I think LSG is a colour that looks great when it is spotless but anything less then it looks a bit....meh. :undecided:
It looks sh!t on a bog standard Golf thats for sure

Thanks, I have a GTD in LSG on order.

Should look very lovely, especially because it shares the silver stripe of the R which works very well with LSG.  Please post some pics up when you get it.

After my rant about the orange RS3 earlier in the tread, I saw a new S3 in Sepang blue today and it was a real looker.
One of the few blue cars I have ever really liked the look of.
I would say it's far nicer than Lapiz blue but I would probably get in trouble :whistle:

Few pics of the new Lockwood 5dr R sill protectors I fitted yesterday. Removed the plain etched ones and replaced with these.

Looks good Rebecca. Thought your carpet mats were looking dirty, until I realised it was the dirty screen on my i-pad  :grin: (goes off to clean it..............)

Hi, they are the Premier Super Lux mats from carmats2u.
 
From here http://www.carmats2u.co.uk//vw-golf-car-mats-mk7-2013-onwards-2486-p.asp

 :smiley:

This is what I ordered:

Not cheap, approx £62 with delivery but well worth it.  Much better quality than the standard mats (which are now my winter mats) and the reinforced heel pad is fantastic.
 
This is what I ordered - on the order form drop down menus I selected as follows:
 
Carpet, rubber type - Premier Super Luxe
 
Colour - Black
 
Edge Colour - Twin Two Tone Edge Black/Blue
 
Edging Type - I have ordered Twin colour edge
 
Right Hand drive
 
Automatic
 
Add info. Logo etc here - Please include the new Golf R logo on the front mats - photo of logo to follow by email.  Logo to be in Electric Blue colour.
 
Add a logo - Yes please, both front mats
 
Choose fixings - Push Fit Fixing - round
