It's weird. They kept telling me there was none anywhere in the country and asking if I wanted to cancel the order. Then one day I got an email saying it was ready for pickup.
I'm abot 98% sure I saw the inside of a Golf TSI SEL that had all gloss trim, including the glove box and door panels. I haven't seen one personally but I thought the early Mk7 Golf R's were straight gloss black and not the faux carbon of the GTI's.
Okay I do see that now, yea I would imagine those tap being an issue.@Klrider44 In deep hindsight, some of the issue folks probably had is that Mk7s outside of the US had EPB.
I found out, when doing the EPB retrofit, that the entire center console is different.
It's likely the trim piece I ordered (and referenced here) as not fitting, would fit the center console for EPB.
Had you tried to install the AliExpress part you would have found another trim piece on top also doesn't fit/line up.
The securing tabs could be shaved off completely and then the piece glued in place maybe, that's far from ideal.
