It is self adhesive Alcantara look foil, mainly used in trucks. I used a heatgun for heatingup thé foil around the edges. Not really hard, just need to take your time.

That’s looking great, such a leap from the first photos. Can I ask if that’s the biggest circumference you can get in with standard suspension?

Hey! You talk about the dashboard trim - where did you order it? I struggle to find it anywhere and wonder what the color options even are, if any. Did you contact any official VW service or how did you get it?

Are the Polo GTi seats a straight bolt in fitment? Someone near me selling a set. They look really nice in your van.

Your van is looking great! I just got a mk4 life (non-maxi) and managed to pick up some 215 65 16 steels locally. Can't wait to get them on!

Not RHD, I live in Czechia so LHD here. The "fake carbon" decor I got in mine seems like a bad tuning attempt to me :D But maybe I will just live with that. Did not buy the car for the looks in the first place. But yea, looks could be improved still :D
