Well, thanks to the scrappage scheme, which has finally persuaded my OH to part with the BMW cabriolet he has owned for 20 years, we take delivery of a brand new Golf Plus SE 1.6 next week.
It will be our first brand new car and though its exciting its also worrying.
We have two dogs, which is the main reason we went for the Plus really, and I have to say they have made a real mess of our other cars upholstery. We have managed to find a Golf Plus dog guard for them - as we have never confined them to a boot before, but we thought as the back seats can slide forward, they will have plenty of room in the boot. The VW people wanted £270 for the dog guard, we got it on ebay for £35 from someone who was selling their Golf Plus V. But realistically, those dogs are going at some point to leap onto the seats in the car. So we have thought we should look for leather seat covers or leather look - we couldnt go to the nearly £2k they wanted at the dealers.
I saw a Walser WL19620 set for £270 which seemed great in nappa leather but as I was about to buy them online I noticed the small print said not suitable for seats with an armrest - its a long time since we ordered the car, but I seem to remember a front armrest. And it also says not suitable for seats with airline type drop down tables which I definitely remember on the car.
Can anyone kindly suggest or know of a set of covers for the new Golf plus SE model please that arent ridiculously expensive and which actually fit that model.
Many thanks.
