Lol, women just can't understand this talking about cars/publishing pix on the Internet business, can they? :)

I feel guilty now about stressing you out re. the polish. DON'T WORRY, I'm sure you haven't done any damage.

Excellent interior, congrats on NOT getting the boring, plasticky and expensive leather. I sat in a GTD this morning and the cloth seats are so superior in every way. Also congrats on the upgraded audio. Love the way they've integrated the tweeters into the A pillar :)

Now stop thinking about your ruined clear coat and go out and drive the damned car :D

You're one of the guys I had marked down as being pretty sensible, what happened ?

Oh right thought it was about the deep shine,as for the leather i`ve had leather before in a 205 gti i had and to be honest it looked and felt far better quality than the v.w leather in the golf mk6 gti,the leather interior just did`nt look all that imo,i actually prefered the cloth which saved me £1675,each to there own i suppose.Be abit of a boring world if we all thought the same.

Advantages of leather on the MkVI GTI:

- looks classy from a distance
- it smells nice for about 3 weeks

Disadvantages of leather on the MkVI GTI:

- it costs a fortune
- it looks like immitation leather close up
- it's cold in the winter
- it's hot in the summer
- it's slippery all year round
- VW stretch their leather too much, making the seats (even) harder
- it requires regular maintenance (creams & cleaners) to keep it supple
- even with regular maintenance, the driver's side bolster will crack after a few months
- the leather used on the driver's seat will sag and/or stretch after only a few weeks
- it doesn't look sporty

Although i do like the leather i have chosen the cloth as i didnt want black leather. If they had offered more choice with colours or you could get the side bolsters etc in the same colour as the car then i may have gone for it.

I also think on the black leather they should have had red stiching to match the steering wheel, handbrake and gear stick, but i guess thats just a me thing and being overly fussy!
