Need a suggestion for filling front bumper on 19 White Golf SE.......

Dealer not only drilled holes for OE black Lic Brkt BUT then drilled Two more Where Lic attaches to
the Brkt....Might just be better to run the Brkt and Plate at this point but I sure dont like it....

Bumper Plugs.com wants $27 for two plugs ....ouch

If the stock front license plate holder hasn't changed much from Mk7 to Mk7.5 bumper plugs will be too small to fit anyway. I have over $50 worth of them in my garage somewhere.

I added some red to the side fins I think it turned out pretty sharp and an easy subtle mod for an hour of my time.

Gotta heat them up a few phases and clear coat the ends so it doesn't peel . It's 28* out and nasty weather so if it lasts for the next week I'll know they're durable

Bob, could you please post a pic of the Seat inserts alloy trim covers fitted please?
Actually, I didn't use them for the seat lever inserts. If you look at the photo I posted above, I used one as a GTI "plaque" on the right side of the dashboard trim. Just an experiment, so we'll see. I've seen pictures of them somewhere online though.

I also have a set of leather, red-stitched, European rear headrests but those are hard to find.
As usual you may be able to find better prices for these if you shop around.

How about the vinyl inlays for the VW logo on the horn? Badgeskins also has tiny vinyl letters for the GTI at the bottom of the wheel. I also like their sun visor warning label delete decals.

I see background inlays. I want black V and black W overlays.
Plenty of sharp edges on that logo that (unless you want the chrome borders visible ) it would be easy to just put a piece of black vinyl over it all and use an xacto to cut it out.

I searched for this but wasn't able to find anything. Do you have a link, or maybe I was just using the wrong search nomenclature. Variations of "gti mk7 light switch trim ring" didn't seem to get me anywhere.
Are these the "more subdued" mats you mentioned: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-V...GTI-5G1061270AHY-front-rear-NEW-/331526768166. A hundred bucks more than the kind you've got, but they do look good. We'll see.
the subdued mats have been called the clubsport and tcr mats in other threads (particularly on golfgti.co.uk). I have a set, they're nice and subtle. The mojos were a bit too much for me.

Alltrack. Wrapped wheel with perforated leather. I think it was $11 on Amazon


Got some lower profile rear headrests on ebay. Think they were from an older Jetta and match perfectly. Moved the rears to the front. Lots easier to see out the rear and the right side on lane changes.I think it cost me about $100

These are both functional as I see better and prefer the thicker wheel but they are also cosmetically more pleasing.

You guys got links to blacked out badge replacements for my 2017 Golf R? VW logo that is, that hopefully matches my gloss black R. Really don't wanna buy a cheap one that will break/peel.
