I still have my diamond cut 18" Charleston's ...I'm not in a hurry to put them back on though, as I prefer the Rotary's.

Keep the Rotary's on  :smiley:

+1 looks superb, nice colour, bet the red stripe on the grill stands out?

It's a GTD so no red stripe  :whistle: but anyway we need to see a pic of the front now SRGTD  :wink:

Might be a little less rare now as you (Mrs Wigit) and SRGTD may be setting a trend  :wink:

I'll see what I can do, but will need to wait until the weekend to take some pics, as I've not got any of the front. Sorry to disappoint you C3PO, but my car is............a GTD  :shocked:, not a GTI so no red stripe, but more than happy to show you the chrome stripe on my grill.

Here you go. Apologies for the poor quality pic. Will post up some more (hopefully better quality ones) in a few weeks time when I've done the full post-winter detail.

Thanks.

Ha ha  :grin:. Yes, I did drive it there. And there was me thinking it's looking dirty enough to need a wash! I'll not bother cleaning it this weekend now.  :smiley:

Mmm, very, very nice :drool:  Both front and rear  :cool:

Absolutely love carbon grey, my favourite colour after DBP, and really suits the GTD.  Lovely with the GTI red stripe too, but something very classy about it with the silver chrome stripes of the GTD.

Exactly why it would've worked great on a mk7 R, with the silver mirrors, lip and single stripe.  We seem to get shafted in the UK over colour choice compared to the European market.  Mind you there are some horror choices on the German configurator  :sick:

SRGTD, it does look very clean, your OCD must be worse than mine  :grin:  But then they can never be too clean can they  :wink:  Still  haven't managed to wash mine since new year and it is disgusting, went out to do it this morning but snow put a stop to that  :sad:  Maybe tommorow??

Thanks Booth. It's not a clean as I'd like it to be when you see it close up. :grin: OCD? probably, yes!

My previous 2 Golfs were DBP; I love black cars, but they really are a labour of love - even more so than Carbon Grey. I was close to going for white with the mk6 but I've no regrets in getting Carbon Grey. It is a challenge trying to keep it looking good at this time of year though. I'm looking forward to giving it 'the works'  in a few weeks time, which gives me a good excuse to get my DA polisher out that I treated myself to last year.  :wink: Time for a photoshoot then, methinks.

I agree, I think Carbon Grey would look great on the R. But a DBP R with Pretorias will be a winning combination.

Just looked at these on the VW website, I'm guessing that price is per wheel not including tyres?  :sad:
