Door Card Interior Colour
« on: December 20, 2011, 11:56:00 am »
I was looking to replace my passenger door card as it has a few small scratches and the door cards seem a reasonable price. Are they easy to replace?

Just so I don't get the wrong colour, are there many different shades of grey for the interiors of MK5 Golfs? I have the standard Tartan interior so my cards appear to be charcoal but are pretty much all others the same? If it has the aluminium trim does that essentially mean it will match (GT/GTI trim)?

Cheers  :happy2:

I believe there is only one colour for the plastics and that is anthracite or anthracite after a 56 plate it was then titanium black.

Thanks Guys!  :happy2:

I'll keep watching eBay to see what comes up, there always seems to be a few. The changeout seems fairly straightforward too.

Can someone advise whether this is the correct match for a GTI?

It looks similar to me but not sure whether there was another colour close to the one in the GTI:
