Title: Mk6 carbon mirror and steering wheel covers
Post by: Rocket on June 03, 2012, 09:57:27 pm
As per on the mk6 forum (not sure many use it) but:

I've had some carbon mirror covers and steering wheel covers made up in pre-preg 6k weave and wondered, would anyone be interested in these, and trying the first ones at cost price for a review?
Retail prices are £95 for mirror covers and £65 for steering wheel covers (plus postage)

Available here: VW Golf Mk6 Carbon Fibre Parts (http://"http://www.carbonfibreskins.com/carbon-fibre-parts/volkswagen")

Surely it should be at cost price so someone can do a review?

I've got some Mk5 stuff, not much at present, but once I get into one myself, more can come.

I've added photos to the first post now too

Cool, and genuine of course :) all thought I can do carbon vinyl wrapping too, or any other colour, including satin brushed aluminium black.

Out of curiosity do the steering wheel carbon fittings clip into place like the original inserts or are they stuck on?

It may be worth asking Red Robin if he is interested in doing a review as he is outstanding with his constructive and in depth write ups.

They stick on to the existing ones, and although these don't have steering wheel control cut outs as per the gti ones, if there's interest then I'll get some made up

Thanks, I'll see what Robin says
