Gti interior question?
« on: 07 October 2008, 17:12 »
Hi ive seen a few gti's that carry the theme from the red grille stripe inside the car.

ive seen it where it replaces the chrome trim on the dash and continuse around the piping on the door cards!

Is it a gti optional extra thing or something people have done as a mod?

i think it looks really smart. if its a factory thing i may be tempted to do it, as ive always found Vw's of all ages to be a bit coal bunkerish!

anyone got any pics of one?

people add it to their cars iirc. You can buy the tape from halfors for £7 i believe, and its easy to do. looks very good indeed.

As said id paint them, not tape.

Anyone else have any opinions?

I always thought this was an American GTI thing, but may be wrong. Anyway, i liked the look of it, and tried it with pinstripe (as kharekatoh) said. Here's a pic, i did have two, but one seems to have corrupted, if anyone knows why, let me know? Thanks.
