Well I must admit that darker will most likely be nicer on myCarbon Grey car but you can't win them all....it is ordered the official way so no choice for me  :smiley:

Why? Just tell your dealer it was their fault for misinforming you about the colours. They should be able to change the order, especially if you don't open the boxes when they arrive. I ordered a pair of front mudflaps a few months ago, but when I put them on they looked awful, so I took them back to the dealer and they refunded my money.

I will send them an email and give it a shot....They will probably tell me that they misinformed but that it is not possible to get the "R" led-lights on a GTI in the factory...anyway I must be careful not to wind myself up....since buying a car is supposed to be fun... :wink:

Oh right, sorry, I misunderstood. You have ordered them as an option on your yet-to-be-delivered car? I thought you already had the car and were looking to buy the LEDs as an accessory/spare part like I did :embarassed:

Yes, it's frustrating, but your dealer is right. If I had asked the factory to fit my GTI with the electric rear seat from the Phaeton, or the roof from the Eos, I doubt they would have said yes... :wink:

Sorry...STUPID MONKEY VW DEALER.... :smiley:..

He should have said:.... they look indeed different but you can only have the GTI on your GTI....as you said it all makes perfect sense...

BTW...he gave me the Phaeton rear seat and EOS sunroof on my GTI  :evil:
