The exterior carbon isn't Osir. Only the interior stuff, mate. Delivery was free on the Osir stuff from Parts4euro. :happy2:

Im really liking the OSIR stuff!  :happy2: Do you order it off their website? Hows the delivery and do they charge any extra for being in the UK?


....Most of my carbon is OSIR. All from TTshop Bedford who are the official European distributers/resellers. Theoretically it's cheaper getting it from across the pond in the good old U S of A... BUT, you'll get hit for UK vat etc etc... Plus, if you have a problem it's much more difficult to get it put right - I once had to reject an OSIR carbon foglight panel because the weave was all over the place, but TTshop were excellent and it was replaced without question.

Some folks have reported fit problems but that has never been my experience. The fit of body panels on the Mk5 Golf ex factory ain't exactly purrfect anyway.

All real carbon is relatively expensive.

I'm posting a feeler later today for carbon fenders (I call them wings) as I can organise a group buy.

Its mainly the interior stuff that has took my eye but the rear valance / diffuser looks really nice! Do you mean TTS Roadsport? I had a look on their website but the lack of pictures isnt helpful!

....Yes, it's the same company. They are crap at maintaining their web site but are helpful on the phone. Justin is a good man to contact there.

Never been a fan of carbon much, but love the bit in the fog light cover.
Did you get it done professionally or do it yourself? Or did you buy it from an online shop?
