Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by SRGTD on 16 September 2025, 12:30 »What a cool, yet bizarre turn of events! It was clearly meant to be?
Looking forward to your thoughts comparing the CS to the TCR.
It was rather surreal. Apparently he's bought 50+ cars from them over the last few years. He must have a thing for white cars as he had a white CS40 sitting there too.I think that sticking with a FWD Golf rather than moving to a RWD BMW was a good decision when you’ll be using it all year round in all weather conditions. I look forward to seeing the pictures; are you going to disclose what colour it is or make us wait until you post up some pictures?
Like @clubsport, I also look forward to hearing your thoughts on your new car when you get it.
You're right about FWD vs RWD, but I wanted a change so looked at lots of options. Clubsport was right though when he said the performance Golfs were the best all rounders. Even though there are elements of the 8.5 interior that I'm not keen on, as soon as I got in and went for a drive I was sold.
It's another Oryx white. I really wanted red and a sunroof, got neither of those. But it's a Black Edition with Performance Pack includind Akra exhaust and Estorils (the hated diamond cut unfortunately but they look good for now, if they don't last I'll get them powder coated black) with HUD and area view. It does look very smart.
Nice spec
and not many days to wait until it’s on your driveway; one of the big benefits of buying a nearly new or an in-stock new car, unlike a ‘built to order’ car that might take months to arrive. 23

Golf mk7 / Gloss black mirror cap recommendations.
« Last post by wilmot29 on 16 September 2025, 12:12 »Hi,

thanks

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by SRGTD on 16 September 2025, 06:24 »It's not done until it's on the drive but I have paid a deposit on a nearly new Clubsport. I only wanted to sit in one but one thing led to another then post test drive we got to talking numbers and they offered me far far more for my TCR than I could've ever imagined such that I couldn't say no. The weird thing was the original owner of the car I'm buying was the original owner of the TCR and he wanted to buy it back! He was a serial buyer and the dealer gave him a call to seal the deal.

Golf mk8 / Re: wheel arch spoiler trims
« Last post by Carlosfandango on 15 September 2025, 23:14 »hi everyone I've a 2020 late Gti ive had it 18 months now it has the 19 inch adielades on when I bought it it didn't come with the wheel arch spoilers just wondered if any one could tell me the dimensions of these ie length thickness ,, as I have just ordered a set from temu for 7 quid probably wasted my money but cannot justify paying over £100 quid from tps would love here thanks
I bought a set from the dealer parts department when I put 19’s on my old mk8, they were just over £50 for the set of 4 if I remember correctly. The ones on AliExpress are exactly the same for a few pounds, so as long as you’ve bought the right type I’d expect the Temu ones to be the same. FYI, they are handed, and the front and rears are different lengths.
Here’s a link for the correct ones on AliExpress.

Golf mk8 / creacking doors - not the rubber seals
« Last post by Devdead on 15 September 2025, 20:31 »Hi everyone, i have a creak coming from inside the door / behind the door cards when the body twists
I thought it was the rubber trim so I lubricated all of them and sprayed silicone spray on the hinges
but the issue didn't go away, and i can hear it from all doors
I made this video recording of the noise in case anyone knows what it could be
