Thanks for the photo. How is the ring held in - tabs or glue? Any chance you also have a picture of the back side of the ring as well. Much appreciated.

Do you have some photos of these in your car? do they work perfectly?

As I am thinking of buying 4 of these myself. Thanks!

Post #36 in this same thread. They work just like the factory vents.

Are these the ones you ordered, but you changed out the red for black?

I ordered some of these from Vagmall on the 14th and my order still shows as pending - how long did it take before yours changed to shipped and how long in total?

I emailed them over the weekend but no reply so don’t know what to think.

It took about 3 weeks to receive the vents after I placed the order. I never checked the status on the website so I can't speak to that aspect.

I just ordered a set of the all blacks from the q2. was 200$ shipped from the UK. Should be here in the next couple weeks... These are a little tough to source online. Gotta keep your eyes peeled.

Please could you log into the account and see if your order status ever updated from pending?

I don’t expect them any time soon but I do expect that my order status will say shipped and they would reply to my emails. I am very tempted to open a dispute with paypal as its been 10 days since I ordered. I want the vents - but if they haven’t shipped I would ask why not? And if they have shipped and I ask Paypal for the money back I get some free vents!

I would AVOID ordering from Vagmall - I think that @SteveO987 got lucky with his order.

I ordered around 3 weeks ago. My order NEVER changed from pending. I sent 4 emails asking them if it had shipped and NOTHING back.

So I sent a message on WeChat - after 3 days I got a reply saying that they would check the order status the next day and get back to me - that was a week ago.
My order status now says CANCELLED.

I opened a PayPal dispute and they have a week to provide proof that the order was shipped or PayPal will refund me.

I am very disappointed in VagMall. It is not hard to reply to an email. It is not hard to tell me if my order shipped. They have ignored the email from PayPal about the dispute and further WeChat messages I have sent asking for an update if they are shipped or a refund.

In my opinion VagMall are scammers and do not do what they say. They are ripping off customers and stealing money and hoping no one notices. Do NOT use them.

I got my q2 vents from Germany. They look and feel really good.
