Everyone else thought she looked hood as she was well maintained.

My brother and sister in law are about to pick up black car's 2023 VW Amarok and VW Golf, I can't stand the colour look good for 5 minutes before they look dirty again.

White is better untill winter driving but i do say she look's good with the black bits.

EDIT: Was referring to the white chevy

I don't think I could ever buy a black car, too much work, too much disappointment. It's bad enough with the darkish blue of the Qashqai.

I've had 3 white cars, all Holden Commodores. I was walking through a carpark the other day and I noticed a lot of the white cars had those black particulates from the exhaust all over the back of them, some worse than others. I'd forgotten all about that, it was really annoying when I had the white cars, you'd wash them, go for a drive, and you'd see it all stuck over the back. And if it rained before you cleaned it, it looked disgusting.

BF i thought at first it was a BA but the logbook said BF but NOTHING as clean as yours what i can gather it was first registered in Adelaide then off to Tasmania it's a Green top engine so 100% LPG only which sucks a little.
 
While at the carwash after work I took a pic of this 2010 MS3. I noticed it while drying off the EN and was going to ask to take a pic because Derek0609 used to own one before he went on a Stinger bender

When he left he came by me and said "Love your car", so I asked him if I could take a pic and he said let me pull over. After taking a quick pic he showed me around his 13 yr old/120K MS3. It was overall in nice shape but that paint was baked...literally I forgot the name but I've seen those last gen Eclipses in that orange just turn lighter colors/fade like this Lava red pearl has but hey, it was a 20 something driving a 6 spd and that's a great thing to see. He was also respectful of me by calling me sir and was very positive and outgoing, his parents did a great job raising him

There was a bagged Stang there and a FoST, also modded 8th gen Si, always cool, modded cars coming in and out of this place, just waiting on the 991.2 GT3 to come back there because I've seen or should I say HEARD that thing leave the wash several times

Guess I didn't miss doing the FNW there today, worked out great!

They were sold over here as the Mazda 3 MPS, most people thought they were just a standard 3. You have to find someone who knows what they are to get decent money for them.

There's a 6 in the same colour I walk past most days, there's almost no clear coat left on the roof.

Is that the OE hood, looks different than ours

I'd imagine the clearcoat down there gets hammered BADLY & QUICKLY, even garaged, huh🫣

Yeah, that's OE, maybe something to do with airflow to the intercooler, or local safety regs.

Love the 35th Edition rims. I put Golf R rims on my Mk6 TDI, customer got tired of bent rims so we swapped haha. I'm an OEM+ kinda guy. Same with my GTI, what "mods" it had were just GTI Clubsport S parts. That muffler was so good....ugh I miss that noise.

All my brother in laws have modded cars from GTIs to Ram TRXs and they always ask me when I'm gonna mod my car. I counter and ask when are they actually going to wash their filthy cars. LOL

Yeah I hear yah about a "special edition" model and it's rims being left alone and like you said, you've done "OEM+" or as I coined the term in the early 2000's "factory aftermarket".

Post some pics of those past rim swaps

No doubt but the peer pressure from the VDub community has gotta be stronger than "needs to be lowered guy" when it comes to "when you gettin' rid of the OEM rims" guy.

Saw this while walking my dogs this morning, a 2009 Holden Commodore SS Sportwagon 6.0 V8. 14 years old and in great condition, not perfect, but close, and only slightly modified, tastefully lowered, with late model wheels. Usually they look rubbish, badly neglected, or some idiot has made it look "special".
