S3 steering rack color

Hi Gents,

Is the rack painted black as OE or bare aluminum? Mine was painted black, but is this original?

I have only ever seen them painted gloss black from new, and I have a new old stock one. That isn't to say that the odd one did not slip out nude.

Hi Phillip,
My rack was old and knackered so it may well have been original. That was black. The replacement from Paul Matty is also black.
