Glad to see your back in the game man, I think it was after you got rid of the mk6 you stopped going to the Thursday night Ale house meets either in laudy or boca. I moved into a mk7R from my mk6 gti back in march, so you'll love it over the golf or a3!

Thanks, dude! I still went to the meets in my a3 all the time! haha that Boca meet kinda died and I stopped going. But I went to the Tuesday meets in Ft Lauderdale a lot. And now there are no meets except the SFLmk7 meet every once a month. :(

Yeah it died off, i used to go to the sonic meets in WPB and did more of the WPB scene after the other meets died. Been in Wisconsin for almost 5 years now and there are 0 meets unless i drive down to Chicago. The scene here blows, only thing is that goes on is civics street drag racing on friday nights.

My aFe Dry FLOW filter came in today. Drove around and did a few errands, didn't really notice a HUGE difference but there were slightly more "intake swooshes" - which is always a plus! :)

I just took my aFe out and installed a VWR filter. I don't feel too much difference as of yet, but I am going to drive it around for a bit. I think the aFe may have sounded a bit better. Going to hit the road this evening and test it out a bit

Installed the last piece of the puzzle to be completely LED interior wise... the glove box. I don't know why all the stock lights except the trunk and glove box came as LED from the factory... :confused:

I had to touch up my bumper... I have 2.5k miles on my car and my paint was already peeling... if the problem persists I will bring it to the dealer. I didn't want to bring it in just yet because my paint is in pretty mint condition. No swirl marks. So I didn't want to risk the chance of a shitty repair job/overspray. Overall I think it came out okay. It's not 100% perfect but I would say 80%. I also added a rubber washer from home depot to try open the gap in between the bumper and fender.





Here's a better shot after I wet sanded it and polished it out

Nice car and congrats on the engagement! I was in a similar boat - daily driving the project car after purchasing a house late last year and planning a wedding earlier this year.

I like the subtle interior changes you've made and also ponder the purpose of VW leaving the 2 or 3 non-LED bulbs. Drives my OCD nuts.

So much for the "bumper repair" I did.

I got into an accident two days ago and my airbag deployed. The guy in front of me suddenly came to a complete stop and I ran right into him. I am very thankful that I made it out of the accident with just a few burns/scratches on my arm and I wasn't seriously injured. My car is being looked at today and they will determine the costs of the damages. At a quick glance, it doesn't look too serious on the outside but you never know when you open things up. Thank you, Volkswagen for making such a safe/sturdy vehicle!

NOTABLE DAMAGE:

Bumper - scratched and dinged
Broken Passenger Headlight (adjuster said this is the reason why my airbag deployed, there is a sensor on the headlight and I made a direct hit)
Hood miss aligned
Hood latch broken
Grill pushed in
One headlight seems to be popping out of place
Airbag & airbag sensors
