I've completely fallen for the headlights now.  They were odd to start with!  Great colour by the way.

It has been treating me so fine after it came back to life after the accident... So glad I can drive it again and it is back to it's former glory!

 

 

Are these the Gloss black wheels or the anthracite?  Looks awesome.

Gloss black - I saw a same color car here a few days ago with the anthracite wheels and they didn't look half as good - at least for a white car, you really need the glossy black.

 

Search in this thread and somewhere there are some slightly better pics of my car where the wheels can also be seen

Nice.  I have just ordered my 245 in Black which obviously come with Black gloss wheels.  Was tempted by the white with the black wheels though.

White was not my first choice, but it grew on me - with all the black bits it looks great.

Only downside is that it is VERY hard to keep clean..

Yes, I have a white Tiguan currently so I know what you mean!   I find between washes this stuff is great.

Ditto, white wasn't my preferred choice either, but that's second hand buying for you!

 

But, it has grown on me and totally agree the black pack helps. Add the pano roof & you have a great looking car. 

Cleaning is an issue, but halfway through a 1500 mile European trip, I'm quite enjoying the grubby look!

 

Edit: pic added, black highlights complementing the white...... it is properly grubby, but the image doesn't do it justice!

Don't think you'll find them much cheaper than this TBH

Aren't black.

 

Blacks are just for the chosen ones.

Might be able to do a 42 month rental deal, I don't intend to use the 19's my vRS 245 will come with but, its a PCP so, I'll need them back at some stage.

Are you sure? The description says 'from the RS230? Look black to me:

 

 

Edit: that's misleading! Here's the link to the black extremes:

Correct info

[dunc69]

Heading home from Europe trip tomorrow with almost 1000 miles already.

 

Bitter-sweet moment - sad to be going home, but looking forward to the road trip tomorrow!! 

 

9/10th loaded. Loving the artificially lowered look at the rear!

230 Extremes are Gloss black, they don't look very glossy to me

Why the wrong colour? Which vrs model is it? 

 

[Trav804]

Great engine. Get a remap if you need more go! 

 

Other options?

Or a DTUK tuning box if you want to keep your warranty
