I've looked and it's definitely not a Fabia, or Superb and not a Seat. But VAG's websites are rubbish for looking at interiors. Skoda's site doesn't have any interior photos, Seat gives little views of the interior that are more vague than Trem's "guess the car" photos! And the VW site doesn't seem to have a gallery at all.

The mirror controls are definitely VAG though, the knob has a terrible habit of breaking off.

Trem, do you know the extent of the repairs on yourcar? Did it need a new boot floor after?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

not sure about the bootfloor tbh i asked for a list of parts and i got lost after about 5 mins cos it was a long list but other side has admitted liability(no sh*t) so its all going ahead nicely.

the repair centre is apparently going to send me a copy of images of damaged bits so when its all dealt with i'll post them on here :cheesy:

did i mention i got the hire car replaced :cheesy: :cheesy:

If he's got a toe-rag as a courtesy car I'll be up that way next time I need my car repaired! 8)

I dunno, those plastics look too cheap to be VW or Audi, that's why I was reconning on Skoda. Deffo not a Seat Trem?

You can find pictures on VWs site by clicking the brochure links. Check out the Jetta brochure centre console picture to see why I was so confident I'd found it :)

All I know is that I'm bored of looking through VAG online brochures and I give up guessing (It's not a focus welton, I looked there too).

I now realise that whether a person has a VW, Audi, Skoda or Seat, their going to have very similar interiors.

TREM, we need sneak outdoor photos. Otherwise at this rate, you'll have had your 407 back before we "guess the VAG"


(Note to VAG: The "request a brochure link" should read "download a brochure", and the brochures don't have a lot of photos anyway)
