I am very interested in purchasing one, who do I talk to on here? It looks awesome and could very much use one.
I have a few comments about this mount and my experience with vw671 in general.
....
Thanks vw671 -- Money well spent.
Thank you jeoje, I've seen your Instagram and I'm impressed with your 3D printing work so your words me mean a lot to me.
Just to touch on a few points from my angle. 3D printing may seem cheap at first glance but making products in volume isn't very cost effective. It is slow, expensive, and very labor intensive. The key word there is volume, I've been running my 3D printers almost continuously for 2 years 24x7. Just to keep them operational is labor intensive and costly to say the least. Literally last night I spent about 3 hours repairing a faulty harness cable due to shear wear and tear. And that was one of the more basic repairs which come up.
I average about 3-5 hours of labor every day producing/preping plates which spread around the clock. Other then actually sleeping or out with the family I'm working on it in some way. Some days I will make less than minimum wage for sure...LOL.
Regarding the nut inserts. I've toyed with the idea numerous times but what stops me is the fear that someone potentially can damage their grill but over torquing them down. I rather have someone strip my backing plate than damage their grill. Personally I've re-installed the same plate kit on my personal car easily over 10 times and I never had an issue with it. I even use a cordless drill to do it (*which I don't recommend). In almost 700 kits sold only one person has reported to me he stripped his.
But I'm rambling now...
aight this is on my radar now. Need one for the alltrack and the others kept tripping sensors. Thisis great!
I'm currently working on a MK7 GTi model but I don't expect anything available for at least a few months.
Getting ready to pull the trigger on a new Mk7.5 and got very happy when I check the end of the thread and saw this. I like this one a lot more than the Platypus tow hook mount i was looking at. Much cleaner looking.
Now the question is how long can i get away with no front plate in St. Louis... or how do i temp mount so it doesn't screw up the paint/bumper while you get it finished.
Just line the back of the plate with foam padding and tie strap it on the GTi grill
The GTi grill isn't gloss black like the Golf-R grill so your not really going to see scratches on it anyway..just keep it away from any painted surface.
Sorry I'm currently only offering kits for MK7 and MK7.5 Golf-R's. They are custom fit specifically for these models and will not work on any other model.

Ah man. I just realized you said you were working on an Mk7, not an Mk7.5 facelift. :-(
I will keep an eye out and see if you bring out a model for the 7.5 grill.
