When i got my GTD i noticed the steering wheel had the R badge instead of the GTD one and the plastic bits around the steering wheel are gloss black instead of silver, so i take it thats the R steering wheel. Anyone seen that before or have VW put the wrong one in? Im not complaining like it looks alot better, just curious.

This is most odd - I wonder if someone picked up their new R and it had a GTD steering wheel  :grin: most disappointing.

i wouldnt like that on my car personally.

it would alway leave a doubt in my mind as to why it was wrong.




i once knew a lad with a fiesta which had a mazda 121 steering wheel - i told him his car had obviously had in air bag deployed as it was the wrong wheel - he didnt even realise the mazda badge wasnt a ford badge!

VW QC  :grin:
Quite a few cars got through with either leather door panels or one leather door panel with cloth interior at the start.

That would really bug me cos it doesn't match anything! :angry:

True resale might make people things the airbags gone off and the wheel replaced, I would be suspicous as a buyer.

I'd get them to change it and tell them I wanted the R wheel as compensation and flog it.

Although can they not just change the inserts?

On the newer GTDs, the insert is black gloss with just the letters in silver as opposed to mine which is all silver.
