Heres a good question i had forgot about. Does the mk6 have the rubber seal on the front of the bonnet all the way across like the early mk5 did but later ones did not?

Just been out to check mine now.
Yes Snoopy, it does have a seal to cover the gap above the central grille and another one over each headlight.

And simonpolly, my engine bay is also pretty clean.  :smiley: 8000 miles and just done a round trip of 380 miles over the last few days in some pretty grotty weather.

Perhaps he has been working on it in the rain,or getting over excited with the pressure washer and snow foam :smiley: :undecided:
