And the more you delve into it, the more you see where. Especially the doors.

Hello to all, this is my first post on this forum. I have just picked up my new mk6 GTI, i am very pleased overhall alas there appears to be some missing paint ?!!

My car is Deep Black, and under the bonnet the engine bay and the under side of the bonnet are dark grey in colour, is this correct?

Thankfull for any replies

My GTI is DPB i picked it up in july 2009,ive just checked under the bonnet etc and mine is painted the same colour as the rest of the bodywork.

Hi all

................... What next, orange peel on the paintwork to save on the thickness of the paint.

Oh dear, haven't you seen them close up in the right conditions!

Just spoken to VW customer services, all dark coloured cars now come with the under bonnet and engine in gloss dark grey.

Not best pleased at List 27k is a lot for a car that isnt the same colour underneath !

At least they are all the same.........................

Erm I think it was build week 28 ordered 23rd May 2009 and collected 29th July 2009.  Best car I've ever had, I know many of you are having problems with this that and the other but apart from a small rattle in the drivers door which has now corrected itself I can honestly say that the car has been perfect.  And with the addition of the rear view camera and the RNS510 and of course the rear LEDs can see me keeping the car for quite some time.

Helloooo Amanda.

Getting Wolgang back tomorrow morning with a perfect new rear. Took the bodyshop 1.5 weeks and 3 goes! Beggars belief! Cannot wait to get out of the Pug 107. I have run out of brown paper bags which I covered my head with whilst driving that thing!

I love my GTi but certain things niggle. True for every car, I suppose. It is a wonderful car in most ways.

 

PS: Fitting the sub-woofer on Monday, definitely and at last.
