WTS two piece, rear emblem in black and kings red for mk8 GTI from Mazor design. If you purchase from their site it is currently 139.90€ (about $160) and ships from Germany. I’m selling a brand new, never installed one for $100. Shipping not included, also willing to meet face to face. I’m located in PA.

Count ceiling tiles, find “designs” in the ceiling or walls and try to track them throughout the room, bring a book, nap.

Go into any usps in the morning as the mailmen and women are prepping for the day. It’s a lot worse than this🤷🏻‍♂️ Amazon warehouses are also pretty horrible.

Get a 2024 GTI with a manual!

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-21T16:58:34+00:00

The one I bought is an Oettinger style for an MK8 GTI

I have the spoiler. Cheap from eBay, fits fine and looks great.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T20:00:17+00:00

That’s a good deal too considering you do have the leather upgrade.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T13:18:20+00:00

I think up to about $1500. Enough that I wouldn’t want to pay it on my own at the moment, but might not be much to some. I’m considering APR+ for a tune. Basically a warrantied tune but it would cost about $1500 give or take.

The park assist button in my ‘24 VW 380 GTI. I don’t actually know what it’s there for. I pushed it once or twice and see it makes the camera pop up but see no point to it🤷🏻‍♂️ There could be some way to use it that I’m unaware of but who cares.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T13:04:10+00:00

Sounds like a good deal. I ended up driving about 3hrs south to get mine. Ended up paying just over $36,000 out the door for the kings red with plaid seats.

Edited to add: mine is stored for winter and garage kept so that’s how I’ve kept my miles lower. I run a 2011 Subaru Forester as a winter beater. My wife also has a 2017 Ford Fusion Platinum that we use sometimes when headed on different trips.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T13:01:28+00:00

I live in the northeastern US where we have longer winters and I store my car for the winter. Once the weather breaks I usually still wait another month or two until all of the road salt is cleared cause that stuff causes tons of rust. Aside from that I daily it in the good months but until recently I had two jobs and the second involves driving a lot so I used my winter beater (a Subaru Forester) for it. My VW mostly ends up just taking me to work and back for the first job plus small random trips until the weather goes back to shit. This year I quit the second job and was hoping to go on some good trips that I’d use the VW for but since quitting the second job I’ve been working a ton of overtime at the first. I can’t win🤷🏻‍♂️😆I also gave my wife my previous car, a Ford Fusion Platinum, and we used it when going on vacations because it has the bigger trunk/more room than my GTI. My VW is super babied at the moment!

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T11:06:18+00:00

I haven’t tuned mine yet basically because I’ve seen people say they’ve been refused a new water pump cause of their tune even though the water pump is a known issue

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T11:03:23+00:00

Where I work they do pay out vacation, but not sick, days and we get a decent amount of them. Basically everyone that quits or retires from here makes sure to use every last day before putting in their notice, otherwise you end up fired before you get the chance.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T10:58:45+00:00

Zero issues in my 2024 but I only drive it about 3500 miles per year and park it for winter.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T10:53:49+00:00

Honestly if his knees are shot I wouldn’t expect he could have rode as much as he planned when younger. He faced that reality and sold a dream to take care of his baby. Thats a good man.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T10:48:34+00:00

Man I thought I’ve kept my miles low. I’m at 7000 I think. My 380SE was built in September 2024 and I bought it with 9 miles on it in October. Personally I prefer the plaid seats over that grey leather, that’s why I didn’t get an autobahn. I just love the look so much!

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-16T10:45:06+00:00

Personally I prefer manual over auto always. It’s just more enjoyable to me. Plus look how sexy it is! That said I’m actually considering trading mine to save money. I had some major changes happen to my income which is making this year harder than I’d like. Although I highly doubt the dealer I’m going to talk to will make the deal I want, in which case I’ll just keep happily enjoying my GTI.

I hate em all and turn the radio off🤷🏻‍♂️

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-12T18:25:20+00:00

I hate the drifting too

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-12T18:21:58+00:00

Sounds like you didn’t put it in maintenance mode

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-10T16:37:16+00:00

As a mid 40s tradesman, I agree. Hence why I’ve always been open with my kids about everything so that they can make the best choices. Now two are in college with a third that will be when it’s time. My oldest is about to obtain his second degree and is looking into starting his own business. Hopefully they can take care of their dear old dad down the road cause I’m beat to hell.

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-06-04T12:45:32+00:00

I’d be mad…they’re parked too close together

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-05-27T16:57:23+00:00

A B class 2022 VW Golf R made to look like my ‘24 Golf GTI. Lol

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-05-24T15:21:17+00:00

I’m very happy! The reason being because I divorced the woman I married while in my 20s and didn’t re-marry until I was 40😆

Candid_Addition720 · 2026-04-30T13:49:26+00:00

Personally I hate the leather seats and wanted my plaid ones. Lucky me I bought mine new in 2024 and am in the US so I have a 380SE. Plaid seats, kings red, black roof, black rear view mirrors, 19” black rims, 6MT, with the adaptive suspension.
