers mat has a hole in it but the other 3 are perfect, it will mildly irritate you that you will have to throw 3 away good mats away and buy a full new set

Unlike you, I don't drive in stiletto heels, so there will never be a hole in my driver's mat, and your prediction will never be realised.  Get your wallet out you tight ***.

There could be a market here for odd car mats.
Obviously drivers mats wear badly so single driver's mats would be handy to be able to purchase separately.
But how about the other mats? Well, if your kids step in a dog turd (and it's not just kids eh Ms B?!!) and if you live somewhere it's not practical to scrub the thing outside and hang it out to dry and de-stink then just binning the fecker and buying a new passenger or rear mat as a single could be a handy thing.
I feel a potential eBay business appearing here...

It's never you.   

So, you and Mr Ex can set up the odd car mat eBay business.  Don't give up the day job.
