What did you do to your mk7 today?

[averyislost]

I have my fogs and headlights on 24/7

Charlotte area drivers are the absolute worst so they need all the help they can get to notice the white Mk7 coming in hot lol

Preach man, absolute nightmare drivers here

So stupid question. I've got the fogs in the bumper and the battery tray out. I'm attempting to figure out the best path to run the wiring harness. If you bought yours premade, where did you ground it? I bought mine off carsystems.eu and the length of the ground isn't long enough to reach the earth lug behind the battery.

I used the one behind the battery and it was just barely long enough to reach both fog lights. Like no slack at all.

These grounds are right below/aft of the headlights. I think that's where the fog harnesses get grounded.

Thank you both. After inspecting the car I noticed the black plastic circle ground cover by the coolant reservoir had a brown ground wire. So i gambled the black one behind the wiper fluid reservoir was also a ground.

Putting everything back together now for a test.

H&R Sport springs installed together with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers. Some might find this too low but to me it looks perfect. The car has DSG and the drop is very even front to back. Not much difference in ride quality unless on rough roads and RR tracks. If you live in an area with lots of pot holes then definitely get a milder drop. I can only say that I FEEL the turn-in to be sharper and flatter around a corner. But it's nothing scientific as I don't have a way to measure it.

Providing some pictures so someone else can compare the drop to other brands.View attachment 187699View attachment 187700

Did the same to mine, looks great!

Finally got my front fogs wires up and coded. Ran the trigger wire so my rear fog works now. Swapped in LEDs in the front, they even do tricks.

Now I just need my headlights to show up.

Clubsport S RSB [5Q0511305BA] installed. Generally I'm not a fan of increased RSB-rates because I don't like pronounced head toss and road copying. But I couldn't pass on the ebay.de "re-moved from brand new car"-offer for 49.99EUR shipped to at least give it a chance. I have to say I'm really impressed. The rear axle feels less nervous and more alive now. Couldn't find more road copying then before.

Those look good, contrast is nice. One of my neighbors has those on his Q5 and I've thought they'd look good on our cars. Are they 57.1 center bore or did you need hub rings? I'm pretty sure our B9 Q5 is on 66.6 cb, but I honestly don't know what the B8 used.

66.6, the guy I got them from had them on a mk6 R and already had rings in them

Great weather for some detailing:
Wash
Clay
Collonite 845
Hydro silex’d the wheels

Tried out this ONR stuff and the sealer they make. Pretty good results for a 20 min wash and “wax”. Shiny purty.

Looks good. Which intercooler is that?
