I have to say, I don't think it it as nice as the original. Especially since you don't have the leather trim that has red stitching.

Also with no H pattern, insurance might see it as a way to get out, they love not paying... My old car had racing pedals with no rubber inserts, I had to replace them before they'd insure me.

Hey tosspot, I can understand your point and as much as I love my car, at the end of the day its only just a 2 door polo and I found it’s not worth spending 2g's for the leathers. It looks better without the leather and it has much more character. Anyways that's just my opinion and I hope I don’t cause a controversy over this. I think it does blend in well because there are red stripes on the seats, the leather steering wheel has red stitching, the leather/plastic hand break has red stitching and the leather part of the gear knob has red stitching as well. The original gear stick was just plain boring. Plus, the new one now seems to be more comfortable.

I can certainly understand that. I have leather and I absolutely love it. I extended my budget to get it rather than a standard one. Wouldn't change it for anything. Really suits red and black GTIs especially.

Interesting you say that it's more comfortable, I'd like to see what it's like.
