I just did this today.
I had a look at a couple of red golfs today and they did suffer aliitle bit in the apillar/wing area but not as much as other colours.
Also two white GTIs did too but its much harder to spot.
The metallic black seemed the worse. Worse than mine!
I got too see two blues the same colour as mine both were better in these areas but still not great.
I got to see a graphite blue and it was worse than mine
A dark grey one had only very very slight little bit there nothing much really.
I also got to see quite a few mk5's and those too suffer the a-pillar problem in varied degrees.
It seems a very common thing for the a-pillar/wing join
Some others that i got too see seemed ok but this maybe because of very small panel gaps in this area so they may have been ok or the tiny panel gap just masked it.
On the subject of the rear of the front wing panel in the door area. As the dealers were shut i was looking through panel gaps only
The two red ones were pink in this area in places on the ribbed section.
The two blacks were yellowish in these places.
The grey seemed ok.
The two shadow blues were similar to mine from what i could see grey on the ribbed bits and a bit grey round that area.
The graphite blue looked ok.
The mk5's seemed ok in this area.
The shocking thing was seeing all the mk5's even back too 2005 with similar issues in the a-pillar area some of the blue ones make mine look like nothing! :shocked:
Why has no one with a mk5 pointed this out before im wondering?
