What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

[Sootchucker]

My red LED bulbs turned up today so I finished off my rear footwell lighting mod to match the red ones already in the front.

My red LED bulbs turned up today so I finished off my rear footwell lighting mod to match the red ones already in the front.

That reminds me of something I was supposed to ask a few weeks back.

In my cc the the foot well lighting is so much brighter. A few weeks ago when I had a GTD I noticed it and going from one to the other I needed to have the cc set at 20-30% to be as low as it was in the golf. I have it set at 75% in my cc. Is there an option for brighter led lights that fit the OEM opening and preferably in white as I don't really like other colours?

For what they are, I always thought the Lupo was a great city car. Also recently went in a friends new VW Up! and was amazed how much interior space it had and how well it went. Great little cars.

It is a good city car, it's just slow, noisy, creaky, doesn't stop.... But it's like an old family friend having had it 14 years now and has needed little work over the years. I had an Up! as a loan car and yes, roomy and quite nippy but the auto box was a disgrace.

[Mr GTD]

GTD's with the sport and sound pack have the same calipers as the non S&S pack - just painted red. So unlike the GTI PP models, they don't come (or are able to accept) a cover plate for the caliper with a logo on it. It's a mistake in the description by VW.

AFAIK, GTD's have never come with logo'd Calipers.

Damn it.

I thought as much though.

I'm trying to see if someone can make some up for me, I'm just waiting on a couple of responses.

There's is a guy on flee bay Uber9 he does High temp calliper decals iv used him before in the past never had an issue with any of his decals..

Yeah I've actually been In contacted with Adam about his Decals and he says said he can sort me out so I'm just waiting on a PayPal invoice so I can pay him...

Adam has said if I'm willing to send him good pics of them fitted then he will refund me. 

Thanks

All ordered now.

They were £6.50 if anyone else is interested. I hope to get this refunded myself as I will be providing pics to Adam.

I will post up pics of them once fitted to the car.

[Sootchucker]

Mr GTD, out of interest, where are you going to put the caliper stickers ?

I ask as the standard Calipers don't have the smooth cover plate that the PP GTI has, and instead has a big scallop cut out of the units right back to the brake pad ? Can't see where they would fit ?

Well spotted Sootchucker.
I wonder if that cover thing is available to buy ?
PS
Actually I've just looked at an old picture of my front brake caliper and it appears to be a different part altogether.

The cover things won't fit as the brakes are 340mm on the PP/R plus the calliper is drilled on them to accept the covers.
I must admit I was wondering where people were going to attach the stickers to the standard GTI/D brakes.

[Sootchucker]

I'd checked this a while ago when I had my White GTD. The GTI PP calipers are very different and have two holes drilled in them that the 2 posts with their locking clips on the back side of the "GTI" logo plate slide into. We don't have that design on standard GTD/GTi models. Also PP models are (IIRC) 345mm discs and GTD and standard GTI's are only 312mm, so they might be different from that standpoint as well ?
