What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Clem604]

Nice. Looks like Nardo Gray. What is that?

Thanks, it's wrapped in gloss Nardo Grey by Inozetek.

wow, nice winter setup lol.Are those RSE-05’s? 17x8? I am thinking about those for my Alltracks summer wheels

Thanks! Yes those are 17x8 RSE05's. They make a great lightweight setup (17lbs) and they clear my TT-S calipers without spacers.

Got my rear look finished. A helpful forum member helped me realize I could get the AKD led tails to fit much better than I had first thought. Just working on some coding.

+1 on the reflector deletes. Also are those tail LEDs Orange or was your left indicator on? They look nice either way.

That looks great. Are the tails grey when not illuminated? Can you take pictures with them off too? This is all I could find about them on google.

Yeah, looks like he got the "smoked" version. Curious to see a few more pictures of them with the lights off as well.

WOW

(Seriously though, tight work )

 

[IanCH]

Thanks uberdot! I can truly appreciate the car now.

The color of the LEDs is definitely red in person, chalk it up to poor white balance from my phone.

I will grab some pictures with the lights off tomorrow. They look good off, not just black.

I bought the smoke because I figured I couldn't lose, if they were great then I had the look I wanted. If they sucked then I would get the oem eu tails instead of the AKD

How's the diffuser install? Straight fit?

Also, I noticed that's the replica Oettinger. How was the fitment on yours?

Diffuser is plug and play if you get kit from ecs with the little blocks. I have the blackout plates as well but I have decided if I want to install or not. They don't seem necessary.

This is a genuine oettinger spoiler, purchased from the dealer and painted by one of the top autobodies in the boston area. I considered the knock off ones momentarily but didnt think I could get away without paint and the unpainted oettinger was only like $450 shipped.

How hard was the install? That diffuser looks awesome.
