What did you do to your mk7 today?

4” GTI DP going together for a local forum member

My neighbor is getting his CNC plasma table dialed in, so I’m planning to have this Cerakote with the downpipe in the same high temp bronze

Installed BFI Stage 1 Engine Mount and transmission mount insert. Used GTIJakes video on how to drill out the OEM transmission mount rivets.
Originally I had Stage 2 85A durometer AliExpress engine/transmission mounts since they were cheap and look exactly like the ECS ones minus the markup. El_bigote_AJ ran them for 2 days before removing. I've driven with the Stage 2 mounts for about 3 years now and what a big difference. With the BFI S1 its like stock. There's more outside noise now instead of inside cabin noise. Takeoff/acceleration feel smoother.

Debating if I want to get the missing bolt/nut. Probably rolling around somewhere in my trunk.

I know it's a super simple and boring mod, but words cannot express how stoked I am to have working trailer lights! I was able to do it without a converter box thanks to LED bulbs, DIY euro tails and the custom pigtail harnesses from @ZERO815!

Replaced the window switch on the driver side due to the well known intermittent failure to operate issue. Since I hate removing the door panels and the upper rear clip woupdn't budge, I replaced the switch without fully removing the panel. Tight space, but doable. Btw the switch bezel has four side clips, so if you undo only the two front ones, don't pull too hard -- undo two of the side clips first.

Got an alignment done by the dealer about 1300 miles ago. Figured I'd let them do the 100k service while they had it (mistake). In addition, they also replaced the air filter even though I told them not to.

I checked my oil while on a road trip last weekend. I noticed they'd spilled oil around the fill cap, so I cleaned that up today. While wiping off the engine cover, I lightly bumped the flex hose at the airbox outlet, which just popped off the airbox's outlet port . The hose clamp was totally limp and the hose wasn't even close to being fully seated on the airbox. Got some robo-grips and seated everything properly with a nice *click.* Why was that so hard for a professional?

Part out??

Didn't take my numbers off.

Daughter says it looks cool to have them on so been driving around with them.

Do I need a vape and backwards cap now?

It’s like a badge of honor, like back they would do “street wars” night at the drag strip - we all would leave that shoe polish writing on on windows for weeks

Gauges, too.

Sweet wheels

Oh yeah. Some A pillar gauges for fuel, a clock, radio station readout.

Apex sm10 bronze. Should've clear coated them because they're a matte finish so pain to keep clean

I’ve got the anthracite SM-10s. I thought about the bronze but had bronze previously. One of the best looking wheels on our cars.

Also, I’m thinking ear gauges to go with the vape. You must be an old guy like me lol

Actually had to lookup what ear gauges are
And definitely older

Agreed drag strip shoe polish numbers will stay on the car til they naturally come off or get washed off! Event specific numbers/decals can stay too, but magnets come off right away to blend into traffic.

Some random pics from the Kona side. I definitely plan to visit the boat ramp again for some better pictures. I still haven't figured out how to take decent sunset pictures.

Because they are not professionals.

You can try parting the professional out, but illegal organ trafficking can land you in jail.
