What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

I got one of those metal coolant adapters because why not and a vent mount for my APView attachment 259485

Be prepared to lose a quart of coolant doing that job.

Baun Performance 4" DP. Thanks @GTI Jake!

It got a little bruised thanks to FedEx using my box as a piñata. Apparently they tried delivering to the wrong house three different times. Killing me...
This is after I re-wrapped the pipes to put in the garage for now.

I managed to strike a deal with VW Motorsports technical director Andreas Lautner on a test set of gen 3 Cupra Competicion/gen 2 RS3 TCR LMS KW Competition 4way solid piston aluminum body coil overs that have been down graded to a 2way to conform to TCR homologation.

These purchased new from KW start at $12,000 and go up to $20,000 if car is dialed on there 4post rig

Currently at KW Motorsport to have them converted back too a 4way, re-valved add the correct eye ends/shims,springs and upper mounts ect to install into my R.

For when the hood and fenders go on, something to polish up my neglected reflex silver paint.

That's a nice chunk of money right there. The DA Coarse is not that great to be honest. You can go from the yellow wool straight to the yellow foam and hit the right spot on silver paint. If you ever get a smaller polisher (3" or the nano) use their white pads to finish the piano black trim on the doors.

Their pads are great (minus the blue foam), their polishes are ok... once you run out look into Sonax and Menzerna. If you don't want to tape the trim, The Last Cut, and Optimum Hyper Polish and Hyper Compound are my to-go options.

You know the best time to swap that adapter?

When you're doing a turbo swap, just sayin'

Funny you mention that. A few weeks ago I asked the wife if I could get a new turbo as a combo Christmas/Anniversary/B-Day/V-Day gift and she said sure. So that will eventually be a thing.

Personally, I've found it easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission

Will she change her mind before Black Friday?

Doubtful. She's usually pretty cool about letting me entertain my hobbies.

Mishimoto Intercooler. He's a biiiig dude, at almost 31 lbs. I also received their upgraded piping kit, but I can't use it due to my 7-speed DSG.

Forgot to take a pic of the intercooler, but here's one of the kit:
