Also, be careful on the top and interior combos given to you from VW, they are not always accurate. For example, I have seen where it is suggested that my combination should have a blue top or black top and a blue interior.
Yet my original interior red and when we redid the top, there was reminants of grey. _________________ Kevin "Wiggy"

Those guards incorporate the foglights into the guard. Actually pretty cool. _________________ Kevin "Wiggy"

thanks for the pics. Anyone have more pics of Dolomite? It looks interesting.
As for interior colors being optional I know, my car is Iris blue with Red seats and light blue piping. I may go back this way but am not 100% sure I want Iris blue.

Exactly. I've seen Iris Blue verts with BOTH blue interiors and red interiors.
I'll look for more pics. I haven't seen very many of them. _________________ Kevin "Wiggy"
