Looking well... Just need the seat inserts now...  :happy2:

I've actually got some but I'm not sure I like them.

Hated the cheap crappy red tape behind them so if I mount them you would just be able to see the grey plastic through lettering.

Thanks.

Yes. My car already had the cover under the drivers seat as my car had the FM signal booster / switcher there for the old style headunits (the newer 310/510 series have it built into the headunit.

Then I bought the passenger side one. Its from a golf plus and I had to modify it a bit to get it to sit back far enough on the amp and its just velcro'd in place but its more to hide the  amp from anyone looking in that anything else.

The interior is so mint. Where did you get the mk6 steering wheel from with red stitching? Also what parts are needed to fit the mk6 wheel? Thanks

Picked it up from ebay with an airbag for £300 (which was a bit of a bargain). Its a genuine item. VW make the MK6 with red or grey stitching. And then i just needed the 'CH' steering controller (£115) and a new 'G' revision cruise stalk (£50)

Is a VW dealer doing the respray or an Independant garage?

Are they using VW's own Tornado red, as it can be an absolute balls ache to have a perfect match on Red.

To be fair i'm paying £760 to have the bonnet and bumper painted so its the least they can do :)

Yes VW Chelmsford and I've banged into them the importance of the colour match (which is why im paying to have the bonnet and bumper done there even when their quote was about £260 more than the next most expensive)

They are refusing to blend the wings to the doors as part of the 'good will' repair but if its not right then I'm not going to sit back and accept it lying down.

To be fair... when I bought it I knew one of the wings had been painted (checked it all over with a paint depth gauge) and the colour match was actually excellent so fingers crossed they can do just as good of a job!

I've got fears of it coming back multiple colours though. My first car was a 1990 honday crx in rio red. It was lots of different shades or rio red though so I had a full respray in milano red and it looked awesome.
