    Any 2-doors have rear footwell lighting?

    Even 4 doors never came with rear footwell lighting I used this kit from DE Auto Key to get the feature and love it. Actually, after a while I moved the rear LED strip to under the front seat facing the front and now I have a much nicer and more well-lit foot well in the front. I never really...

    2012 Deep Black Pearl 4dr Base Model GTI, or Veronica as I call her

    Ordered a few more parts for this car so updates coming soon. This thing is slowly becoming a fully bolted on stage 1 GTI. Essentially this thing will be fully ready to drop in a new turbo one day if I decide to upgrade the car to that level. After my next round of performance mods, I will...

    Bump Listed on FB as well so these may go any day now. Next will be a listing on Craigslist in a few days. Looking to move these and much prefer this forum over meeting a random person off another website.

    FS: (4) "Detroit" Wheels - 18x7.5 et51 - Central/North NJ Pick-Up

    Looking to see if anyone is trying to pick up a set of Detroits. Took them off my GTI a few months ago. Wheels come with all 20 OEM Plastic Lug Caps Each one has some wear + tear & curbing on it - including some spots of failing/cracking clear coat. Not so bad they can't be put on a daily...

    Stupid prizes

    Hard to keep the ego & excitement in check on the motorcycle. Honestly one of the hardest parts of riding is using your head and trying to be careful. Super easy & fun to zip around cars going fast but its not usually the best idea.

    2012 Deep Black Pearl 4dr Base Model GTI, or Veronica as I call her

    Spent a few hours Friday night + Saturday morning on installing the ShopDAP Holy Shift Short Shifter & APR Metal Shifter Cable Bracket. The Holy Shift Kit is basically the same concept as the Diesel Geek Sigma Six short shifter - not sure if there are any minute differences but as far as I saw...

    2012 Deep Black Pearl 4dr Base Model GTI, or Veronica as I call her

    Noticed the car got a bit squirrelly when taking a turn in a spirited manner. Was worse turning right than left. Only noticed at speed. Brought the car to get an alignment today and had everything straightened out. Looks like the front wheels needed to be dialed in again. Was told passenger...

    2012 Deep Black Pearl 4dr Base Model GTI, or Veronica as I call her

    Recently swapped my wifes car for a 2020 45 premium plus Q3 - as far as I can tell the car has the same motor as comes in the mk7.5 GTI. I am working on modifying it to our taste little by little and plan on keeping it mild. I ordered an APR Throttle booster to see how the Q3 drives with it...

    Recommended shops in NNJ?

    Attached are some pics of what Drive Autoworks lot looked like the other day when I got my car back even if some of those cars are paying for storage and not in line to get fixed/serviced - still a pretty nice line up. they must be doing something right.

    Recommended shops in NNJ?

    What part of NNJ? I've worked with 2 shops recently that I trust and would go back to. I've put clutches in 2 mk6 gti's - both done by Cosmo @ Corsa Motors in Englewood. Hes expensive - and takes his time to do the work - but you would never get the feeling he is lying or trying to rush you...

    2012 Deep Black Pearl 4dr Base Model GTI, or Veronica as I call her

    Put some good work in on the car this weekend. At some point some genius mechanic was a bit over enthusiastic with my oil drain plug and they stripped the shit out of it. I never take it to a mechanic for oil changes so at some point when I was at the mechanic for something else, it must have...

    Is this quote high or about right?

    I've found often times if you bring parts to the mechanic, pricing goes up. It seems they dont really want to deal with people who get their own parts together - and price accordingly.

    2012 Deep Black Pearl 4dr Base Model GTI, or Veronica as I call her

    Finally threw on my Carbon Fiber mirror caps - looks pretty good against the black paint. Just need to add some other CF bits to make it look more cohesive. I have the rear spoiler extension - I am thinking Carbon Fiber door handles and maybe a Carbon Fiber front lip would get me to the look I...

    DIY - ECS Tuning Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps Install

    Finally got around to installing my ECS Carbon Fiber Mirror caps the other night - figured I would post here as I don't think I saw any threads talking about them or any photos of them already installed before I got mine. I ordered these...

    Mk6 gti Oil pressure, engine off HELP

    These are some good questions. Based on the wording in the first post - it sounds normal. When key is on the "accessory" position - all the warning lights should be on. I think this is simply to prove they are working so you know they are not just out/broken once the car is on - any of those...
