Buddy: 1) nobody cares; 2) lighten up; 3) stop being so defensive. This is a pretty tight knit community of largely positive folks helping each other out with absolutely no reason to other than we’re all fond of the same car. Not sure where your insecurity comes from that you’re bent out of shape over what a bunch of strangers think about your car, but YOU walked in HERE and posted a bunch of photos of your mid Golf. If you don’t like the response, log off and find some inner peace. If you can’t do that without external validation, idk what to tell you.
All that being said (and I hate to feed a troll but dammit I just can’t resist): it might be a factory color, but your rear bumper has obviously been repainted, and not especially well. It’s not a coincidence or reflection or HDR that the paint mismatch occurs exactly along the c-pillar line. If you’ve never noticed this before, hate to be the one to break it to you.
