What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[Watts]

I'm the opposite tilt all year round rear snow or hail, rarely fully, mostly because a bird got my back seats before...

That is my fear but so far so good...

Today I had the sunroof open for the first time this year! 11C, seemed rude not to.

I'll have the sunroof open all the time! Something lovely about a motorway drive on a winter night, heated seat on, sunroof open, music low. AC off, obviously

Replaced the plastic top on spare my key fob with a gti chrome top. Not sure if both should have had the chrome top from new?

Wonder if that means one is lost or 'floating' about somewhere? Bit worrying although had the car over 2 years and no incidents.

I think your safe from someone carrying around a random car key trying to unlock every 2013-2020 GTI they walk past on the odd chance they get a packet of half eaten sweets 

Welcome to the Jakemans that my OH keeps leaving in the car!

If it helps my friend was working in an accountants and the car park was usually full and they had to leave their cars parked on the road, as the scum bags went past once every few months and keyed all the cars...his mk7 Gti was hit twice and his astra once...

Took it to over 30k miles today. Although I still don't always get on with the dsg and I do have the 'third year itch', this really is an extremely competent car with a great engine. Plenty of go, decent comfort (excepting the monumental crash if you hit a bump/pothole) and all the practicalities of any Golf. I think regularly of replacing it due to the aforementioned itch yet there really is little out there that would be worth replacing it for. It was a difficult decision for me getting this given how happy I was with my MK7PP but it worked out well!

Now all I have to do is find some time to wash it...

Take the Refinitz off and put on a set of 18" Belvederes, I'm loving the 18" lifestyle currently so much I'd considering just keeping them on all year round.

I have washed mine and a few other cars today but I wouldn't bully you with those photos

Good advice but having just bought a full set of PS4S, I'm going to stick! That and I like the Reifnitz.

I appreciate your consideration of my feelings! Mines going to need digging out prior to a wash....

Finally a reasonable weather day today so have it a decent clean and wax. Sadly after over 4 years of parking incredibly carefully I noticed a tiny scrape on the near side front alloy with a tiny bit of white worm. Right on the edge of the rim so sanded it back and put a couple of coats of lacquer on it, looks ok but guess I’m just delaying the inevitable☹️

At 4 years and that's your first bit of white worm, I'd chalk that down as a win mate!

I won't show the exterior clean of mine out of respect to @Watts but I gave the saggy leather & interior of mine a clean today, as the smudge-ridden radio was doing my head in.
