Floor Mats for the Mk6

[triode12]

VW Rubber mats FTW. Easy to clean and cover more area in the foot well. And don't look bad too.

Yeh - they do look pretty good. May have to have a chat with the dealer. Especially because they ordered a 5 door instead of a 3 door and I pointed it out when I asked for a NADCON screenshot a month after ordering. That must be worth something...

And to top it off, in order to keep the delivery date, the only one they could get was one with bluetooth - at an additional cost to me.

Ohmang,
dont feel too bad about the Bluetooth.
my original order, which I subsequently canceled to get a quicker car, didnt have bluetooth, but the new car did.
I thought as i use a Blueant speaker in the car, which I have been happy with, that it was $500 I didnt need to spend.
Originally I had chosen MDI for music connectivity. But new car has 'tooth instead of MDI.

But I gotta say I loves the Bluetooth. It is awesome. AND I can still stream my music through it also.

So, very happy with the Bluetooth.

My Golf R is only about 6 weeks old and has just clocked up over 1,000kms - and i have noticed that the flimsy and cardboard-ish floor mats are ALREADY showing signs of wear, in the area where your heel rests while driving.

Has anyone else with a Mk6 noticed this? I compared my mats to my friends Mk5 GTI and my sisters TT-S, and the mats in their cars are of a significantly higher quality in terms of the carpet used.

The mats in my Golf just seems like $10 Supercheap jobbies (in fact, i have a set of $10 Supercheap mats in our daily Corolla and they are in better condition than the Golf's).

Does anyone know of a place that makes a good quality OEM style floor mat? I think im going to need to get myself some better mats.

There are lots of places around the internet that make custom floor mats of varying quality and materials. You can often pick the pile style and thickness, colour, edging, logs, etc.

Custom Car Mats is a local place I found with a 30 second google search. They're on ebay too.

I got a Barloworld umbrella and VicRoads european plate holders.

I have a 2011MY 118TSI. I'm after some advice on how others keep their golf's carpets and matts looking clean. It seems that everytime I put my feet on them they leave everything that was on the soles of my shoes. I've vacuumed the carpet & mats on the weekend and only used the car twice but they are quickly starting to show everything that I have walked on!

Being totally honest with you mate, it all depends on QUALITY of the mats. I am a car detailing fanatic..... practically vacuum my car every single week and of all the cars i've owned, the cheapo ****ty mats that i've had in the past are absolutely crap. No matter how much you vacuum them they will always trap dust and then look worn out after about a year.

Now i have good quality ones in the 1 series and they always look new after a vacuum. They just dont seem to trap dirt as much. Kinda like a good short pile carpet compared to a ****ty nylon one.
