AndyW Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Looks really nice, I'm still planning on getting mine re-trimmed and it wouldn't have occured to me to get the shelf done, thanks for the idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The subtle modder Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Nice its little touches like this which set it apart from other cars with retrims where they have just done the seats etc, have you thought of doing the headling yet? im doing mine when all my seats are inwayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 The red stiching is a nice touch. It wasn't so noticable in the other photographs.Andy, I presume things like re-trimming would effect the VW warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't so noticable in the other photographs.Andy, I presume things like re-trimming would effect the VW warranty?I doubt it, can't really see why it would, maybe say if it was on a lower model that had cloth heated seats. If there was a problem with that function they might wangle out of it by saying the non-VW endorsed re-trim might void the warranty in that specific case. It wouldn't shock me, but if they'd even notice it was a re-trim is another point to remember . It might have an effect on insurance if you told them, but that would depend on individual companies I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMon Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 To echo everyone else, that's looks right smart! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Thought the leather parcel shelf might have looked tacky, but it actually finishes it nicely.
