Blue Graphite?

[neilgcal]

Maybe you dont need it in London but i live way out in the scottish glens and it sometimes stays below 0 for 2 weeks at a time in mid winter and your car is constantly frozen solid. Sometimes if you are not carful your fuel will freeze too!!! thats usually at -20C for a prolonged period of time. I remember it being -22C in the garage with the door closed last winter!!! God only a few months to go before we will be down to 6 hours daylight and the woollies will all have to be taken out of the wardrobe. The Joys!!

A heated windscreen would be a god send!!!!!!!! and come to think of it if they do heated windscreens why not have an option to have all your side windows heated too?

Why have a heated windscreen! Doesn't it mean funny rainbow coloured lines when you wear polarised sunglasses?

I agree entirely, anyone been in a Ford with polarised sunglasses??  (Constant blurr for the rest of the time too, you'll spend all weekend trying to polish the glass....)

Best going for the winter pack with heated washer jets.

Have seen it on a Skoda Octavia (weirdly enough) and you couldn't tell the difference...

I had it on my XR2 back in the early 1990s.  There was a slight rainbow effect in certain lights, but it wasn't intrusive at all.

And even in Sussex, it was extremely handy indeed.  I'm not as far north as neilgcal, but we still get minus 10 and the frost can stay for days in some places.

I've ordered the winter pack, obviously, so we'll see how the heated washer jets do.

Rolfe, you still looking for a pic of a blue graphite GTI. I found this at my local dealer this afternoon. Looks good I think. Excuse the poor phone pics:

[VWKev]

Is that a 59 plate GTI I see in the background ?

[FroGTI]

That looks a lot nicer than Shadow Blue.

I really hope when my car finally makes it to the dealer, they park it somewhere without all that gravel ffs
