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.

Those guards incorporate the foglights into the guard. Actually pretty cool.

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.
