Fitted a mk7 gti gearknob and gti mats to help freshen the inside up.
From reading the guide you have to chop the shaft down a few cm for the new gearknob to go on to keep it at the same height but i never did that and prefer it a bit higher.Have a short shifter on there already and im happy with it.

Hi mate, have you any more pics of the mats? I'm looking for a set myself and I like the GTI logo on those.

Took delivery of & installed and RCD330. Ordered on the 27th, arrived today from China! Overall really happy with it and looking forward to making the most of CarPlay.

Took the opportunity to create a custom Boot Logo too...

Replaced my worn gear stick and gaiter with a 4motion one that I got cheap. GTI oem ones were 350euro so went the cheapo route and got a new 4motion one for 70euro

Just fitted new camshaft position sensor in an attempt to rid myself of an intermittent oil warning, car a new oil pressure sensor on Friday and that didn't solve the issue.

Interested to see the outcome. Mine has done this once and no issue was found with the oil or pressure etc so no idea what caused it.
