Going to take the opportunity to record OEM+ updates to my 2015 MK7. I'm not that much of a car guy but I hope to learn a lot through the process. Thanks in advance for anyone who follows along
TLDR Part List;

- 02/02/2019 - After my 2009 City Golf (MKIV) was written off in an accident, I used the cheque to put a down payment on a used 2015 2-Door Autobahn GTI (DSG) with 146,000km. I decided to go with high mileage due to affordability and a 1-owner record with an extremely detailed service history through one VW dealership. It was the only 2-door in the province I could find at the time. Purchased the car for $16,000 CAD out the door.
