What did you do to your mk7 today?

Toyed with a Mustang GT 5.0 ��

Found my first stone chip !!!!!!!!
Still after 6 months and 5000 miles I suppose I have been lucky so far.
Managed to catch a wheel on a broken drain cover and collect two bad chips on my last new car within 2 weeks of collecting it.
I guess from the day you collect it you are just on a journey to your first stone chip.

Cheers,

Terry

LED Tails! Huge shoutout to Deutsche. Their harness worked perfectly and is really well made, and their shipping was crazy fast. Took my time with the install and ended up taking about 4 hours from start to finish. Now that I know what to do, I could probably do it in 2 1/2 or so. Highly recommend their harness though - the end result is stunning.

Adam,

Looking good.

Are those the tinted or cherry tails?

 

[AdamSheikh]

looks awesome man! Glad you finally got them done. Doing suspension anytime soon?

My wallet still hates me for my wheels and tires, let alone these tails lol. But who knows what the future holds?

Adam,

Looking good.

Thanks! These are are the European Cherry ones. Slightly tinted around the edges unlike the Asian OEM ones.

Installed vwr springs, tried installing spacers but didn't work out for the 20mm on rear as lug nuts hasnt exceeded enough to get mounted, im either thinking on longer lug nuts or sell em and get extended lug spacers

Looks nice, how is the difference in comfort ? I'm really thinking about doing this but the GTI is very comfortable as it is now I wonder if is going to be too harsh. Thanks in advance

Nailed a huge pothole. Completely blew out my passenger side front tire. Huge gash in the tread. Heard a loud bang when I hit it. Such a sad day. Luckily no damage was done to my rim. The stock Austins are tough. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow to have them lift it and inspect the underbody, as well as replace the tire. Driving a new GTI on a doughnut is depressing.

On a glass smooth road, you can't tell a difference. The suspension is stiffer when you go over road imperfections, but not like sitting on a rock. You feel more connected to the road, it isn't a huge difference vs stock suspension in terms of comfort.

After refusing to clean it since October, I gave it the full treatment yesterday and some B road country hooning today!

That's why I wrapped it right after I got it! Nice to know it's virgin paint underneath!

Thanks, I'm always afraid of doing this lol, last car I lowered on H&R springs was not good at all specially in pothole city.

Installed Ed's Reps this weekend- very pleased w results! Used clear Lamin-x on top of them as well.

Now to decide on a grill...

Purchased a spoiler and the euro light switch, which btw is on sale at parts4euro.

So I may have just spent 600 just to have my very own car place in my official ricer spotted thread. I think it will be ok though, just have to wait and see.

I tucked it in with the wrong jammies
