Looking good Snooze!
The wheels are ridiculously too far into the arches on a MK7, quite a few on here running spacers. I had aftermarket wheels on mine which filled the arches better but have just switched back to standard and am not liking what I see!
10-12mm front and 15-20 rear recommended.
The soundaktor is noisiest on sport but can be switched down or off via VCDS or a dealer.
And lastly - the first thing I did with my mk7 was fit a pedal box (DTUK) as the throttle delay is horrendous. Best money I spent on the car.
Cheers Ex.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks spacers are needed! I'll do a post search. If I got say 10mm spacers would I need longer bokts? You'll have to let me know what spacers u end up getting.
Trip to the stealers it is!
Ah yes I've seen mention of pedal boxes before. How much did that set you back?
You'll definitely need longer bolts with spacers, many of the decent kits will come with good quality longer bolts.
I think GrahamFR runs spacers from memory, he's not the only one though.
Aitchi has an ECS spacer kit too.
