That looks pretty fantastic.
Lovely shine, lovely colour, nice spec and I do like the red accents on the FL GTI leather :afro:

That’s one great looking GTI. Indium Grey looks lovely, even on a dull day.

Thanks all  :smiley:  Really liking the colour  :cool:
I had a Indium Grey Scirocco and I am not alone in thinking it looked a different shade than on the Golf. I don’t know whether it’s the red details or the shape of the car and the way the light reflects but it doesn’t seem anywhere near as greeny grey that the Scirocco did  :undecided:
Either way, I am really pleased with the overall fit and finish on my car and am loving the digital dash noticing little things all the time like the green trace on the speedo when you engage the ACC it shows any difference in the speed from which you set it at. Also the seats. Photos don’t do them justice as the red perforations are nowhere near as red as the photos show them and in reality are very subtle and I personally love them 😍
More observations in due course 🤓
