Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • 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

      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.
