Went under my Golf-R to retorque the clamps on my Borla exhaust since I took it off last weekend to paint the tips black, also touched up on exposed steel parts with Fluid Film since I was under there anyway. Also touched up the front areas too.

Finally got my roof wrapped. Bought the wrap on Black Friday when Klii had their sale. Absolutely love how it looks. Also installed a Racingline air filter to replace the stocker.

You’re not wrong. I’ve gotta cool it with car spending for a bit though, gone a bit nuts lately.

Hey all, new GTI owner here 
I did a few things to my Mk7 over the past few days:
- Bought from the dealer and brought it home!
- Day 1: full tint, Llumar 80 on windshield, Wincos 30 on front and 20 on the rest (better heat rejection than Llumar for our TX summers!)
- Day 2: clutch assist spring removal, made a noticeable improvement to engagement point feel - about 2min with a pair of pliers and well worth it!

Reach was great, even at 9 & 3 position. The lower portion wasn't ideal IMO, but figured out you need to pull them towards the "top" of the steering wheel (so down and into the center if the wheel is upside down) and the feedback from the bottom wasn't great.
I thought they were going to be a darker blue from the pics on the web site, so I pulled them and am returning them and getting some Royal Blue paddles from Mode (check out my first post on the build thread for a link if you're interested).
Other than not being the color I wanted, I thought they were solid.

I am getting the same exact hood as that guy and am wondering myself on how to protect it... hopefully this wasn't already asked and answered, but what is the best way to UV protect a CF hood??

When you say Llumar 80 on the windshield are you just talking about a strip across the top?

Cleaned my driver seat. Still needs a deeper and more proper job but it’ll do for now.

Probably the whole windshield like what others do with that tint level

Yessir, full windshield. Mostly for the heat rejection but less glare and a slightly more custom look as well.
