What did you do to your mk7 today?

[El_bigote_AJ]

beaides the lack of LED headlights...

Yeah for 2020/2021 you have to get the premium rline for them to be on the car - so from $33,500 to $44,500…

After driving my car with the LED heads for the last 3 years, just the 20 min I was behind this wheel, I think I said out loud 5-6 times how much I hated the view and color I was seeing

We do an annual night autocross every August. First year I did it was 2015 in my Miata with halogen headlights. It was like driving by braille.

The GTI with LED lights up the course like it's daytime.

We do 3 runs in afternoon, 3 runs at night and add the best from day and night. Those with crappy headlights will be a second or 2 slower at night.

Finally got around to putting this together, also test fit my old Audi wheels on it.

I just ranted about how good these lights are in my running review thread, and came here to see this.

In Scotland at the moment and found my twin! (/inspiration). The blue plaid interior is killer, wish we got that here.

Also wish we got this very nice shade of red, would love this on a GTI to R.

Seen several MK8 regular Golfs in person as well. No MK8 GTIs yet but keeping an eye out. So many cool cars here we don’t get. The Scirocco Rs are the best! Would love to own one.

Just tease us about the blue plaid.

How's this?

I've repeatedly toyed with the idea of having my R seats done in the blue plaid (can buy rolls of it on eBay) but I worry it'll end up looking that bunched-up 90s minitruck aftermarket upholstery way.

Those are really nice. Thank you.

The problem ends up being that VW doesn't sell all the covers together. Or at least I could never find a part number that includes all of the covers. Plus their color descriptions are always terrible and change year to year even when the pattern doesn't. Matching up the foam part numbers isn't that bad so you can figure out which seats are the same shape... and there aren't that many shapes anyway. But the covers, uggghh.

When I got the seats for my car I just imported a full set, found them on eBay (.de I think) and messaged the seller. Seller was in the Netherlands and they shipped them FedEx in a crate, bolted down and without airbags of course. Arranged everything via WhatsApp, Netherlands to Los Angeles in less than a week, delivered to a business address.

I can barely do it in the day. Can't imagine at night.
