You know, I'd say "This one is it! This'll be the one!", but I know nobody will believe me anyway.

That's what I keep saying about these holes I'm always finding in my tires.

I got another nail/screw/something in my back right tire again. For anyone that isn't keeping track...that's the 4th one this year. All of them in the back right tire.

What are you most excited for?

What are you most excited for?

Being able to leave this shithole forum and all the suckers on it behind and going to www.golfmk8.com. That forum looks like it has a classy OT section...

Really, the tech. The tech is leaps and bounds ahead of the 7/7.5. And since I'm a big tech guy, that is pretty high up their for me. The HUD projected on the windshield. The expanded infotainment. Wireless AA by default. Cooled seats, heated steering wheel.

It sounds much better too.

Also, Nurburgring mode will be infinitely more useful than any of the modes on my 7.5 if I drive my car to Germany.

Heated wheel would be a game changer tbh

Assuming the Oettinger spoiler won't fit on the GTI hatch, or am I wrong? Interested if so.

It will. I had it on my GTI.

The spoiler itself is perfectly fine. No chips or cracks in the actual spoiler. The paint however... It isn't bad and is acceptable, but it has a few marks in it that's been touched up if you look at it closely. It's been on 4 cars. To be perfect, it really could use a sand and re-spray. But it is in good enough condition to throw on a car as-is if you wanted. You'd just have to peel off the existing 3M tape and put new tape on.

Shoot me a PM with what you're thinking for cost, is it the real deal or the aliboy special?

Real deal, straight from a dealer.

Pic from Friday when we worked out the deal. Didn't say anything until today when the financing came in, just in case. Premature celebration and all.

Easiest dealer purchase ever. Said "CarMax will buy it for $28k, so I plan on just selling it to them. I know I'll get the tax deduction if I trade it in, so if you want it as a trade, my price is $27k."

Kid just goes "I want this on our lot. I'll get you the $27k."

And he did. Told him I'd put it back mostly stock, said as long as it had 4 wheels and all the body panels, I could take off whatever I wanted. Spent the weekend doing that.

If anybody wants anything:
Cobb Downpipe - Pending for my buddies S3.
Cobb Accessport w/ DSG - Salami has first dibs.
Monica (R600 intake with DFG tip & tube) - Up for grabs.
Power Folding Mirrors with BSM - Messrock has first dibs.
Oettinger Twin Bridge Spoiler (Painted Gloss Black, in decent-ish condition) - Up for grabs.
Helix Euro LED tails w/ harness & Zero815 7 to 7.5 harness - DFTD has first dibs.
ECS Gloss Black Rear Diffuser - Up for grabs.

A bunch of stuff still went with it. Was too lazy to take off the RSB and FMIC. So they'll go. The 9.2" screen and hacked MIB2.5 are included, as I sold my 8" screen. Will probably toss the stock MIB2 unit in the hatch. Steering wheel, same. Sold the OEM one. Bremfauxs, sold OEM brakes. Homelink Mirror, was too lazy to take off.

APR Throttle Booster (getting that off was the hardest thing I did, harder than the fucking downpipe), ECS Rear Wiper Delete, and my dashcam will all be transferred over.

If Salami doesn't want the AP, let me know?

Any chance you found a set of 4 wheels in the mk8?

There's a set of ugly silver mirror caps if you want those...
