I shouldn't laugh...........but I can't help it!  :grin:
Wonder if Tiger tanks had their paint jobs finished properly? Maybe only up to the mk6 version!
Sounds like you just have an over sensitive light sensor (a female light sensor?)

 :laugh:
In my case it would be a Pink Tiger and would be sent ASAP to the 'crematoriam'!

You've obviously forgotten about our earlier spat.
RTFM

I only remember worthwhile things and never hold grudges. :smiley:

Am1w,
I know that one. It was a work mate who then went round and pointed out the door jam/rear of the wings today that are also not painted that i had missed.

Bugger. Said his BMW was beautifully painted inside and out.
'Pity' I said, 'It looks like afterbirth'!

A friend of mine p!ssed himself when he saw the boot floor.
I was not amused. :angry:
I wouldn't have been amused standing next to a grown man with wet trousers either. Hope you didn't let him sit in the car afterwards?

As I am not into 'golden showers,' I was not interested and did not check the state of his being!.
Anyway, he was wearing a dark blue suit.
I certainly did not let him into my new sanctuary, especilly as he is a BMW man! :laugh:

Mine's an early build so may be a bit different then. Not driven the car for about a month so can't really remember!
I'm sure my dials are lit all the time, maybe it's just the needles. I tend to drive on sidelights much of the time anyway as the DRLs look horrible.
I agree about the DRLs,  quite easy to switch them off.

You might 'agree' about the DRLs, but you have been of no help and unnecessarily sarcastic.

I am normally very helpful, but I also think if you buy a brand new car for circa £25k then you should spend just a little time reading the excellent manual VW have produced. I think sometimes sarcasm is very necessary.

And sometimes, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! :wink:

All i know is when you go into a Multi storey carpark and you have the lights switched off the dials dim and the red pointers stay lit, it looks pretty cool.To be honest i`m way to busy to study or worry about the operation of the lights in the various positions :smiley:
