couldn't see it on OP's picture, but now I've spotted it on the steering wheel of my 7.5 gti, it stands out a mile. Maybe it's where the steerings wheels are joined in the moulds, like the little tabs that hold airfix pieces together, when you separate then it leave a little mark

Had this on both of my MK7.5 GTI's

I'm not alone then!  :smiley:

Hee-hee - yeah.  I'm a bit embarrassed about two 7.5's in my signature line.  Took me all of a month or so to realise I'd bought the wrong car in the 1.4.  But better late (into the GTI) than never I guess.  Luckily my decision to change coincided with a VW discount campaign on the GTI, so it didn't cost me much at all in the end.

I'm somewhat relieved that the blemish in question is so widespread!  I thought it was just my car. 

1972 Turquoise Superbug S; 1978 Miami Blue Golf GLS; 2007 Mk5 Tornado Red Golf GTI; 2017 Golf 7.5 Trendline Tungsten Silver 1.4ltr 110TSi with DAP; 2018 Tornado Red GTI with DAP.  All MT.  Current: 2021 Mini Cooper SE, British racing green.
