So another recommendation by King Monkey is the badgeskins key cover. Basically just a front and back adhesive skin that goes over to protect it. I like it but will let King Monkey come along and give his, valid I should add, thoughts on them.

Basically they protect the key really well but they set my ocd off a bit. Unfortunately, the skin doesn’t quite fit the fob exactly, meaning that a tiny edge of the fob is exposed all the way round and on both sides.

They’re here for quite a bit cheaper - https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/switches-buttons-trims/oem-5h0951527-5h0951528-sport-dsg-paddles/. That’s where I got mine. I have fitted them to my CS. I had a post on it in this thread few pages back.




Just bought these, hopefully they'll arrive before the car

Does anyone know the correct size of space saver wheel for a Mk 8 GTI? Can you recommend a supplier I know there are several and there’s always eBay.

Duh! I looked under the floor in my 7.5 and the answer was literally stating me in the face. Sometimes I think I am intelligent…🤦‍♂️

Glad you like them Carl. Hope all is well after last week!

As for the font, I braced myself and took the plunge for £4! 🤣

be careful of those things, a good few people had similar ones fitted to their MK7 R's and I saw a few reports of them scuffing the paint underneath over time, even causing surface rust.
