Thank you for all the responses and pictures. It appears that VW failed to paint my spare wheel well area and I will address it with the dealership from here.
Bear in mind that some colors without clearcoat present very differently than others. If you have metallic paint, expect it to look very different in the area that's not cleared. Your best bet would be to post a pic here before you try to beat up the dealer. And as recommended, the ideal thing to do would be to find another car in your color at a dealer to inspect. Ultimately, this is a matter that I'd just ignore, unless you're planning on turning your car into a delivery van or audio display car, letting anyone do body and paint work on your car should always be a last resort as it ultimately does more harm than good in nearly all instances.Thank you for all the responses and pictures.

Holy crap.On my 21 GTI S, first aid kit and roadside kit was a $99 option
My '21 SE was painted in the rear, and no liner. I bought the liner and put down dynamat first and then the new liner. There are obvious places where they took stuff out compared to my 2018 Golf SE. And some of the plastic trim is laughable and I have some of the worst rattles already in this car. Its still fun and I'll work through them. Today I installed the harmonic balancer and installed dynamic LED mirror signals which is fun.

x2. Want to know as well.When you added the spare tire wheel well liner, did you keep the black rectangular sound absorbers (marked VW 5GM 863 591) in place around the inner perimeter of the wheel well?
