Title: MK6 5dr Glossy B Pillar Trims
Post by: rachel on May 12, 2011, 07:22:47 pm: Hey Folks...

On my walk into work this morning i noticed a mk6 golf, with glossy B pillar trims (like i've highlighted in the pic!)

Knowing that my mk5 has a kind of satin black trim, i'd kinda be interested in upgrading to the glossy ones, cause i think they look better, and blend more into the surrounding glass...

Could anyone help me with a part number? or indeed, how easy they would be to fit?

heres the pic:
