Anyone that doesn't like the stripe in the headlights could get a set from a GT and ebay the GTI ones.

Not sure how easy the GTI ones would sale as look pretty strange unless replacing a damaged unit but think I would be very tempted as would no way detract from being a GTI and in fact make a little statement to VW that was far from everyone taste come the MK8

Was at St.Albans VW today and finally saw the white GTI in the flesh and had a real good look around :)


That's the one I gave a good thrashing too  :wink:

So it is you responsible for all that soot on tailpipes then!  :grin: LT13 VXV is the plate and you can see she been well used as quite dusty on body and wheels/calipers and some tar marks etc.

Only seen TR before and the white certainly brings out the lines, many not even noticed before.

How hard would Carbon Grey be to keep clean, compared to Pure White?

exactly the reason I didn't go for carbon grey and that was the upkeep of it. mines left on a busy main road at night and not garaged ever. if I had a garage or off road parking then it would have been different.

Seagull sh!te is my biggest concern - Seagulls everywhere around me. They feed from the Fish Quay then fly a quarter of a mile to my house to rest on the roof and have a sh!te all over the cleanest car they can see.

This is my only concern with the csg, it's off street but the seagulls round Hartlepool love my roof
