What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Nineeightyone]

I am having trouble finding the correct bolts on RockAuto. FCPEuro just doesnt even have them? Would I be looking for these?

To the best of my knowledge, it's not the sort of thing that RockAuto carries. Here's a link with part numbers and a wealth of info, it was supremely helpful when I was looking. The majority of my hardware came from Urotuning, though I did wind up having to get some incidentals from the dealer.

Full set of hardware looks to be about $40 from FCP

Absolute last thing I needed was another set of wheels, but was stunlocked by a OE set of Fuchs that popped up on Marketplace yesterday. Had to pick them up. 1400$ CAD (about 255$ USD per wheel). No curb rash, rubber is original 2021 and pretty shot.

If those wheels were 8.0 or 8.5" they might have been the perfect OE VW wheel. Light, strong and great looking.

I just posted the exact same thing in the other thread.

I feel the same way. I have a spacer set lying around somewhere, might try a fitment test this weekend.

Over the weekend I DIY repainted the panoramic sunroof trim. I think it came out great. It took me a couple of days to sand off the old clearcoat by hand. I then wet sanded the orange peel until it was flat and cut and polished the clear coat. She's ready for AVF!

Legendary, that looks great!

Looks great, what paint did you use? Rattle can?

Yes, all done with rattle cans. Automotive touch-up adhesion promoter, Black base coat and spray max 2k clear coat.

amazing im going to to the same.

Anyone that have a crack in the sunroof its made of polycarbonate, same plastic as roof glazing.
it can be plastic welded or epoxy glued.

Great tips on the sunroof trim. Haven't tried having it replaced under warranty yet but good to know there's options in case they're shitty about it.

Got ye olde yearly oil change. Only 6,100 miles on it since last time, but would rather too often than not.

I need to fix the crack in mine and then do what you did.

That looks great! I need to do that on my sunroof at some point.
