What did you do to your mk7 today?

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.

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!

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.

Following what you end up doing. I've been rolling around on a broken rear spring for months on my 2015. I'm waiting for a forum member to respond back for some used stock struts/springs for a refresh until I go full coilover and not quite sure what all will be involved with a replacement.

I would recommend NOT running on broken springs. Too many things can happen.
I UPS Next Day Aired a spring from RockAuto for 100$ TOTAL. Bought the hardware at local dealership, and will be making the swap tonight. It should go pretty simply... but I usually get burned when I say that. I considered coillovers as well, but I live in the north and already push snow with the front bumper lol

Got some go go juice for the shake down tomorrow of the VR6.

 

[Kart17]

Drove it and pretty much the ac is weak. Ugh new condenser going to call up the local shop by me to take it in..

 

[gboticus]

Swapped everything to track mode after getting the gas. This is the first time she's been in this form in years. I'm so excited for tomorrow.

New front tires installed and 4 wheel alignment. Rear thrust was off to the right so they corrected it and I had them toe in the front halfway between factory and zero.

Not to the car directly, but I signed up for the Ozark Euro Rally. One of the good things about being in Eastern Oklahoma is that the twisty roads of the Ozarks are close by.

Rear Spring swap went well - the hardest part was reseating the bottom rubber pad into the alignment hole, and lining up all the bolts for reassembly. Took probably an hour in total, taking my time, talking to neighbors as they walked by lol

@aegis do it up!

I'm balls deep in the strut/spring thread as we speak.
