Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

So the other night i found these, which look a lot better. I have ordered a set for our GTI so i will report back on quality/fitment etc.

    They look the biz; I'm trying to decide if they're a match for the door sills I bought a while back:



    I reckon they're close enough, and cheap enough, that I might go a set too.

    Edit: Done.

    • Wait, when did Lucas get a GTI?
      Some say he was the Stig... all we know is that he drives a VW Transporter.

          Ive got the same sills as you. The seat inserts look to be the same style as the sills.

            • I wouldn't mind a set of those little inserts and the sill protectors... I haven't looked in a a little while but last time around it was impossible to find anything not marked up GTI or R in three door spec... and I just can't bring myself to put GTI/R stuff onto the Cabriolet...

              If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                Very nice - they look like a good fit (unlike some eBay-sourced inserts I've seen). Hopefully mine are just round the corner!

                  You can get some door sills and seat handle inserts that say "TSI" or "Golf" on them - but i haven't seen any with "Cabriolet" on them unfortunately. See here for some examples: Bold-Sport.com :: Interior

                  Yes they fit well Adam.

                    Brilliant! It's been a little while but as I said, 2 door variants just didn't exist in anything but GTI/R spec when I got my Cab. I'm more than happy with "Golf" on them... It's one thing to put the LED tail lights on a TSI because they look cool, another thing entirely to put the GTI badges on

                    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                      They do look the goods, but they sure aren't cheap! USD60... I think I paid maybe half that for my GTI ones!

                      • finally got around to install rear reversing camera running it off an ANS810, the result were surprisingly good, i mean it even had lines linked to the steering angle. The best thing is the entire kit cost just $30, now lets hope it lasts.

                        • Finny got around in installing my sill protectors and seat lever thingy. They are some nice subtle touches that really should have been there from the factory.

                          It's just a little glary so the photo's aren't great, but here you go. 10 minutes worth of stick of goodness.

                          Now all that's left is the LED door lights to go in when I get the urge to pull the door trims off.

                          • Decided I wanted to get some new floor mats as the stock ones arent flash.

                            Absolutely delighted with the results!

                            • Nice mats, just wondering how much and where from? Coming up to 4 years old and my heal is almost through the mat so the plastic square would be useful.

                                See this post (they do GTI mats too, and Lucas_R has bought some of those for his partner's GTI - see this thread for that car):
