Sunset Red 1.4 TSI(TFSI) GT Sport - daily drive & track car
rex:
The cloth was very wrinkled on the door cars so I decided to change them completely:
I chose leather door cards because they seem to hold on better over time.
The trim was that of the GTSport - not sure if it was changed or not...
The door cards came of a '07 Golf. My Golf is '07 but MY 2008. But apparently a few things changed in that model year. Here are my findings (for those interested):
1. The wiring loom changed completely. If you use the incorrect version almost nothing will work.
2. There is one extra clip in the MY 07 vs MY 08
3. The trim is better insulated (I think for rattles) in the MY 08.
4. There is a plastic tray in the door tray in the MY 07 one and there is only some soundproofing in the MY 08 one.
The door cards and the armrest were in dire need of a proper clean and, after that, I installed them.

All in all, the new door cards are not perfect but they are 9/10 - which is good enough right now :).
Really happy that I managed to do this.

Looking good👍🏻

A few years back, I bought this:
which turned out to be very low quality and the jack port itself was very flimsy.
So, as I was shopping the OEM shops for some parts for my other VAG cars, I found this (OEM AUX input):
I took the whole dash apart to see if I can find some alternative locations for mounting and, in the end, I settled for mounting it in the centre storage (ex ash tray) compartment.
I also added a spring loaded 12v cover as it was nicer than the cigarette plug...
Now I can comfortably stream music from my mobile phone :drinking:
