    *Bought new car, please delete*

    Well I unexpectedly ended up buying a brand new 2023 GTI 40th anniversary edition a couple weeks ago. So I will not be needing any new wheels at the moment, but thank you!

    18” stock GTI wheels

    Hey guys, selling my stock 18” GTI wheels. Came off my 2018 GTI at about 28K. They are in excellent condition w/ no curb rash. Couple little scratches but from 5 ft away can’t even see them. One tire loses air (holds for a couple days) otherwise tires are pretty good condition. Local pick up...

    I did a dumb thing : /

    So I hit a pretty nasty pothole in my MK7.5 GTI on my way to work a few weeks ago. It was bad enough to bend the drivers side wheel, and so I had my local shop rotate it to the right rear until I could get a replacement for it. A week or so later I actually found a complete set of Dallas...

    Where to buy 19" Pretorias?

    Hey guys, So as the title states I am wondering where (if there is) a good place to get a set of Pretorias. I'm ok if they are not genuine VW replicas. I just really like the look of them, especially in gunmetal, for my reflex silver GTI. I found some here but it's a foreign site (for me...

    GTI Key Fob case ideas?

    Hey guys.. I was wondering if any of you knew of any cases / covers that fit the GTI (not the golf) key fob. I bought a couple off eBay that fit my fiancés mk7 golf fine but not mine as the GTI key fob has the longer silver piece at the bottom. Here's the covers I bought.. As I stated it...

    CarPlay not working..

    So I bought my '16 GTI (base model) in January of last year. One of the things I was excited about coming from an mk6 was the CarPlay feature. My fiancé had it on her new golf and it seemed to work pretty well. It worked fine for about 2 or 3 months and then would occasionally not recognize my...

    Rogue screw hit my car [emoji35]

    Alright so I get out of my car today, look back at it as I'm waking away and notice there's a F'ING 5 inch galvanized screw lodged in the front bumper. I immediately pulled it out and hummed it across the parking lot into the bushes while saying some choice expletives. It left a couple...

    Question about 19" wheels

    Hey everyone.. I am currently in the market for a new set of wheels. I really, really like the look of the 19" Glendales I have seen on a few mk7's My question is if I do get them, can I just mount tires on them and put them on? Or is there anything additional I'd need to do as they are...

    Guys.. I have decided to try & take care of the rear suspension noise im experiencing by my own means as I don't trust the dealership to fix it properly. So, I need to order a pair of Bilstein B4 OEM replacement shocks to replace the faulty ones that came on the GTI. Does anyone know where to...

    Clear bra installers New England area?

    Hey guys.. so I just picked up my '16 GTI S a couple weeks ago and was thinking of getting a clear bra put on it. I was wondering what people's experiences / opinions of them are? To me it seems like a good option for some added protection that doesn't really affect the look of the car. The few...

    Would you let others drive your car?

    I'm very particular about who I let drive my car. I will let most any of my immediate family drive it as they all know how to drive stick (even my mom, she had a stick shift rabbit back in the 80's). In fact both my sisters have standard Honda fits. As for anyone else maybe a few close friends...

    Powl: Anyone, what phone should I get?

    Aside from a faulty power on / off switch on my iPhone 5, I have never had one single issue with my 4, 5 and now iPhone 6. I loved my iPhone 4 but as other manufacturers started coming out with bigger screens I wanted to go bigger as well. As an avid iPhone fan though I waited, and waited.. and...

    Subject myself to a long commute?

    For me personally, time spent commuting is wasted time you could be spending doing other things like going to the gym, relaxing, hanging out with family / friends. And the reality is while living close to friends is nice, once you really start working 40-50 + hrs a week your going to find you...
