Has anyone else noticed this on Mk7/7.5?
« on: 24 September 2018, 16:15 »
So I had a small mark from new on the top of the steering wheel that always annoyed me a little on my 7.5. Used to catch the light. Once you'd seen it you can't un-see it!

And my GTI Performance has a very similar mark. Hard to see and get a pic of but clearly a mark on the edge of the aluminium.



Anyone else got a similar mark??

I can't say I'm impressed with the new digital dash, it looks very blurry  :smiley:

I've just checked my Mk7 steering wheel and there is no mark there as far as I can tell.

Yes have exactly the same on my GTi. Does annoy me and tempted
to try some cleaning products but scared of taking the surface off.

And it seems to be wearing a weird sad expression too :undecided:
