I really like the design but it's a bit odd that the GTI logo on that drivers side mat is on the inside towards the centre console.

Am I looking at it all wrong or are these a bit ar$e about face? :confused:

As said, nowhere near as nice as the above set, but only 1/4 the price.

As others have said my OEM rubber mats have the triangle pattern and this is what they have underneath! Sure you've not had your floormats on upside down? :laugh:
