The seller has not relisted the item yet but here is the link to the one I bought. I am sure if you contact them they can sell you one outside of ebay.  :happy2:

Mate love the rear. Are you going to do the front spoiler in the same grey colour to match?

Would love to see a retrim in a lighter colour - i've seen Plush's pink and delboy's blue.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Thanks  :happy2:

I am leaving the front as it is - I think it looks awesome already  :smiley:

I dropped the Golf off yesterday to the leather company and they said everything should be fine for Thursday pick up and the rear window will be done at the same time! Cant wait to see it!

I feel like I am missing a limb without my car  :signLOL:

Rear diffuser in grey looks nice  :happy2:
I was thinking of doing the same but not sure if it would look as good on an Ed30 rear bumper..... :rolleye:

I was looking at the ED30 bumper too.

I think it would look brilliant with the grey lower part!  :happy2:

Finally got the car back yesterday from the retrim!

Here are some quick pics:





I am in love with the interior now and the car is complete for me! ( When I get the cruise control fitted  :signLOL: )

Will post more pics when I have cleaned the car to show the tinted rear window aswell.  :happy2:

I paid £925 to have it done. Worth every penny to me  :grin:

Always been scpetical about the quality of retro fit leather re-trims, but that looks fantastic workmanship, can see why you're pleased :happy2:

I would of had the gear gaitor done also and kept the GTI in the headrests, but still looks nice  :happy2:

I agree wish they could keep the GTi in the headrests.

Tomorrow I am going to attempt to fit the cruise control. Wish me luck  :signLOL:

Do they have to strip the old trim off of just put the leather on top?

^ I never normally like any leather anyway, let alone different colours...  :sick:

But I think that just about ticks my 'like' box Smoftah. Brave move having it re-trimmed in the first place too imo  :happy2:
Door trims look neat too  :congrats:
