Wrapped Seat Side Trim (Pair) | Leather and Alcantara, VW Golf GTI and Golf R

Wrapped Seat Side Trim

The one panel most builds forget. Your factory seat side trim is hard black plastic, sitting right where your hand rests and your leg brushes past on the way out. We wrap it in leather and Alcantara with contrast stitching, finished to match the seats it sits against.

What gets wrapped

The outer trim panel on each front seat, the one carrying your seat adjustment switches, memory buttons and lumbar control, with the AIRBAG marking on the shoulder. Your switches and buttons work exactly as before. Sold as a pair, driver and passenger.

Two ways to order

• Wrapping only, with your seat order. Your new bucket seats already arrive with their side trim panels. We wrap those panels as part of the same build, so you are paying for the craft alone. The lowest way in.
• Complete panels supplied, standalone. We supply brand-new panels with the switch modules fitted, wrapped and ready to bolt straight on. Nothing comes off your car and nothing gets shipped to us.

Ordering standalone? Switch modules differ between memory and non-memory seats, and between models. Tell us whether your seats have memory function in the field above the Add to Cart button so we source the correct parts.

The Alcantara we use

Genuine Alcantara in 9002 Charcoal Black, Panel specification. Panel is the single-layer unbacked grade, thin and elastic, made specifically for wrapping hard trim, door cards and pillars rather than seat surfaces. It is the correct grade for this part: it follows the panel's compound curves and stays flat at the edges.

Choosing your material

• Microfiber Leather. Animal-free, even grain, wraps tight to the panel's curves. The clean baseline.
• Microfiber Leather and Alcantara (recommended). Leather on the outer wear face, Alcantara on the flat inner section. See the note below on why we build it this way.
• Full Alcantara. Alcantara across the whole panel, for interiors already built around it.

Leather where it wears, Alcantara where you touch

The forward face of this panel takes the brush of your leg every time you get in and out of the car. Our recommended build puts leather on that wear face and Alcantara on the flat inner section, so the panel holds its finish where it takes contact and keeps its texture where your hand falls. This is the build our upholsterer recommends, and it is a durability call rather than a cost one.

Why we do not offer full-grain hide here

Full-grain leather is too thick for this particular panel. Wrapped over these compound curves it lifts and puckers at the edges over time. We only offer materials that stay flat and stay put on this part.

Stitching

Tell us your stitching colour in the field above the Add to Cart button and we match it to your seats. No extra cost.
