What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

Polishing tail pipes.

I hate when I see another GTi and the pipes are black!

Gave my Clubsport a wash and a quick coat of Carpro Reload i found in stock that i bought back in 2015!!

That's a beautiful colour

Urano Grey was the only "free" Clubsport colour IIRC and not a particularly popular choice.

A good indicator as to if the cars been looked after perhaps

The other things I look for is dirt in the door seals and the state of the engine compartment.

Not really, a tuned car with no catalytic converter will also blacken the tips really quickly..

Fitted my old pedal box (used only previous manual Mk7) for the first time since buying the car new in 2019.

Suddenly, leaving the car in D and just pressing the pedal makes sense. I didn’t think the combo of 245 and DSG would need a pedal box but I was wrong.

However, using the fairly high setting I had on the 230 manual makes the new car a bit aggressive for “ normal” use so it’s Ben tamed down a bit to amber minus by trial and error.

Car feels a bit fresher to drive, so does the driver 😏

Do you still notice the difference between the driving modes as much?
Does the DSG want to keep constantly keep kicking down with throttle inputs speeded up?

I feel the PB just sharpens response enough to match what you would expect rather than the dead response to moderate pressure. It will kick down one or two gears more quickly in D but changes back up just as quickly. I feel in S it probably hangs on to the lower gear for longer. To be honest there have been hours and hours of stuff written on the forum re pedal boxes and I don’t really want to add to chain! But I’m enjoying it as much as I remember from  the days when the same box was on my manual car. Albeit this one is a bit fiercer.

Topped up the ceramic coating with Gyeon CanCoat, unfortunately it was out of date and had a slight reaction, but it's only to do me until Easter so I can properly remove the old ceramic and lay down some Gyeon Syncro.

I regret not getting a metallic white silver or Oryx white gti, but then I look at the red like this and don't regret it

Looks great as ever willni. I don't regret getting Oryx but I do prefer TR!

There’s no getting away from how good red looks when it’s at its best
