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,

        heh, hardly a fair comparison, the stock ones are bits of fuzzy cardboard

          Yes they fit nicely. They use genuine VW mouning plugs on the mats so they clip in and out perfectly. The 2x front mats are actually a few inches longer than the original mats (they go higher up into the firewall area) which was an added bonus. I'll take some more pics showing them in the car.

          True - i expected the stock mats to be of better quality. But like you said, they are cheap flimsy things arent they

                    I'm considering a set group-buy or not. They definitely look the biz. Would be very interested to see how well they go in a GTI style.

                    Only suggestion I'd make is the logo - GTI or R - could be a bit smaller, and more subtle.

                    • ...and can the outside/borders be black instead of white?
                      Some say he was the Stig... all we know is that he drives a VW Transporter.

                        Ask Ashlee (get to her via the "contact us" page on their website. I never discussed a group buy with them, but it's worth asking.

                        I agree - in hindsight the logo could be a touch smaller, but the size of the logo is something i forgot to discuss with them.

                        Yes the can do the outside borders in a range of colours to match the car (red / blue / green etc). Black is definetly available as it would be what they would use for most standard mats.

                        PS - the borders on mine are actually a silver/grey colour, but they look white in the photos. I asked for that colour to try and match the united grey paint on my car.

                        PPS - i now have a set of stock Golf R mats if anyone wants a cheap set. Only done 9,000km and are in excellent cond.

                        • These forums are dangerous... I have purchased more things for my car
                          Firstly, the same mats as Lucas, but with blue edging (we shall see what they look like when I get them, thanks for the tips Lucas on the other forums... btw, my seat inserts are a silver colour so would have matched, the stock mats have a silver edging also actually).... and now:

                          Saturday project to finally fit my CAI

                          p.s. another option for the heel pads on the mats from the place Lucas got them from:

                                Well, I'm close to pushing the button on this, but if someone is in the process of investigating a group buy I'll hold off a few days. Otherwise, they seem like decent value as-is, as long as they're sturdy good quality mats.
