Genuine VW Beetle mats
Well.... I just had a shock!!

rung my local VW Dealer to order a set of Beige mats for my cab only to be told it was going to cost me near on £80 for the set!!!!!

does anyone know of any other supplier of genuine VW mats or at least ones that will use the original fittings as £80 seems a total liberty to me!!
must be beige though!!

Cheers,

Mark

I bought a complete set, albeit in black for about £20 from the main dealers! They were for a Golf MK4.

£80 is quite cheap compared to many OEM mat sets. I could do them for you but they ain't gonna be a whole lot cheaper than that. Having said that; our mats are nicer than OE ones

i dont think thats cheap......for exactly the same set in black it was £44.99, and as above you can get a set for a Golf for £20 odd quid!!

basically they are charging a premium because theyre Beetle mats and also because theyre beige!!

To be fair to Antix the quality of the OE ones is not going to be as good as the ones I know he supplies, as they say you get what you pay for!

Im sure they would yes, they would either be the push fit or twist type. I just went to the main dealers for mine as at the end of the day im gonna put my dirty feet on em and dont mind paying £20 for a set and ruining them.
