What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Will_]

Track setup mounted. 18x9 ET 45 with 255/35/18. No rubbing so far (but have barely driven it). In the sunlight the gunmetal shines nicely and is more of a dark silver.

Unfortunately, I left the cargo cover for the rear hatch under my storage unit overnight (wouldn’t fit with the wheels/tires in car) and someone stole it! My neighbors leave stuff out and it’s all hidden from the street so I didn’t worry, but live and learn. Just such a weird thing for someone to steal.

My buddy just did this to his 2017 Gti whatcha guys think.

I think it looks busy, too much pattern. But maybe it's just the light/flash catching all of the shades of gray/silver. Also, it's just my opinion which doesn't matter if your friend likes it. It's their car so... if they like it I love it!

Edit: they're ≠ their

Lol agreed I told him it’s too busy

Finally washed it after weeks of snow and salt.

Funny (not actually) story. While driving to work a couple weeks ago I ended up stuck behind a salt truck. The truck wasn't actively spraying salt onto the road, but it crushed a pot hole, the truck bounced, and a shit ton of salt bounced out of the back of the truck. It all hit the front of my car. I didn't think much of it until I washed it, but now there's a ton of little tiny dings and chips all over my hood, bumper, and headlights.

Thankfully my comprehensive deductible is only $100 I guess.

You might want to hyphenate that. Like "Pen-Island".

Yeah, now that it’s been pointed out that’s all anyone will see lol

Thanks! I love them, they feel so much better than the non-pp brakes. They are certainly overkill for most of my driving, but I found the limits of the stock brakes once before and had to keep that limit in mind even on our BOTD trip. Could I haven gotten away with pads and fluid? Sure...but this solves that issue with headroom to spare for when this car is eventually (5-7 years) retired from DD duties!

Yeah the advice for good pads with my pp brakes is good enough for sure.....never experienced fade on our drive, so I guess I'll keep with just pads. Now if I find random $800 laying around.......maybe lol

Not my style. Looks like someone blew a load all over the interior.
