Installed ATE Circle slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads. I'm super happy with the decision.

What did you do to your mk7 today?

Removed my DV spacer from Ramon ^ and my 034 Res-X and installed the OEM bits as normal. This was at the request of the dealership so they could continue diagnosing my interior noises. Low and behold, like I told them, the noises and other issues are still present. So I contacted the dealership and VWoA (to update my issues with my reference number from my last visit).
I wish my car didn't have all these terrible noises. I guess it was a siesta build at Pueblo. I bought the car because it was a one year only unicorn for the USA, and if they can't fix the issues and have to do a buy back I will be devastated. I don't want a MK7.5. I want my MK7 Sport. Fuck.
There is some plastic trim you can touch or knock on that causes some crazy rattles and noises. It's pretty ridiculous. Sounds like a 14 year old Asian vehicle instead of a 1 year old German vehicle.... or my 20 year old German vehicle that was modded to be a rattle box and super noisy.

No. Lighting package headlights can't use reps.

I recommend them more than most others....I have tried most grooved discs in the past...
Only reason I have grooved is because of grit/stones on the road...you need a cleaning/clearing groove...otherwise stones get in the pads...

Found this $2.79 Chinese positive battery terminal cover on aliexpress. Fits like OEM (and should have been OEM):

Bought another one.
Debating getting silly with this one, or keeping it stock.

I do have another MK7, I picked up a 2017 Golf Sportwagen 4 Motion, DSG with 9700 miles on it for 19.5k out the door.
My 2005 TDI finally started to show its age at 174k miles, I needed a new daily because the TDI was not going to make it through the summer.
Honestly no idea what I'm doing right now, I have a bagged Subaru in my garage, I did get an offer for it but airing out on people is still too much fun.
