- čas přidán 5. 02. 2017
- In my effort to add some pizzazz and suede to my MK7 GTI's interior I came across the Xuji "Alcantara" suede steering wheel wrap on Aliexpress. Today we install and I give you my initial impression.

How well has the suede done after 1 year? Is it durable? I'm planning on buying it for my steering wheel.
Just found your channel and I love it I'm sooo happy you're mainly focused on the golf. 👍🏾 Cant wait to see more of the stuff you decide to add to it. Getting a 2012 mk6 next year hand I'm going to make sure it looks amazing
stumbled upon your video searching about these steering wheel wraps, nice video, it was exactly what i was looking for! How has it held up over time? I worry about any type of suede/alcantara holding up from hand oils, dirt and grime, but i love the look! thanks again!
Bro, you look like you can be one of those for life best friends, I don't know you just give that impression buddy. great vid, you've a new follower
that looks dope, might get one for my mk4 gti as my leather steering wheel is already a lil bit worn out
+PXLTD Definitely a cheaper alternative to a new wheel 👍🏼
I did a xuji wrap in my mk5 r32 and loved the feel. Awaiting delivery of the xuji wrap for my mk7 r. Should go great with my bfi Alcantara boot and knob.
Absolutely does look and feel amazing!
Good alternate for me cuz I want a suede wheel but don't wanna lose my controls. THis way I get the look of an aftermarket wheel but still keep my controls
It's either this or the Authentic Clubsport GTI suede wheel. Keep controls and get suede but it's going to cost a very pretty penny lol. IMO I like this better because it is a thicker grip.
So they don't make it for the MK5 :/
At least the brand you got on Ali Express.
Dope video bro. Subscribed.
How is it holding up? Just ordered one for my 335i M wheel.
Grizzly dude what did you exactly say in the pm to seller to till him you want the red ring on top because I couldn't find the red ring in any of the options
Thanks man!
Hey bud! Just message the seller telling them what material you would like and what color stripe. Ex. "May I please have a black suede wheel wrap with red stitching and red stripe at the 12 O'clock position?"
cool vid Bro. Now just to find this kit for my 16 Audi A3.
Try this: goo.gl/M0BD5O
If that isn't it I'm sure a deeper search on Aliexpress or ebay will be fruitful.
Looks great man!
Thanks bud, I'm loving it!
I'm trying to order this cover on the link below however I want the one with the marker like yours but there is no option available, help?
When purchasing send a message to the seller describing exactly what you want.
GRIZZLYTV, What brand of rain guards are those on your windows? specifically the back doors.
Wellvisors from eBay, whole kit comes together for $45!
How is it holding up so far now that you are over a month in with it? Looks real nice idk if i would have the patience to do it myself haha
Honestly still looks great! Have to readjust the corners every now and then but that's mostly due to my poor sewing skills lmao.
Gotta ask, where'd you get your dashboard mat from? Sick car btw. Can't wait to be an owner of a GTI!
looks so clean, hey when are you getting a tune? I would go with United Motorsports. better numbers. doesn't hit boost too hard it's amazing. also I'm still on my stock clutch and I drive hard a lot. at 18,000 miles and I got the tune around 3,000 miles. my clutch doesn't slip at all if you're scared of that
That was a big consideration for me, I was waiting to be able to afford a new clutch to go stage 2. I'm just about there though so I will be swapping out the clutch and flywheel regardless. Thanks though!
Looks great Grizzly! I'm going to be picking up my 2016 mk7 in a couple of weeks. Curious as to your opinions on which tune to go with. People tend to lean APR it seems, but I've heard good things about Unitronic as well. Thanks much!
I've heard unitronic is a bit more conservative and "safe." It depends if you are looking for straight up HP or drivability and comfort as well as if you have the cash to upgrade your clutch. All in all they are very similar and are all great improvements over stock. Congrats on the soon to be new MK7 you are going to love it!
Check out cobb tuning. They an accessport thats lets you customize your mapping. Check them out.
Nice choice in background music + good content.............subbed
Thank you! Welcome to the #GrizzlyGang! Appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Hey man, what do you have covering the top of your dashboard? I also have a MK7 GTI and I like the look of that.. does it just lay on top like a carpet or does it actually stick? Just curious! Thanks bro!
+Brian Meddick Its a Suede Dashmat from Autogeek.com it just lays on top to protect your dash.
Good looks man.
I have a polo gt 6r. Will this work?
Is the wheel wrap only made for the MK7? I have a MK5 so I'm curious if I can find one for mine.
Should be some available for many different makes and models, you'll have to browse a bit on aliexpress.com
How do you like that suede dash cover? How's it fit and look?
