I've got the tray in silver but not the surround. See them on ebay sometimes.
'05 GTI - laser blue, 5dr, DSG, blue glass, heated leather, highline, cruise, sat nav, 10 speaker stereo,MFSW, xenons, 18" Monza, puddle lights, Ipod, retractable mirrors, factory tints, winter/summer mats, bootmat, luggage net, mudflaps, tailored blinds, x-tec plate leds - always looking for more OEM options.......pretending the pikey paddles are OEM+!!

............my first 05 reg GTI had it,very nice it looks too.Shame they kept it for the R32 & took it off the GTI. VW should have re-fitted it to the ED30.
ED35. Standard factory condition.

I have just fitted the brushed Aluminium one in my ED30, should have been in there from the start. PITA to fit though.

Yup mines like that but it is an early '05. Its nice touch but I'd like a silver surround too.
