Dropped GTI off to get rust repaired. I requested to keep the front fenders and hatch that they are replacing with new parts. I am going to keep them for when I am out of the warranty period. They really only have a speck of rust, a quick sanding and some paint will do the job.

Sold the benz ML today. Gonna miss it a lot but it means I am keeping the GTI.

Looks great so far! With swisstracks, can you use a floorjack on them to lift a car?

Got approved for 3 corners and hatch to be repaired/replaced under corrosion warranty. Put up my Mercedes suv for sale and decided to keep the GTI!

Congrats and looks clean and new! May I suggest Bilstein B6 paired H&R oe sport springs? My friend drove my car for a weekend and he has a stock MK7 GTI and he said it didn’t even feel 10% stiffer. I am 10k miles and no issues with the set up so far. It is not too low and it is high enough for...

My winter setup is 16”s with thicc tires. Like 205/55 thicc and the ride is very comfortable on my bilstein B6’s which are stiffer than stock. But my summer stock wheels makes the ride less comfortable but for me in a fun way. Unfortunately I am, out of necessity, selling the MK7 for an Atlas...

Went for a nice drive for some groceries. The recommended hot hatch for grabbin' groceries!

Did a winter wash in the garage and waxed the bottom half and the hatch.

Looks amazing for your first time! Looks like a pro did the paint! What polisher did you use? Edit: I saw your post that you did it by hand. Your body must hate this decision by now ha!

Unfortunately I won’t have the pleasure of regretting 🥲 I’m stalking my prey in a herd of gazelles. The next car won’t be as fun 😭

For a damaged door and quarter panel?!! Insurance is such a scam

Confession: I am planning to sell my ‘16 S 2-door GTI 6MT in the spring. I am sad.
