Why didn't TC or MB tell me Black cars are a pig to clean ...

Mrs C "why are you washing a bramd new car?"

note the stock BBS, different from spoiler and painted side skirts

2008 starts on the 1st of March according to UK car registrations

Painted lowers on rear and the little badge that says I've got a K04

and the interior that I'm not 100% about. better that the stock GTI but I'd rather full leather. Atleast the steering wheel is on the RIGHT side ;~)

Nice car, I agree with you there on the interior, stitching is cool but the plaid's gotta go. Yes black is a b!tch to maintain, I had an 89 Jeep Wranger (black) and a Dodge Avenger (black) and never again.

My next car will also be black.
