What did you do to your mk7 today?

[GTI Jake]

Sad day. Cut the turn too close in an unfamiliar parking garage.

It happens, Neuspeed offers a discount replacement program.

Now you’ve got a full size spare, lemons/lemonade

Also found a lot of jizz on the passenger side of my radiator. Time for a new one?

It's time for a therapist.

Unless it's a discounted wheel. Rse16 problems.

Been there. Sucks.

I guess this makes your decision about getting your wheels refinished easier..

Yeah I’ll obviously do something about that wheel but might not touch the others now. The fixes to the paint were marginal at best to begin with and I know are just going to happen again with normal wear.

The good news is Neuspeed sells touch up.

I did the same thing to one of my sets of wheels. Made me cry.

Yep. Doing the cheap repair is an option.

Sucks Matt, but This. Makes that decision for you

I wish I could take advantage of this, but I’m not the original purchaser of the wheels.

This is an option too… buy a new wheel and run it full time and have this one repaired and run as full-sized spare with one of the continentals I have with decent tread left.

Or… buy a new wheel and have this one repaired and sell it.

I’m all over the place on this.

"Herb - we're going to need a cleanup in aisle 7!"

Tiggy- Dialed up the front coils to level it out better (rears need the current height to account for rear passengers)
In preparations to Monday's alignment appt.

Going to ask him to dial in as much front camber as possible and like -2 in the rear so I can work on the spacers stance finally

Rear brake pads and tire rotation today. Wanted to replace rotors but the set screw was totally seized on both sides and I would’ve stripped it with hand tools. Didn’t have an impact driver. Luckily the rotors are still at 9.8mm and looked fine.

Stock brake pads after 52k mile and 15 track days…just about at the wear bar lol.

$20 Amazon tool for compressing rear piston, worked great!

EBC yellow pads installed.

Dust boots on the shocks had basically disintegrated so cut the majority of them our. Will need to replace soon.

Is the black wheel arch stock? Makes it look like it has a big gap.

Yes all tiguans and all trims except the euro true r have textured black arches. It’s almost 4” drop right now

Lol to clarify 15 days on stock REAR pads, I’ve gone through 2 sets of Ferodo DS2500 on the front. But yea, incredible how little the rear pads are used. The rear has been getting fairly loose under hard braking so I think a more aggressive pad should help a bit.

 

[GTIfan99]

I like loose. It's the autocross roots.

I had my RSe10's powdercoated after the finish started peeling. Prismatic Lazer Platinum. It's a dark metallic grey, which is a few shades darker than Dark Iron Blue, but not deep black.
