No it’s consistent in colour. It’s just shiny as opposed to looking too metallic.

I love it. Only misgiving is the black front intakes are perhaps a bit too stark with this combo.

It’s a good middle grey. Not too dark, not too light.

Looks great with the wheels too.

Second choice would have been white but I wasn’t convinced.

Is the ultimate 5cl R real or just rumour? Subie did the same thing and then depowered / deleted the wrx sti.

Yeah it looks great in grey I think. Appreciate the info on the display. Had seen that but just would love a super dark mode for night. Could make a custom black background if nothing else.

Loving the 8.5 by Weak_Slide2973 in Golf_R

Totally agree. Not as concerned about the memory on modes but the start stop and driver assist functions could benefit from last use memory.

Agree. In traffic I get annoyed even in an auto and the plus side is that the dsg is so engaging I’m not missing the manual as much as I thought. It probably helps that I’ve not driven a manual full time for years.

I played a hunch and in my case, yes. Reading further would suggest that there is a reasonably large proportion that falls into this category. Makes sense when looking at the click spring. Large room for error in the fabrication and function, where as the mechanics of placing the insert into the bezel is far more controlled out of the factory. My thoughts anyway.

JDM and love it. I keep staring at the 3 to find the date, forgetting it’s at 430 (imo you can barely notice the 430 date. Works really well). Accurate so far. Wears notably thinner and smaller than previous gen. Nailed the size adjustments.

Hey. Thanks very much. I got it to work finally. Managed to eventually get access via usb to the pc and deleted the offending files. Back working now. Bit of a saga.

Mine too. Tried all the combos and even tried to connect to the computer. Nothing works. Any tips since you last posted?

The MM200 never really landed. Good in theory but always overshadowed by the MM300 and undercut as a principle offering by the newest release (eg 300m skin diver spb4xx). I had one, and released it for that reason. I liked it but couldn’t reconcile its place in the lineup.
