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 :whistle: :grin:

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! :grin:

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

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
