What is "10 wagons"?

I used Audi A4 headrests for my red stitched leather, I believe they were from B7 variant (2004-2009). No red stitching, but I only notice because I know. Look great and much improved visibility while maintaining functionality. Also nice you don't have to move the front seats up when lowering the seats to get sufficient headrest clearance (its the little things our mods do). Sometimes have to educate passengers to adjust headrests by moving up. Very reasonable $66 for the set.

Did you get them online? Link?

I purchased thru eBay.



Doing a quick search I found these https://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-2005-2...=item1a6d7d40ca:g:TrsAAOSwYNZavT~-:rk:47:pf:0

If you want OEM Euro ones, they are spendy, but worth it to me anyway. I just picked up the GTI leatherette ones from E-Acca (cheapest source) - €285 for the pair (~$435 CAD) shipped. The Euro exchange rate is better than the USD to CAD rate right now.

Not sure what trim you have and whether it is leather or cloth, you can try to find the part # from the link below if you're interested.

E-Acca. I got them locally for much cheaper but they are still worth it.

thanks for the bump.

I have a contact in Latvia and was looking for some personal shipment, but then thought hell, Canada, so I started searching there today as well. Will check out that sight.

So far, I think I can get the actual GTI Leather trim low profile shipped to the US, from Europe, for about $500 total, but going to keep looking...

any part numbers or whatever?....also, all I get is Cyrillic when I search that site....

I assumed that Canadian VWs got the Euro interior trim (headrests anyway, no? )

EDIT: holy crap, no thanks then. I see this is also in Latvia, and I'd rather go through my Latvian friends to get this done directly and not a Russian company in Latvia, lol.

No Canada gets the same headrests as the US.[emoji53]

Their website is in English, too. I used both versions.

I got a set off ebay here. Expensive though.

Just to clarify, this should be the proper part # of the outers, right?

Even translated to English, entering that part into the website order doesn't give me an English confirmation of what it is, or a photo. I wanted to do some pricing through them and then see if I can get it cheaper through my people over there.

Any idea what the part number is for the matching center headrest?

The center headrests are the same between NAR and ROW
