thanks mate. they are only 16's, i think they look bigger because the spokes go all the way to the outer rim

Aye, they look spot on mate
Wish I got the reverse sensors now, wonder if I could get them fitted now??

thanks pal they are defo the best thing about the car at the moment as its quite standard as it is. hopefully that will change soonish

yeh im sure you can ! the vw ones are plugged into the radio and when engaged the whole radio screen changes and it shows a picture of your car with a (zone) behind it to show how far away you are kindda hard to explain similar to the system in bmw's. oh and the music volume gets lowerd so you can hear the beeps.

but im sure if you didn't want the oem vw parts there will be loads of sensor kits about. my uncle put one on his Audi a few years back and they are still working !

Problem

Pedals have arrived !! and i could wait to open them, so i did !!

First one looked absolutely fine



But then second one looked like this



and the third was even worse !

Whats wrong with them mate? Hard to make out what problem is?

Sloppy. Are they the genuine VW goods too?

considering these are oem they dont look as good as the ones my gti have the finish on the second one is really poor

it may just be me but on the second two pedals the rubber seems to be for want for a better word "bitty" in the first picture the rubber around the base where its inserted into the pedals clean. you know what i mean ?

any they are most probably oem the packaging and part numbers all check out. they arnt the ones from a gti tho, they are from a audi tt. it also must be noted that i didnt clea them at all for the pictures with a bit of a clean they should look ok.

i did show my cuz and he says they are fine, he told me "end of the day they are only pedals, your gonna put your feet on them !" - thanks for that advise cuz !

Did you get them off the seller on e-bay? Are the metal bits ally or stainless?

thats what i thought, sloppy !!

yes they came in all vw group packaging and all part numbers check out

update, the other two pedals have cleaned up and now they look bang on !

but the accelerator pedal is quite scratched so i have emailed the guy to see what he can do

Have you tried metal polish on a dremel on the accelerator pedal?

not yet ! was waiting to hear back from the guy, but i cant be bothered going through all the hassle with him, so im just gonna polish them up and fit them

Good news mate... My pedal set has arrived but the accelerator pedal looks like its either been used or it might be just the way its been made??
Will put pics up later...

Put a complaint into e-bay if they are selling used items as new!
