Matching colour shark fins?
« on: 18 May 2013, 18:00 »
Why doesn't VW use colour coded shark fins with the new Golf? Would look sharper and blend in better if they did. Other top marques have them. Surely it doesn't save them that much money to keep it plain black plastic?

It's the little details that count :nerd:

I quite like the gloss black plastic.

+1, plenty of other black accents on the car so it all ties in nicely imo. :cool:

You're right.... But it's more by chance than design :wink:

+1 for exactly the same reason, whether it's by chance or not!

Are we talking about the shark fins on the front bumper? I think the black set's them off nicely against the car's main colour.

I think they are referring to the sharkfin on the roof
