They look more grey than black. Anyway its your car, your mods. Who cares what others think. Too many folk recently quite pass remarkable about others.

For what its worth I think they look great  :wink:

Bought myself a personal registration to be used when the 66 plate comes out in September.
It's my first one but my current plate doesn't exactly stand out :whistle:


What did you get yourself?

Tempted to get my Santiagos refurbed in black, but not sure black on black works.

The Mk7 side crease is an attractive feature, but so vulnerable.

Opposite extreme, I guess, are those plastic panels on the side of that Citroen thingy. Not vulnerable, but soooooo unattractive! You'd rather have a dent, wouldn't you?  :sick:

I'd rather take the bus or train.

My other car IS a Cactus, owned for more than one year now...and no car park dings in it at all!

Since buying it, I rarely take the Golf into shoppers car parks as I just feel so anxious about getting a mark down the side.

FWIW, the Citroen has been as reliable as the VW but some of the interior plastics are really hard and it feels very flimsy in places too, but it only cost just over half the price my Golf and is much more interesting to sit in as the interior design is truly unique.
