Any chance of a photo of the leather seats? They look much better than the older type leather.

I’ll take a couple tomorrow for you 👍

Cheers.

Car looks fantastic, really love the colour. It's quite unusual to see one, especially about Northern Ireland. The footrest looks great as well. I've had my eye on one for a while. How long did it take to arrive roughly?

Around 3 weeks sounds about right 👍

The perforated sections really don’t look as red to the naked eye as they do on the photos  :huh:

They look much better than the usual VW leather in a GTI :smiley: Do they have the drawer under the front seats? Looks like it's missing, not that you can get much in there anyway other than a small slice of Battenberg....

No, the Battenburg holders have gone  :grin:

Shocking :shocked: Seriously though, is there just a gap or a panel instead of the drawer? Bl@@dy bean counters :rolleyes:

Off topic, but bean counter / cost cutting related, I’ve read on one of the other Golf forums with predominantly USA members, that the glove box is no longer lined with the black felt type material on USA Golfs. Also, the new Polo no longer gets the grab handles mounted above the doors in the headlining, and like the T-roc, it has hard plastic door cards, although unlike the T-roc, it does get soft touch plastics on the dashboard.

All these cost cutting measures don’t bode well for next generation models.......... :shocked:

They look bloody fantastic. Thanks for the photos mate.

They make the difference between art velours and leather easier to take.
