Hello everyone.
I am new to the forum.
I have a 2015 GTi which is out of warranty. The metallic trim on the console has peeled off as you can see in the pics. VW South Africa says that the interior trim is only covered for one year, so I am unable to follow that route.
Their solution was to replace the whole gearlever unit at approx R6000 (which is nothing in US $) but way too much for just this trim. (I do believe there was potentially a class lawsuit in the US for this issue?)
Anyway, I have cut myself on more than one occasion on this. So I was wondering if anyone has had the same issue and how they have resolved it sans a solution from their dealer? I am considering pealing it all off and wrapping it with the GTi red as a solution.
Anyone done anything similar or have any novel and cool looking solutions?
Thanks in advance.
