Hi Bruce,
I did think about doing the armrest, or just have a thin strip down the centre of it as the gaitor has been done before, but decided that I liked it too much to not have one myself!

Lovely car. I've got the same RML rims and love them

Thanks for the compliments, Though I am gutted as I have not seen any other MK5's with them on, was getting a fair few glances in the que at Ultimate dubs, though they could have been saying 'look at those crappy RML's!'

Haha - got to confess I was gutted too when I saw this thread! Someone actually ran over to me as I was leaving UD to ask what they were.

Can show you a pic of the mk6 steering wheel if you want, but that's about it for the time being, oh, and could show you the dashboard that is lit up like a Christmas tree at the moment with all the fault codes!

I went to MJ interiors in Bradford who had the material in stock and did all the work too, have heard there is not much of it left in the UK.
Failing getting some off Mike at MJ (who will sell you some if you ask nicely) try this guy:

£35 for the gaitor, I did not have the arm rest done.

Moi?

(think I've been rumbled!)
Ah well, why not show off my latest addition, been to the garage 4 times in 2 years to get different springs, coilovers, etc, and still couldn't quite get the look I wanted, so when I spoke to a few of the people on here in the know, and pestered them with a hundred different PM's, I decided this was the best way to go.
And when you spend on this kind of kit you have to go to the person who everyone recommends, so 100 more PM's to Luke and then this Thursday (a week ahead of my booked in date, I tootled off to Leicester and picked it up: (thought as the car is now so much sexier that it needed better pictures than on the driveway!)