Love it, fits very well and looks classy. You can find it at autogeek.com
Hey man I can't find the exact same one you have on the website the one with the red ring on the top??? Can you help dude because it doesn't say it's got the red ring when I try to purchase it just says red stitches??
When you check it out gives you the option to message seller. Just describe the material and accents you want on the wheel.
Why can’t they match the OEM joins in the leather to the suede one. Bottom portion of the wheel wrap material has bulges on each side cos there is a join in the leather underneath but the suede material in that portion doesn’t have a join where it should. Only thing stopping me getting one of these.
What's up bud, forget your name so Couldn't look you up in the mqb page. Anyway, just purchased this wrap from the link you had, however the pics from the link don't show the red ring at the top of the wheel on? Do you know why ?
When you purchase it you have to message the seller and request it. Follow me on insta or twitter for quicker responses lol "thegrizzlytv"
I looked at these covers before. I was going to order the black, red, and gold but Chinese quality scares me, so I didn't. After seeing this I might give it a shot, it looks real nice.
Highly recommend! If your sewing skills are up to par it will be pristine and well worth it.
How did you get the red strip I don't see the option on the website?
Gotta pm the seller!
great... is this fit on seat leon cupra 5f??
Noooo idea. lol we don't have those here.
Just ordered my XUJI Wheel Wrap. Honestly dreading the stitching but greatly looking forward to enhancing the driving experience! And for the price, whats the harm??! Thanks Grizzly for all the awesome videos. Thoroughly enjoying them on my Mod journey for my '16 mk7 Autobahn. Stay boosted bros.
Thanks James! Yeah stitiching is actually not as bad as it looks, I was dreading it too. Once you get the pattern down it's pretty quick. Exactly great mod for the pirce, why not? Thanks for watching man! #StayBoostedBro
bro from where u got the dash cover ?
autogeek.com
Finally! haha :D Looks good
+Addicted, lol right? Im loving it so far.
Yeah, im wondering if i should do the same haha :D
Most definitely!
Is ur car manual it's dope to down shift if it is
+Gabe Santos Manual is the only way to go homie lol 🙌🏼
Not my cup of tea but good job on the install brandon👍
Thanks Adam! Really enhances the driving experience IMO, feels great!
Do you have to ask for the red stripe? The link you provided just looks like one with no stripe.
Yes you pick the color of your choice and when checking out it allows you to message the seller and describe the materials and look you want.
GrizzlyTV sweet thanks!
would this fit a mk6 gtd ??? thanks
This exact one no, but I do believe they sell them for the mk6 as well. It is just harder to find.
Very nice..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Props for NOT having a nurburgring sticker...
Only those who have done the green hell are allowed to have said decal
+Wh1rly Bird lol yeah I wouldn't see a point in having one, I couldn't even go if I wanted to. 😂
Where did you go
whats that on the dash? is that a suede cover?
Yessir, "Suede Dashmat"
Autogeek.com
GrizzlyTV badass man
Highly recommend! Thanks for watching bud.
fuuuuck that looks narly!!! do they make golf 5 steeringwraps? and that accent doeeee!11
Yes they do, you'll have to browse around aliexpress.com
Amazing car can list all parts
greetings from Italy!
Hello from the States! Thank you so much for watching!
Would you recommend aliexpress stuff? Ive seen on there that they have really cheap front lips, rear diffusers, and mirror caps. In carbon fiber even (well might not be real carbon fiber but it looks nice) and I think if they are a reputable site to order from I might try to snag the cheap carbon fiber mirror covers and maybe a front lip
Honestly I know MANY people who have purchased on there and rarely ever have an issue. Most of the stuff is decent quality. As for body kit stuff I have heard it is decent, just be prepared to do a little working and if you know how to paint you can save a good buck or two.
How has the cover held up over the years
Definitely gets oily and slick if you don’t clean it, the same can be said about any suede in general though. All about maintenance.
Hahah nice perform!! Especially that " something about winter, just makes me don't want to do much.." that relaxed moment. Thumb up
Lol thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks great! Can't wait to install mine
You're gonna love it!
Where did you buy your suede dash cover?
autogeek.com
Thanks! Just ordered one🙌🏾👌🏾
Hope you like it!
BeyondBerriosMedia I bought it but thanks. How about direct link to suede steering wheel cover lmao..
BeyondBerriosMedia or are you asking if I have the link?
You gonna sell that APR intake?
Yessir, interested?
GrizzlyTV can you send me a message on how much you want for it. Let me know! I'm in sf Bay Area.
Did you order the wrap from Xuji made for the mk6? I can't find the one in the video for the mk7
Link in the description
It's sad that I spent 850 for the genuine clubsport wheel and this looks just as good kinda. Dammit.
Lachlan Gordon your clubsport wheel is baller dude. No comparison.
