I saw those but the font is wrong and for the mk4, so decided against. Also if I get the seat inlays and footrest I want, its gonna get a bit over -GTI'd if you know what I mean  :smiley:

I was thinking the same after getting the inlay and footrest, especially as there is already a GTI banner on the door sill and mat already.

But the inlay and footrest do look the dogs :happy2:

I was planning on doing that (reason I ordered the one with holes) but wasn't able to remove the footrest from the car :ashamed:

I couldn't remove the screw on the side of the footrest. Will give it another go when I get a chance.

EDIT:
Although I have found it is solid with double sided tape anyway :happy2:

Mine was tight too, ended up just pulling it out. Its only a plastic push in screw anyway.

It will look better once screwed in  :happy2:

I meant the font was a MK4 font and therefore wrong - should have explained better! :ashamed:

Are the original silver sill covers supposed to say 'GTI' 'cos mine don't say anything?!
