What did you do to your mk7 today?

I'm not a personal fan of winglets on these cars in general - but from a business move, they do seem to sell - so i think they do have a good height and front angle to flow with the door.

Been working on some new cosmetic stuffs. Weather has been bad the last few days, today was the first nice day to shoot some pics.

Not sure if I like the side winglets design. Tried to go for a more “stealth” look rather than some gaudy condor wings. I’m interested to hear some opinions.
(The side winglets are an add on part, the skirt extensions are standalone).

I like the concept, but I think they're a little to straight and angled. Needs a little more curve IMO. If you can sort of match the lines here, that would be pretty slick:

Coincidentally, ordered this...

I was thinking the same thing. But at least wanted to see how it did look with a straight design.

Also, thank you for the order!

Coming up on 40k, and lucked out with a relatively nice day so I pulled the plugs. Considering last couple months jb4’d and what not, I thought they looked pretty good.

Planning on some bolt ons and stage 2 sooner than later so I decided to be a rebel and go w oem rs7 plugs now through fcp. Idle is smooth as butter and pulls hard right to redline.

Thought at first this was going to be a battle with those stupid connectors on the coil packs. But once I got past that, and realizing that my spark plug socket was too short…it was easy breezy cover girl.

Installed new Morimoto D3S bulbs for my LP. I did not remove the entire front bumper; I used this tool to get that one screw holding the headlight to the fender. You can kinda see the screw in this photo. Driver side.

Also found a lot of jizz on the passenger side of my radiator. Time for a new one?

Some unexpected house expenses have come up, so I think I'll be parting out my GTI soon. Let me know if you want an air ride setup, power mirrors, euro tails, helix subwoofer, raceseng shift knob, rotiform RSEs, AWE cat-back, etc. etc.

Found a small tear in one dust seal on my caliper…boo. Also the powder coating these recently received made some of the tolerances quite tight and they coated it with all the screws/bolts still in so everything was somewhat seized. Ordering some rebuild parts.

My experience on dust covers and tracking is that the covers crack and disappear fairly quickly. Racing calipers often don't even come with them.

absolutely sucks, but I’ve been there before.

Sorry to hear that, man.

I probably wouldn't go this route, but since I'm already considering trading it in anyways, this just kind of makes sense.

Sad day. Cut the turn too close in an unfamiliar parking garage.

Been there. Sucks.

I guess this makes your decision about getting your wheels refinished easier..

The good news is Neuspeed sells touch up.

I did the same thing to one of my sets of wheels. Made me cry.

Did the same thing the very day I picked up my car. The wheels were already sold because I had new lightweight Motegi wheels waiting for me. Cost me $100 off the trade in price.

Sucks Matt, but This. Makes that decision for you
