What did you do to your mk7 today?

[golface]

The switch is pretty easy, I paid around $30 shipped and they seem to be Euro/Asian oem; at least they look and feel exactly like the ones my dealer sells for around 4 times as much.

- Footrest:
Pull the old one to the side and up, it'll pop out, then pull on the bottom of the side panel trim and stick your fingers in, you'll feel 2 tabs, push those and the whole thing comes off; slide the long tabs on the bottom of the new footrest to the slots on the floor then slip the edge of the other side under the side trim while you pull the trim out and lastly push the side trim back bending the bottom edge inward until it hops over the small ridge on the footrest.

- Brake:
Pull old one off from either side, push the new one in, done.

- Accelerator:
Be patient with this one, you need to slide it on top of the old one starting from the bottom; make sure all the edges of the new pedal are wrapped over the edges of the old one, bit tricky but not difficult once you get the hang of it.

You don't happen to have a pic of the old ones do you? I have the sport pedals from the previous owner of mine and really don't like how dirty they get. Thinking about switching mine out.

Wait...the GTI doesn't come with sport pedals? What makes these different? I'm gonna have to look at mine after work now...

Not on me, but my stock pedals weren't sport, just the regular all black plastic ones.

thanks for the details. I gotta get a set. Do you have a link where you bought the pedals?

So you leave the accel pedal on and new one over it, but for brake you remove old and install new? Weird [emoji6] I've heard that accel pedal is a pain..

Yesterday I put on S2T paddles. Was on the fence before but decided to do it anyway. Paddles should have been this size from the factory. If I were S2T I'd considering selling plastic ones that are less expensive because that would be a much easier sell.

Also made my back badge white

Did you get a new badge or use inlays? Also, are those cherry tails or bright red?

The vinyl was only $20, and I felt like it would be a cool little project. I wanna vinyl wrap the roof black next so it was a good experience.

I tried wrapping my roof. It's not an easy as you would think. Removing the antenna is very hard to do.

No it's not. Drop the headliner and unbolt it. It's time consuming, but it's not hard.

Yep, it's weird alright but the stock accel pedal seems to be molded to the metal or something 'cuz I couldn't get it off.

Afterwards I did some research and found others doing the same thing (e.g. agentphish) so I left it as is and haven't had any issues with it moving or sliding off, you just have to make sure it's on properly, once you think you have it wiggle it to check, it should be on pretty tight with no give either up/down or sideways.

I got mine here,
