Grumpy

Mines completely standard and will remain that way. Its an 05 plate with a genuine 17,300 miles on the clock. I have replaced some exterior trim recently e.g.badges and wheel trims, and that was purely because they had become a little tired due to their age. I used genuine VW replacements.

I was lucky with the rear GTI badge as mine is an 05 plate and therefore the badge is all silver rather than the "i" being red.

I tried my local VW dealer last week and they said they were no longer available from VW, nor was there any old stock showing in the dealer network. The same is true of the rear Lupo badge however I did track one down as existing stock in Antony VW, Aberystwyth. They had 2 in stock. I purchased one so if anyone else needs one I would be quick.

A long shot but does anyone have a brand new pair of genuine front GTI mats which they would like to sell please? Thanks in advance.

Its Black. I had an 05 GTI in Reflex Silver with 35K on the clock which I sold in Feb this year and regretted it so much I just wanted another. Blue would have been perfect, however, as you all know late low mileage one owner GTI's are like hens teeth.

Thanks both - rears just purchased from ebay. Will start the hunt for a genuine set of fronts. I have recently purchased a 16,000 mile 05 plate GTI which is immaculate, inside with the exception of the red piping on the existing mats. I have tried everything to clean them up but I just can't get them pristine.

Please does anyone know the part numbers for front and rear mats. Also, are they still available from VW? Many thanks.
