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 Nanolex sealant I bought is for textile and leather so may be something you're interested in, otherwise I wouldn't bother - just maintain it using the right leather products. IIRC there are some threads in the detailing section on it.

I had mine Opti coated after delivery (and had the wheels done). For the interior I bought some Nanolex sealer and did it my self - no, I don't have leather.Originally posted by Dutch77 View PostComment

Very happy with the OptiCoat. Nanolex requires a well ventilated space (or an ability to hold your breath for some time, but seemed to go well - I haven't tried spilling drinks or chocolate on it to verify it though.Originally posted by Dutch77 View PostComment

Looking to purchase the VW Rubber Mats (unfortunately there isn't an 'R' variant) and the plastic boot liner.
Any suggestions on where to get em cheap or if there are some other preferred options out there?Driving: Golf R Mk7 MY14 - Pure White, DSG, Leather, DAP and SunroofComment

Have a look at Car Mats - Mats for All Car Makes and Models of Vehicles | Matcraft - they did up R and GTI mats for Lucas R I believe and he was happy, and a few others have followed suit.Originally posted by anduril View Post
Others have used this UK seller in the past as well I believe Car Mats in Black to fit VW Golf Mk.7 (NEW 2013 on) + Silver R Logos | eBay
I had the reversible carpet/plastic liner chucked into my deal to get me to sign, I wouldn't have paid for it otherwise, but again you might find a suitable boot option through them as well.Last edited by Dutch77; 09-05-2014, 11:30 AM.

Thanks Dutch77! Have sent the eBay seller an enquiry as they don't seem to do international shipping. Boy there's so many things I want to get and do to the car the missus is not going to be too happy...Originally posted by Dutch77 View Post
Next up on my list: Powdercoating the Cadiz to Black. Wonder if anyone's done that yet...Driving: Golf R Mk7 MY14 - Pure White, DSG, Leather, DAP and SunroofComment

This forum is horrible in that regard. I suspect there is some kind of subliminal text hidden each time you login encouraging you to mod..Originally posted by anduril View Post
If the price is good enough I assume the UK would have freight forwarders as well like the USA - just depends if it is cost effective or not. Hopefully the seller can ship direct however.
I've been looking for black Cadiz for my wheel thread and am yet to come across any. If I was you, unless I was 100% positive on the look, I'd go and buy some plastidip and try it out first - a cheap option and if you end up not liking it then simply remove. You've also then got the opportunity to experiment perhaps with gloss or matte black as well to see what works best on the white R.

Nice find, I'll get these up in the wheel thread.
I'd still try a plastidip first, I'm not 100% on them yet - losing the detailing of the wheel kind of makes them look like 'clogged' Talladegas from a distance.

Has anyone found an extender or replacement for the DSG paddle shifter?GTI PP Mk7

None. Which is odd given how long the car has been out in Europe.Originally posted by wasabiz View Post
Given the rest of the wheel and button changes the chances of the Mk6 standard shifters being the same as the Mk7's are probably almost nil?
