  • Plastic trims

    My B8 R-line wagon has a black trim just above the grille. I have seen other B8’s also R-lines and not which has chrome trim to match all other chrome on the front end.

    Does anyone know if this is a R-line feature which has been dropped or did the scope of the features change with each years release?

    Mine is a MY16.

    Thanks

    Where is the plastic you talking with?

    Can you illustrate it?

      Assuming he means the strip above the VW badge at the tip of the bonnet that stretches the width of the car?

        Just saw mine and it’s all chromed.

        Mine with LED head lights.

        The chrome matching the headlight chrome. Bit thicker.

                  As you do not have the optional Luxury Pack, you do not have the LED Headlights, hence the different Grille / Headlights etc. (Along with other differences...)

                      Ahh, I wish there was an easy way to have less chrome. There is way too much on the 206 Rline, and it stands out a lot with the white for some reason.

                        I wish I could have more chrome on my Night Blue. I got chromed Mirror Caps already.

                          Paint to Black for the wheels and mirror caps. It will look great.

                              That was on new year eve. Parked in a visitor parking.

                              Tightest but get away with all the sensors.

                              No problem.
