What did you do to your mk7 today?

Scratch that.

I had removed the rubber plug that allows access through the firewall, down behind the brake pedal, to install the boost gauge tubing. I left it on the floor. Guess what's not there anymore

Tell 'em.

Yeah you should just do the full roof in black. It looks so damn good.

I was thinking of doing the roof, but I feel a lot of white cars do that already. Haha I know if I had a sunroof I would black out the rest of the roof

Speaking of that did you get it hooked up? I was ripping across the smokies in my gti the other day when you were texting me so the wife was texting for me lol

This weekend I converted a MIB2 unit to MIB2.5
So now, by keeping the same glovebox unit, it works with the facelift 9.2" screen

Worked on my splitter over the weekend. Fabricated the rear mounting brackets and turned my cardboard splitter template into a plywood template. Next steps will be to fabricate the front mounting hardware and then cut the splitter it out of HDPE.

Installed some stripes the other day. I think I’m gonna keep them on for awhile. Was thinking of doing the roof, but don’t think it would look that good. [emoji28]

What'd you use for the stripes?

Subscribed. I want to see end product. Keep template on hand [emoji6]

Looks great! But, I'm not sure i would do the roof. Maybe color it with photo shop first to see how it looks, then decide.

Look at other pictures of white Golfs. Tons of people do it. It looks awesome. Like a Mercedes.

+1. OP, is it a front or rear splitter? Mind sharing where you got the HDPE and how much it cost? Reason for making your own?

It is a front splitter. I have an R400 kit on my GTI and during the last big snow storm in my area the splitter that came with the kit broke into multiple pieces. Rather than replace the broken splitter with another flimsy fiberglass one I opted to make my own out a material that will survive use on a daily driver.

I sourced the HDPE from Menards and it was around $115 for a single 4x8 sheet. I have about another $40-$50 in hardware for making the mounting brackets.

I have been taking pictures as things have progressed, however the process has been much slower than I would have liked. When it is all done I can post up some pictures.

Intercooler and Stage-3

Not today, but I finally did my Intercooler last weekend. Went with AMS from the Cobb website. Now I'm finally stage-3. Completed a long-term goal i've had since Feb '18.

Thanks for the info, and a DIY/pics thread would be much appreciated when you're finished. I've thought about doing the same thing, just for not wanting to spend $$$ on a flimsy piece of plastic. I have the tools to mill HDPE but have never used it before, so any pics on how you built yours would be super awesome!

Installed my Helix soundbox last night. Found a spot for the included decal:

Oh man, you missed a couple of screws right there at the radiator support assembly!


KIDDING!!!! Looks great and perfect timing, specially with these hot temperatures we are getting in GA.

Congrats on the goal achieved!
