What did you get in the mail or bring home for your MKVII today?

New rear diffuser from AliExpress. Some overspray. OEM mouting points on the edges (4 screw holes) and center (2) and 3M tape along the center section. Was gonna try figure out how to wire the brake light to the 3rd brake light but I think that may be too much. Gonna cover it with gloss black vinyl.

I think the brake light is the coolest feature on it, wire it with a flasher on the first hits like a Subaru.

Nothing fancy, just some Mobil 1 0w-40 for the upcoming oil change. I'm sure this is out there somewhere, I couldn't find much but the Carquest 95154 oil filter is made by either Mann or Mahle, it has Made in Germany stamped on it, so that's good.
Oh and got a tiny hookup at the VW parts counter, the girl must have felt bad selling me drain plugs for $7 a pop, so she gave me 5 for the price of 4 lol. Thanks kind VW parts person.

Just came new Reaper Engineering muffler for my Mk7 R . Version 2 ,off to get it fitted . I drew it in Fusion 360 and sent the pic of to Reaper to build it . 100% packed with steal wool .A couple changes to the original drawing , the V clamps on the side help with adjusting the pipes to get them level .

Did you order direct via BFI? I'm still waiting for mine (ordered from USP) to ship/show some activity that they're on the way to me, once they are it's time to call up APTuning to have the clutch and mounts done. I figure if it's gonna be out at the same time anyway, it's only sensible to get both items off the list at once.

Yeah I ordered direct from BFI on 5 Nov so it took close to a month. I was told that the mounts are made to order, and just like everywhere else they are having supply issues, so yeah, there's a bit of a wait.

Thanks, that at least helps explain it a bit. I may just wait until after the holidays, since I don't really want the 'Friday/Holiday weekend' special (not that I think APTuning would necessarily operate like that, but I know as an individual my work is a little more rushed when I know a weekend/holiday is on the horizon).

Decided to switch it up and went for RS7 plugs. NGK racing plugs are constantly out or overpriced on FCP.
$10 off promo from Autozone. No brainer.

Good deal. And those racing plugs are too expensive and not needed anyway. Too cold of a plug for street driving.

Yeah, way too expensive, espcially when the vendor is out.
