What did you do to your mk7 today?

Did you just drill and tap the rad support for that pin location? Looks like those braces are mounted further forward than they are on the street car.

I ended up not using the TCR headlamp mountings and used the stock ones do to them screwing into the front and top nut-certs for more bracing since the TCR has specific metal brackets.

The TCR hood comes pre-drilled for the OMP pins and hit exactly where the stock stop buffers hit.

The pins are just double nutted but you have to grind out the back side of the front nut-cert and some of the lock carrier.

Easiest thing is to just cut the hole into the stock hood to use the factory latch which saves on paint.

Very clean, thanks for sharing. I don't see the need for latches with a stock hood but if I can source a quality lightweight one unlike the garbage on sale in the US I'll revisit them.

Rented a 9' cargo van to pick up all my OEM take offs which have been gathering dust at HPA. I may need to get a bigger storage locker. Or stop hoarding them and junk them.

Spoke to Marcel a bit about the car. Looking like I may be able to have it back in a few weeks.

Installed a Cobb downpipe. Was a pain in the ass getting the old one out on jack stands.

Fake exhaust tips trigger me when I see one side with carbon build up and the other shiny

What about stock exhaust Rs that never use race mode?

Finally changed out my drivers side DRL module. What a pain in the ass !!. I could not get the headlight assembly harness to release no matter how I pushed that tab to get it to release. Ended up just pulling the assembly as far forward as it would go, then rotating it 90 degrees and swapping out the module. Cleaned up the front wheel wells, calipers, and coilover housings while I was there popping the bumper off.

Is this the proper amount of water that the horns should be holding?
