What did you do to your mk7 today?

[cbr600rr]

Something for the majority of you to hate ?. AliExpress rear windows louver covers. I should not be able to buy things on my phone when I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. Since I bought it, I am going with it.

It might be the "so bad, I have to do it" allure of these.

Are you going to add any red pinstripes to the louvers?

 

[swcrow]

Imma say no. The last car I saw where louvers looked good was an old Saab 9000 turbo.....

What they don't look good on the base model chargers/challengers with a big animal (not a cat because SOMEHOW Dodge owners aren't complete cringelords to upbadge) sticker on the doors?

Nope. Keeping the pinstripes to just the ground effects.

As a child and teen of the '80's, it is a bit of an omage to the hatchbacks of those days that would have louvers. Also, that is what first got me into fast, 4 cylinder cars. Not everything had to have a huge engine. The `80's Daytona always was a car I loved. Watching Didi McCall have chase scenes with it in the show Hunter was some must watch TV for me.

Nothing more fun than being able to bully big V8 stuff with an inline four.

red rally armor gives many subbie vibes

red rally armor gives many subbie vibes

It is a very "Subbie" thing, but I love the look of flaps & they catch/prevent so much crap from hitting the car(especially with the wheel spacers).

Was looking at RallyArmor or RokBloks, @Mass_Paul do you have the short or the long flaps?

This is what I have. My son has the same (in black) on his 2016 GTI.

Darker rear reflectors to match my 7.5 Vlands. Got the repair wiring crimped along with everything else ready for the weekend to get this job done.

Random question, but who else would know the answer if not you guys:

Does the 2024 Tiguan in the US come with the same 2-liter TSI engine as the Golf and the GTI? Codes along the lines of CXCA/CXCB?

No

No, I believe it's the EA888 3B.
