Has anyone got a recommendation for pair of extensions that have the solid look rather than the gaps in the metal? Don't want to be paying £200 for a set either  :laugh:

I’ve got a set of solid S2T B2’s in GTI steering wheel matching silver that I’d sell for less than half the price they are new...


(Can’t see me ever getting round to fitting them)

Have you got any photos of them and how much are you looking for?

VW has finally fitted proper sized shifters to a DSG - and chosen an SUV to do it  :rolleyes:

That's a good point. They look fantastic but noticed they aren't on the GTI so might be kept for the R models only as they are on the new Arteon R as well.

Yeah, it's certainly not a brand new model. The old headlight switches look a bit dated now they have gone to buttons for the lights although personally, the rotary switch has always seemed to do a great job. My 3 Series has the new buttons and it's actually quite hard to see if you need the fog lights or to manually put the headlights on.

It is! :grin:. I’ve just looked at the one in the mk8 GTI and it’s the same - maybe even more so, as the clown’s ‘lower lip’ in the GTI has red ‘lipstick’ rather than blue in the pictures above.

That steering wheel looks sh!te. It doesn't look in the least bit befitting a sporty hot hatch, far too dainty looking.

Looks like the wheel currently fitted to the non-performance Golf (7.5) and Polo, with a bit of chrome added for the clown's mouth.

Really not seeing any compelling reason why run out MK7.5 owners will be wishing they waited. This is MK3 and MK6 all over again.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

It's not in a hot hatch, it's in a Tiguan.
