What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Riptide09]

picked up my '17 Sport on Saturday and then spent the last two days reading this thread. It's been an awesome thread with so much useful information and very minimal crap talking. I'm highly impressed with the helpful attitudes here



Mine is a daily driver with about 80 miles of commuting a day so minimal mods will be happening but plan on Emmanuelle springs and one of the stage 1 tunes (apr, unitronic, or JB1) immediately.



Everyone here has obviously seen a stock GTI before but wanted to show mine off before I start and also see if I remember how to post pics on forums. Thanks guys!

Welcome man. If you want your warranty go JB1. If you're ok with losing it go Unitronic or APR.

Boomba baby, short shift trans adapter! Took all of 15 minutes to install and the shifter feels is great while driving. Nice. solid well made piece.

The pod is worth it, very clean and simple. Very well built and you lose no functionality of any vents. I bought a semi mechanical gauge with a Bosch sending unit connected in the engine compartment. All I have coming through the firewall is a small wire harness from the sender. After having a cheap gauge from newsouth in my MK6 for 6 years I decided that I would do it better this time.

Is it possible for that gauge to match the stock gauge color scheme?

Exactly. That's why I don't like aftermarket gauges. The P3 gauge looks like it could be a stock part to me. I had the APR and the NewSouth gauges and they just look too ---- JC Whitney in these cars.

Yep it matches perfectly, I was just showing the other colors

Looks like a good candidate for a smash and grab. P3 doesn't.

Lol ? all my windows are tinted, even the windshield. I don't know how many windows you have broken on a car but it isn't as easy as it looks.

Unless you have a spark plug lying around. [emoji15]

Someone hit my MK6 with a spark plug and it didn't break, it cracked but safety glass won't shatter with a spark plug unless you hit it just right.

After getting air blue 80 and eyebrows redone from damage after headliner was removed to fix leak, found this on way there :/ I wish headliner removal on nobody...jeez looks a mess!

New sun visor required, everything is 'clip' now..no more crews!

Raised the height of my shift knob a smidge.
