You may be best trying eBay for the mats or the stealers.

Not too sure if Awesome (http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/") have anything to suit.


These guys look very professional and know what they are doing The Wheel Specialist (http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/?adw&gclid=CMH_loCO75wCFV8B4wodqEHikA"), a little more expensive but you pay for what you get.


Not sure about any recommendations on the Vinyl.

Been to Awesome and they have a really good set up there, they can also look after your car from what I understand. Bit of travelling though over Manchester way.

If yournot bothered about a full VWservice history, I would look up the local VAG specialists.

They are a performance tuning type of company and as far as im aware they do service cars aswel. These are VAG specialists (not officially a part of VW).

Never heard of that intake. Carbonio is a popular choice but the better intakes are made by DBILAS, ITG and Forge...the twintakes are a tasty piece of kit...I understand they creat alot of Turbo chatter and sounds awesome.

Few threads about the intakes...

That CAI is not suitable for the 2.0TFSI engine your GTI has. That's for the older 1.8T block.
