GTI Seat raiser inserts - my different approach (I think!)

[DanoGTI]

Well, I found a set of nice "GTI" inserts on GolfGTI.co.uk - thanks to Makaveli  

As soon as they arrived, I set to installing them - went a bit nerdy on them tbh, but I pretty happy with the results.

Cleaned up the housing first - despite my keeping the car UBER clean, it's amazing how bad this gets.....



 

I'd already cleaned up the metal inserts.

I didn't want to go with the red duct tape or resin option..... so I did this instead....






Yes, I know the car seats need a vacuum  :tongue:

But I'm quite happy with the results - pretty subtle I think

Any comments?

Looks good what did you use to glue them down??

Thanks,

I used super-sticky foam pads - this has also raised them up about 1mm, so I get a shadow on them (you can't really see it in the pics!)

I can't really see what you've done?

He's put some kind of patterned wallpaper underneath. I think!

[DanoGTI]

yep. Been to B&Q for some wallpaper. Looks so much better.

Bit of a sod to get the paste to stick in such a small area though.

I thought I could see some sort of pattern underneath but couldn't make out what it was!

[DanoGTI]

yeh bad light/poor photographer  

It's some carbon fibre sheet.

ETTO -  I like it though   or have I committed VW sacrilege by not using red?

Mine has Black underneath rather then red.

Red tends to faid after a while and looks pants.

Nice idea with the CF wrap

[Hurdy]

Repeat after me...

MUST USE RED>>>>MUST USE RED>>>>MUST USE RED

[DanoGTI]

LOOK.

EVERYBODY knows that black is faster 

Black with C/F is even better
