Thanks for the comments chaps!

Showing your age on here if you remember 'le squashed orange'

Cost me £500 at N J Bodyworks in Creswell. Might cost a tiny bit more if done again. Not the first time that I have been there.

Did think about the black roof but then decided against it as after a few photoshops it didnt look right. Thinkin of having some black vinyl put on the B-pillar but unsure. Definately having a black sunstrip tho :)


Thats a good price, had a quote for mine was looking at £1000-£1500 :(

You can get the B-pillars in carbon fibre from Seat to, they were on the GTi's they're £8 each, just had to get some more for mine. Oh and you can get it on the rear (behind the number plate).

Do you have a part number for these Dave?? I saw a set on ebay about 6 months back but they went for stupid money. If they are only £8 each I will just get them from the dealer.

Are they easy to fit?? Baring in mind I will be putting them onto a 1.4 not a gti.

Think carbon fibre on the back would be too much. I would have to see what it would look like tho!

Thats the rear carbon fibre decal... don't see them that often either!

Sorry boys I haven't got the part numbers but just go in ans ask for the carbon fibre decals from the GTi.... it states carbon fibre on their computer.

After seeing that photo Dave I'm seriously considering getting the rear carbon fibre decal aswell. I think that would look really good on a white car. But I dont know if it would maybe look to much. :confused:

Sorry to dig up an old thead but Dave you must have been lucky to pick up a set of those carbon fibre b-pillar things.

I phoned my local dealer and asked for them. They did show up on there computer but they said they arent made anymore. Have to say it was abit of a downer :(

Think ill have to get some carbon fibre effect vinyl and make them myself.
