My car is Dragon Green and I had assumed up until this point that the white pinstripe down the side was factory. (I had no reason not to) But today when I was waxing her, I noticed a couple spots in the white pinstripe where it wasn't quite straight and this is what I saw...





That little bit of green poking out there and in the second pic the grey/silver caught my attention. Anybody ever seen a 2 tone pinstripe like that on a B4. On top of that it appears to be in the clear coat and painted on. According to CarFax my wagon was hit the right rear back in 2010, I can only assume that matching the pinstripe on the repair was the reason for the cover up.

Just wondering if anybody has ever seen that before, If it weren't in the clear I would have said the dealer added it, as I've not seen it before on another B4. :screwy: ]]> Foxtrot http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6049125-B4-Pinstripe-question-2-tone-and-painted-on http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?6049123-Clutch-tower-pedal&goto=newpost Sat, 25 May 2013 09:44:42 GMT Is the clutch tower from an 1Z TDI Seat the same as for the B4 1Z TDI?
