Hey Dave. Just curious: which mods have you performed to the car? I’m thinking about adding the lane assist feature where the mirrors light up if someone is in the other lane and hard to see. And perhaps changing my rear view mirror for the one that’s edgeless.

@golfdave i think Saborway might be the VW supplier for the original parts themselves. Either the vendor themselves have a AliExpress-store, or the vendor deals only in parts from that supplier.
Just installed my rear usb air vent trim today. Also got it from Saborway and it arrived to the u.k in about 2 half weeks. The whole install took about an hour to do. Hardest part was feeding the connecting wire from the cigarette port under the armrest console and out the back next to the air vent. All parts look OEM and all works properly.
Here are my side-by-side photos with the differences outlined. I have the the '16 GTI center console which does not have the drink cover and has a manual e-brake. I believe that's the main reason that it doesn't fit properly. I might be able to modify the tabs to make it work, but not sure it will be secure enough.
Let me know if you guys have any questions or want any specific photos.
Back from the dead, and quoting a years-old post. But the mounting is just one of the differences between Manual and Electronic parking brake center consoles. I just finished a retrofit of the Electronic parking brake into my NAR Golf. Golf/GTI's outside of NAR came with Electronic parking brake. So the "compatibility lists" on most of the Ali listings was/is correct for most places, just not NAR.
The center console I picked up (from eBay) came with the rear vent panel but my vent panel was in better shape so I thought... I'll just use mine instead. It did not fit, because of tabs and the hinge area for the arm rest. I guess I'm ordering the one with a USB-A and C now. Coming from a car with manual hand brake, I had a 12V plug under the arm rest, which the new console does not have, so that's easy.
MSRP for that rear piece, as delivered without USB ports, is $240 . Lots of dealers discount it, but not down to the ~$75 shipped for the USB port version.
This an easy one... you really need it.
