What did you do to your mk7 today?

They are pretty awesome and the blue tint cuts the glare down a lot. I wish you could get the rear view with the anti glare. It well worth the money.

Tint your rear window. Problem solved.

Put on a steering wheel cover I got off AliExpress. It was a pain to get on but it has a very good build quality. I thought about one of those wrap kits but wanted something I could put on and off easier.

First proper detail done by me. Car looks so good I got the "I can't believe I get to drive this around" feeling. I order from the factory, but it was a rainy week and I've been busy. About to it 5k miles and hadn't ever had the car up to snuff.

For those with leather, I recommend optimums leather protectant spray to clean the seats.

I think I found the right regimen for cleaning his as a daily driver (i.e. Not gonna be polishing it weekly and it's going to get dirty).

optimum no rinse pre soak (get a pump sprayer for 10 bucks on Amazon)
Optimum no rinse to clean the car
Optimum instant detailed (spray on polish)
Optimum spray wax

The car looks freaking amazing and I didn't even need to get an orbital out. If I can get a month out of the wax (claims 5 months but I call BS) this'll be my go to.

ALSO,

Played with tire pressures. Set fronts at 39 and rears at 37. Car feels much better in stock away bar form. Good free mod.

Got the alcantara steering wheel cover for my GTI off of aliexpress! Should receive it by the end of this week... Always liked the feel of that material

Another option, if a little steep.

What I'd really like are power folding AND auto dimming mirrors like they have on some of the Audi models. I don't know if anything in the MQB family comes with those in the factory...

But if they exist and they will fit... I will find them, and I will install them.

They come standard on the GTI in Ireland, so shouldn't be difficult for you to find.

I just installed that one on my car. Love it. Took me 5 hours to install though.
