Hi Folks ..
Has anyone found a really nice leather steering wheel cover for the mk7 (TSI) ?

Just ordered a set of mudflaps on ebay... NEW MUD Flaps Fender Splash Guards FOR VW Golf MK7 VII 2013 2014 Hatchback | eBay
Asked the dealer about them as potential compensation for late delivery and was told that at $120/pr they couldn't do but I got them (whole set) from ebay for whatever $CAN27 works out to be...

All the "covers" look pretty terrible - if you want a leather wheel i would recommend either of the following:Originally Posted by aussietanker
1) find a genuine Mk7 leather wheel and do a swap
2) take your steering wheel to a good auto trimmer and have them trim the wheel in your choice of leather (perforated/non perforated and your choice of colour). I had a steering wheel in my old Nissan 200sx trimmed in leather by a professional auto trimmer and it looked and felt awesome. Cost $350

Do previous models not come with that as standard (my MY15 TSI does)?

Give it a month or two and you will be able to get them through vendors on ebay. I got my Superpro alloy control arms for my Mk6 from ebay. The Mk6 ones are about $500 so that should give you an indication as to how much these will be.

Thanks for the tips re the steering wheel cover ...
i did look at some over the weekend at an auto store that we just happened to be driving past and they were all pretty horrible ... which is why i asked the question
when i initially made that post i didn't think my steering wheel was leather (i have the baseline 90TSI) ... it certainly doesnt look or feel like the leather steering wheels that i remember ... but after doing a bit of googling i found this > VW Golf MK7 Leather Multifunction Cruise Control Steering Wheel 5G0 419 091 DJ | eBay > which is basically what mine looks like (except its not missing bits and is actually attached to my car) ... so i guess that mine might be "leather"
However, it's NOT the nice quality leather steering wheel cover that i have locked in my mind .. so i guess that i will be off to the auto trimmer after xmas to get a nice cover and a couple of other things sorted
and another accessories question ..
i spent some time last night sorting out my am/fm preset radio stations and getting the station logos into the radio (ended up "making my own" that were much clearer and easier to quickly read than the actual station logos - some of which i found too "detailed and fussy" to read at a glance)
but the thing that i noticed most about the car while doing that at night is that the interior lighting in both the boot and the car is pretty dim ... can anyone tell me, to "upgrade" the interior lights > is it as simple as taking the old bulbs out and installing these > Volkswagen Golf Mk7 Premium LED Interior Lighting Package 2015, 2014
has anyone used these and can confirm that they are brighter than the OEM originals and that they will work (and not throw up error messages on the screen thingy) ...
otherwise, any other light kits that i could look at?
