I'm a fan of the steel wheel look. Reminds me of stock cars and hot rods of the fifties and sixties; a cool all-business industrial look. If someone made a lightweight alloy version, I would consider it for year round use.

Man I love this color, haven't been able to fully appreciate it on mine since it hasnt stopped raining since I bought the car.

In the rain as usual, damn Germany!

I'm looking to buy a Carbon steel grey GTI next week. Is it easy to keep clean or do you have to wash it often ? Should be better than black i guess ?

Gets dirty on the motorway but no too bad. I love the shine so wash it once a week.

Also give it a decent detail polish and wax when you get it and keep it topped with a quick wax and it cleans really easy.

How'd you get rid of the orange marker in the headlights? That looks so much better.

It came like that here in Japan.

What is the best way to upload the photos here...(file type, size, pixels) seems likes I cant add anything that looks decent.

Are you using the 'reply' button in the grey rectangular box to the bottom left of the last post - you can upload photos directly from your computer there using the 'Manage attachments' facility ..... if you use the (more obvious) 'Quick Reply' button you don't get that....

By the way - what does NH stand for - presumably a US state (this is an international forum so some of us are a little rusty on our US geography) ;-)

Nice rear tints!

Put carbon fiber inserts on the rear emblem this morning. I think it looks pretty clean on the CSG color.

@hawaiiGTI like that look where did you snag those from ?
