Soo finally have an update to the car.
On March 19th I was in a small accident. It was partially caused by the heel/toe pedal I added earlier. My foot slid off the gas and got caught between the gas/brake. By the time my foot was free it was too late and I understeered right into a curb. I have since removed that terrible pedal lol.
It did some damage to my car, damaged the passenger side suspension axle, fender, and bumper.
. So since I needed to get a new bumper any ways, I asked the body shop to install a Golf R bumper instead... This is where things went down hill. They ended up ordering the wrong bumper (MK7.5 bumper), scratched and cracked one of my headlights (and refused to pay for the head light, AND wanted me to pay for the wrong bumper+labour), and also months of delays.
After months of it being in the bodyshop for a very minor job, I finally got my car back today! Still not perfect though. AC doesn't work
, headlights were wired wrong
, some paint chips on the brand new bumper
, interior was dirty, and mouldy smelling (I think they left my window open)
, missing screws on my fender liner
....
Any ways going back tomorrow.
But I'm just happy I have my car back.
Here it is as of right now.
for the front plate I decided to not drill the bumper and went with an RHO-Plate V2.
Overall not a great experience. But It does look great. I think I need the R side skirts now
