Trying to see if there's interest in MK8 Euro rear headrests?

[schwab0]

Greetings gents, I'm in the process of trying to get a MK8 Golf R and dealers are making it difficult LOL, anyhow, I'm trying to see if there's any interest in Euro Rear headrests from the US folks in here?

We can only get leather GTI and Golf R ones at the moment (sorry cloth guys once again). The price is unfortunately going to be higher than the MK7's . Probably in the $350ish range hopefully. We're still working the details with the vendors that can source them.

Just trying to see if anyone would like a set (pair) in a few months after we hopefully get a few sets in.

Cheers!

Yes!

I just need to make sure we are getting the right parts, this time the interior differs between EU and US spec cars. I'm trying to confirm part numbers as well.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks!

Throwing my hat in the ring, I would love to purchase Euro Rear Headrests for my incoming 2023 Mk8 GTI.

Unfortunately our supplier is pretty limited on what they can get at the moment, Leather with Silver stitching and red stitching only at this time.

If there's enough interest we can organize a group buy!

Would buy a set of the blue ones, but no interest in silver or red.

Dang, I need cloth with red stitching to match my tartan/cloth interior…

I have a set of cloth ones, they're MK7 but fit and will look better than stock. The post is slightly rusty from storage, but form and function unaffected as you'll insert it into the hole. They're usually $200/each, the whole set for sale $255+shipping. DM me and I'll send you the coupon code.

Those ones we're working on but no ETA when we'll find a batch at a good price

Still patiently waiting for this to update and scouring the web… aside from auto-fold mirrors this is my one mandatory early (aesthetic) upgrade.

Anyone have pictures of the GTI S or Tartan version of the euro rear headrests? I’m gonna be bummed if I missed a deal on the Mk7 rears just to find the MK8 is nearly identical…. But I am a purist.

Any closer to having these in stock?

Hey Bud,

sofar all we can source is leather with Red or White/Silver stitching. Here's a few pics:

The actual EU spec with the color combo in the USA we're still working on. We can get them but our prices wouldn't be any better than e-acca.com or cars245 .

I hope to have better news in the future.

I’d happily pay E Acca prices if I didn’t have to wait E Acca times.

Well that's good feedback, but we pride ourselves for providing low prices and fast shipping. We'll have to get a batch run and see what we can do.

No worries, I love the commitment and happily await the update. These leather options are FIRE!!! Just my OCD has me holding out for the cloth

I appreciate you!

I'm in for a set of R rear headrests. If I have the rear seats folded, I can't move the driver's seat far enough back! Sucks being a giant sometimes
