Yes its carbon grey met  apparently it was only availiable for a short time , but not sure , really hoping its got the led rear lights , did they become standard at any point ? Or what pack do they come with ?

I can tell by the pic, you can tell by how thick the white indicator part is the normal lights are thicker and the led ones are smaller

It's the colour I opted for, one of my favorites. Cant say the GTI looks bad in any colors really.

I changed the Monza's for Glendale's though.

Good choice  :happy2:

I think rear led's became standard from late 2010.
