Have you fitted the tweets in the pillars as opposed to the door triangles because of rattle. Not changed mine over as yet, just interested to know.

It's more of a sound stage thing, a lot of SQ cars have the tweeters in the pillars.

Placed an order with VAG parts tonight. I've ordered:

1x replacement speaker grille trim (one of mine is damaged)
1x set of interior door handles (to replace the worn ones)
1x heated mirror switch (i broke mine by accident when wiping my doors and the dial won't stick back on)
1x indicator unit (to replace cracked one damaged by garage)
1x roof aerial repair kit (no explanation needed here

)
1x rear aero wiper
1x set of GTI anniversary sills
1x set of TT pedals
1x VW sport door pins

Should tidy up the car a bit

are these the door handles with the sort of rubber coating?

cause big patches of mine are worn but i'm unsure if you can replace them or not.

you got a link to them?

Mouse_GTI · Post by **Mouse_GTI** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 5:16 pm

Not got a link to them but I do think it is some sort of rubbery paint coating. It's so crap you can rub it off with your nail where it's worn

Driver's side interior grab handle: 6N0 867 180 E
Passenger's interior grab handle: 6N0 867 179 E

Both mine are still in the packaging awaiting fitting, make sure you choose the darker grey finish - there is a lighter one (beige?) available!
