Title: Interior mods ?
Post by: gobbleplease on January 13, 2010, 11:06:02 pm: Just wondering what can be done to jazz up the interior ?

Ive got a couple of bits of carbon fibre so far, GTI seat inserts and aluminium heater surrounds and mirror adjuster, apart from that i cant see much more parts that would look good.

Has anyone got any other bits and bobs that look good in the GTI ?

Saw them once on ebay and haven't seen them since........ :chicken:

PITA to fit but inexpensive from the dealers. I do believe Markymark purchased and fitted one fairly recently. :happy2:
