What did you do to your mk7 today?

[kkingma]

Finally installed the LED’s found on an R. Really given the car a new lease of life. But also poses the question, debadge or not to debadge?

I’m leaving my white golf badged. It’ll be sleeper when I start staging.

Put on new tires for winter. I love the tread pattern on these.

Are those the comp 2 a/s?

If so, that’s exactly what I plan on getting.

How long did you have your GTi shane?

Mine will be a year old in 2 days and my odometer is @ approx 21,200. I had it parked for approximately 2 months during that almost 12 month duration. I had a health scare and had almost 2 months leave of absence from work so it didnt drive from the 3rd week of july through the 3rd week of September. I had a Stage 2+ B8 S4 prior to my mk7 GTi and i dont miss the b8 even when considering the issues below.

Consider yourself lucky for owning a sport. My autobahn's sunroof is super annoying. Although i have a pending case with VWOA I've hesitated to take it into a dealer since I'm extra nervous of the dealer mishandling the issue.

My sunroof has started its rattle phase since approx. 5k miles. Now it sounds like a styrofoam cooler with lid issues.

The sunroofs in the MKVII GTI are the worst I’ve ever had and if I was ever to get rid of my R for another GTI it would be one without the sunroof.

Nice. Those look like BBS made them for VW as an OEM wheel.

Thanks! I was really lucky finding this set, a bit of driving to pick them up. But, today was a beautiful day to drive here in the south. So, no complain at all.

Nice! I really like those on white and silver cars.

Thanks! They indeed give this car a different look:

Haven’t had much of a drive w them yet. Initial impression is the ride feels a bit smoother. Not sure on traction yet

My wife's sunroof in her S3 is silent. My sunroof is the complete opposite and so annoying when I drive. Sometimes i drive with it slightly open to avoid that rattling noise.

After reading all the sunroof complaints, I'm surprised there hasn't been talk about a class action lawsuit
