    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    I would love to do that mod too as I hate the GTI’s honeycomb. Is it a straightforward mod and do you lose the fog lights?

    What did you do to your mk7 today?

    replaced the center grille on my PP 2017 GTI SE with that of a regular Golf. I hated the honeycomb and red strip. I think the car looks so much more stealth looking. My next project is to get the Euro Spec R headlights with the chrome strip and somehow see if I can get the red GTI badge...

    Test drove a DSG Golf R

    So, went to test drive a Golf R at a dealership in Long Island yesterday. I have only driven manual transmissions all my life, so not that familiar with automatic transmissions to be quite honest. In Europe, where I grew up, learnt how to drive on a manual car. Anyway, so below are my issues...

    Any issues retrofitting an 8' intertainment system onto a 2016/2017 US MK7

    I haven't seen a lot of threads discussing the retro-fitting of the 8inch Euro infotainment part into a 2016/2017 MK7 with the 6.5inch screen. My question is directed with folks who have done the installation. Any issues at all after the fact? Is it truly plug & play without the need for any...

    Best detailing shops on Long Island

    Hey fam, my reflix silver 2017 GTI went in for its annual NYS inspection & oil change this past weekend. Also took it to the car wash afterwards, and when I got home, I noticed 2 very minor scratches on the hood. Seeing I cannot pinpoint whether the car wash or dealership was at fault, I’m going...

    STIG wants a R - importing from Canada to the US?

    First time poster, long time lurker. I purchased a 17 Reflex Silver GTI SE manual last year, and have been crazy in love with it. My wife has jumped on the bandwagon and basically taken it over. Its okay, because this has given me the reason to purchase an R. No doubt she will probably take that...