Clubsport is definitely nicer. But as you said, to the untrained eye only slightly lol.
Yeah Clubsport is much better, but if you had a professional install this wrap it would look very comparable to the untrained eye. Some would say the difference wouldn't be work the extra money but to each their own. I would get a carbon fiber wheel if I had money to burn lol
I actually regret not getting the custom carbon one ( I had the option), I only wish I could go back and buy the wrap instead of the wheel. Looks good man 👌
Tried a few upholstery places and they don't want to do it because it still takes then a long time and it's a waste for them
Really? How is it a waste if they can charge whatever they want haha, eh it's their loss. I personally would charge someone $100 bucks to do this again lol.
GrizzlyTV yah dude idk! They just didn't event give me a quote lol guess it's like a dealership by wanting to do upgrade work idk lol
So i was wondering what that dashboard cover looks like and where you got it from. Hope to see an answer! Thanks!😁
汽车方向盘套 can u guy type this
Install the f*ing HKS BOV NOW you lazy man!! 😂😂😂 DO IT! Hahaha. That steereing wheel wrap looks good but I think it is really hard to fit perfectly. Take care Brandon!
+Rubén GTI LOL Yeah it was a pain, but feels great. long story short I am waiting on some parts that broke. Plus I keep getting rained out 😂😔
The 'suede' feels different because its fake. I'm pretty sure most if not all things from ali express are either fake or poor quality.
This is true.
I think stock looks a lot better, if you like it that's what matters though
Stock does look a bit classier rather than "race inspired" lol. This feels much better tho and IMHO really does enhance the driving experience.
Nvm disregard thank you !
;)
This video has made me realize that we as VW owners have a disease of eliminating all the cool things about our cars. Gti's and golf R's have some of the nicest steering wheels of any car in its price range and even above and we'd rather put on a tacky wrap or cover over it. Hill assist? "Disable that shit". Headlight washers? "Disable it". Voice assist? "Disable it". I'm not judging since I've done the same on a few occasions (disabled headlight washers since it shits on my car an makes it filthy) but if we want to take the refinement out of our cars we were better off buying an evo. Much faster and less money/hp for mods and no refinement to have to go out of our way to reverse. From my statement you'd prob think I'm one of those that think VW's are the perfect car and they're best left stock. Hell no, from my stage 3 mk4 vr6 turbo to my current mk6 stage 2+ Golf R, my cars are well modded (as was my mk3 vr6 turbo). But what I'm saying is certain things came baller on our cars and need to be left alone. Hell, we paid a premium for them over other cars that don't have those features. Instead focus on where our cars fell short of the mark: power, suspension, wheels/tires and brakes. Love your channel griz but throwing a fake wrap over a beautiful GTI steering wheel is blasphemous. That and putting non oem lights on the car. U spent that much money on the car and u cant justify $600-800 for oem tails and not risk crazy electrical problems, shitty fitment or the lights fogging up or flooding? C'mon brooooo! Anyways dude, thanks for the vids. Always interesting to see what direction the car is heading. I do cringe when I see a new upload of a steering wheel wrap, tire stickers, body panel vinyls or replica wheels :(
Thanks for the input! Many people use these wheel wraps as a way to protect and prolong the wheel. Since it is temporary and completely reversible you can think of it like a suede dashmat. Simply for looks, a better feel, and to keep the stock upholstery fresh and snazzy. As for all those features, I have none lol Base model GTI S. As for headlight's I can't justify spending an extra $2-300 for a light that looks and functions nearly exactly the same as a Helix. They are a popular and reputable brand alongside Eds reps and are commonly used among VW drivers. Much better quality than some swap meet knock off. Also Tire stickers are awesome lol and as for the wheels they are temporary while I save up for my dream wheels. Thanks for watching bud!
i think the wrap looks better tbh
Have you seen the steering wheel on the clubsport S? Our wheels are nice, but there's room for improvement.
It's not tacky. Everyone who gets in the car loves how it makes the wheel thicker and gives the car a more sporty appeal. Its not like he thew one a quick release wood steering wheel he puts up to his windshield every time he parks, these mods are just accentuating the car! Nice dubs btw
Eüro Nasty I’ve had my mk7 for 2+ years and the steering wheel, while very nice, is starting to fade. So I can see why some ppl cover it up early to protect it. Now I’m thinking on doing this wrap just so the wheel looks nicer instead of faded. And yes I do detail my car’s interior about every other month :) just my 2 cents
Its nuback
You have to stitch it yourself? Hell no
Cheap mods
It looks extremely ugly and unprofessional tuning sh*t. I own gti mk7 and would never do this stupid tuning stuff
thanks man, appreciate you.
Beware half of this vid he talks about stuff no one cares about.
