R steering wheel in GTD
« on: 13 December 2012, 18:58 »
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.

Did you buy new or used?
I would assume used and the previous owner changed it

Yeah i was'nt charged for it either. If i remember correctly when it was mention to the dealer on picking the car up, he did'nt even know it was ment to say GTD, which says it all about my local VW

Sounds like a mistake.... :smiley:

Atleast its a good mistake  :smiley:

How odd :undecided:

It sounds as if they forgot what they were assembling some where along the assembly line  :laugh:
