The Velor looks unreal. Finally a good picture of the seats! So glad I ordered them now!

They are very nice. A perfect half way house between the tartan - that I don't like, and the leather - which I didn't want.

My problem with this seat trim is that it is at a price which should really get you full leather, hence I've stuck with the tartan.

VW leather has always been way too expensive (IMHO), it actually makes Audi seat trim options seem cheap!!

The door armrests look to be in leather with red stitching - is that standard with cloth (UK spec)?

I know the centre armrest in leather used to be standard in leather from a few years ago.

They do look very nice new my only concern would be wear.
Velour is hard wearing but your going to get patches on the bolsters and bobbles that you wouldn't get as much of on the flat Jaccara trim which I went for on my 2016 Gti as I'm not a lover of leather seats IMHO but as always each to their own  :whistle:

Do you know what, I had exactly the same thoughts when i saw the photo.

I still think its a pretty sorry state of affairs when you have to rely on this forum to be able to understand what exactly you are buying on a 30k car and some sucker has to pull the pin in order for that to happen :(

I like them, reminds me of my old Saab which was manufactured in the 80's too.

I went for the Vienna leather in my new R and not convinced about the quality of that either, which is a bit of a concern as I am £1750 poorer for making that decision.
