What did you do to your mk7 today?

Just installed the new engine cover I got on eBay... That's gotta be good for 5hp right? Lol

Dude, stickers are worth 5hp. That can't even be considered a direct bolt on. That's a custom component. It must be worth at least 15hp, across the entire rev range. Just imagine the EGT savings, too! Clearly needs more carbon fibreness though.

Where does the oil go?

Words can not express how deeply I approve of her clearly well practiced lubricant application technique.

That one's marriage material, boys.

LOL! You're right not nearly enough carbon fiber for the MK7 scene but it does have that nice sleeper styling.

100% agree, I'm thinking at the very least doing the VW logo silver and TSI in red - maybe some tasteful red pin striping. Not 100% on that... but you're right it needs something. Maybe do the strip in the middle red a leave the TSI black for contrast.

I also thought the Tiguan engine cover needed a bit of color so I put some Badgeskins on mine. I think it looks good

Not bad, gives me at least a good idea on a simple mod I can do to it.

Got the previous owner’s gunk and sun fade off the steering wheel and DGI shift with Meguiar’s leather conditioner. Was more of a mess than I thought.

Only issue is I now have a few white dots in the leather at 12, 4 and 7 o’clock on the wheel. Open to suggestions if anyone knows how to get rid of them. They are small, but visible.

Helix upgrade (on sale for total of about $325 after shipping/rebate) Made a worthwhile improvement in sound for a reasonable amount. Took me about 4 hrs and only messed up one clip = success!


and I'm up soon for dongle

Nice deal. Where did you find that?
