So the the GTI tettering on the photo in this is red?
Loos pretty much the same to me them again may just be my eyes

No it’s silver, any redness on the GTI badge is a reflection (possibly of my red face as it was about a zillion °C in the car when I nipped out to take the photo)

my new ‘wheel has a silver GTI badge.

Probably me but I can't see  difference in the pics!

There is no difference, that’s the thing.
It’s a new steering wheel bare bones and it looks like the rest of the trim is refitted from the original ‘wheel after a wipe down with something.
No updated trim was used.

Had mine replaced today... All trim, buttons, paddles (the R ones I fitted myself) and airbag was transfered on to new rim. Bong free so far.

That’s interesting re the paddles! I have them too and I was wondering if I ever needed the wheel replaced would I need to revert back to the standard paddles first which would be a pain.

Here is a picture of the later steering wheel with the new font emblem, I still have the old airbag VW badge, but the wheel is the later 2022MY, and was fitted at factory in late 2021.

The later style wheel does look a bit nicer.



How are everyone’s bongs now the warmer weather has been in for a while?

No bongs but my infotainment system reboots itself everyday when I pull out of my drive on full lock. Something strange going on there. April 21 CS

That’s very odd.

Very odd indeed. Makes me think it might be steering wheel related.

I will book it in with the dealer and see what the say.

Tends to be the standard response - replacing the steering wheel
