I know I like the leather seats a lot but Audi leather seems to hold up better my mates got a 52 plate a4 and the seats are mint after 160k miles yet these golfs seem very worn quickly.
I got mine off ebay aswell, iv had a quick look but can't find the seller. Iv had x2 types and its all been good. One lot has been on the red strip on my grille for over a year with no problems!
