Installation of Aluminium Effect Inserts

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Accessory kit

Using a plastic lever, detach the trims around the centre console (the cup holder support must be completely removed to detach the front panel) and replace them with aluminium ones. Instead of purchasing aluminium inserts, you could cover the original ones with a suitable film, choosing not only the aluminium effect but also carbon or other finishes, covering all inserts and mouldings, including those on the doors and dashboard, making the interiors more appealing and modern at a lower cost.
