So I got my vent mounted boost gauge installed and operational. With one of the two switches provided I made it to where I can swap between red or blue. Shout out to uniwerks for the vent mount. Works great and fits well.
I replaced the the drain tube in the hatch. The grommet had completely disintegrated so it was draining into the car. Part number 510 827 861A (I drive a '15 GTI SE). Taking out and putting back in the trim I used a shopDAP video, those noises though...felt like I was breaking everything...but nothing broke. Phew.
Finished up my complete shift upgrade. One of the first things I did when I bought the car was to remove the clutch delay and add the SS braided clutch line. I finally got around to getting the rest of the pieces to remove the shift slop and shorten up the throw. I ended up using the ECS shift kit which works well and comes with good instructions. I had to move the forward/back pin on the short shift assembly a couple of times to find the right throw for me, but all in all, a pretty straight forward install. I finished off with a SportShifters.com weighted shifter.
Have not used it a lot so far, initial indications are crisp and short throws of the shifter. As most experience after a similar install, it is a little stiff as the parts start mating together. Will have to see after a couple hundred miles if it gets a little smoother.
hi guys. I need some help please. I need a mk7.5 gtd bumper with headlight wash, radar hole and sensors. I also need 7.5 wings too. I’m struggling to find good ones for a good price. If anyone can send me a link that would be appreciated thanks !

Happened to me on my previous car. On my current one I put black silicone sealant around the grommet. Hope it prevents the same problem. Huge PITA to fix this.
Had to replace satin chrome trim around shifter. Chrome peeled off from my NA GTI. Received AE vagbase part for 22€ today. Fits perfect, chrome finish perfect, minimal color difference to chrome on cubby but no brainer for me.
