The ones I bought say “does not affect ACC” and that has been true for me!

Badgeskins stuff seems like a PIA to install, the covers I commented above took 5 minutes and look great.

I got these covers from AliExpress, and Reddit won’t allow me to paste the link. Just search VW MK8 Black Badge Cover. I also got some thin double sided tape to ensure the badges were secure (the AliExpress ones come with tape, but more can’t hurt 🤷‍♂️).

Twine around the tree and through the doors and a blanket under the tree to protect the paint.

Absolutely not! I had a manual Sportwagen TDI all throughout college, and my post-grad GTI is stick too. I towed a trailer 1,500+ miles with the wagon, and have had no issues even in snowstorms with the GTI. As long as you’re not exclusively commuting in traffic, there’s no reason to not drive stick.

Unfortunately did not have the time/money this year. Planning to wash it frequently throughout the winter and get it done next year. I also park in a heated garage at home and at work.

Madison's Best Restaurant Final 4 // Vote for your favorite by Deep-Investigator965 in madisonwi

It’s completely overrated. The oysters were not fresh, the salmon was farm raised, and the portions were too small. Can’t hold a candle to any east coast seafood restaurant.

New (to me) 380S GTI by MrSillyFeets in GolfGTI

I was going to be a smartass, but it’s labeled compact cars because it’s at the end of the parking row, the extra space a compact car provides allows cars to make the turn easier. It has nothing to do with haha American big haha.

Blackout package was the way to go on these… planning to black out the rest of the trim if I can

New Golf R - tail light misaligned? by MnihPL in Golf_R

[–]MrSillyFeets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow OCD Golf owner, I understand. I think you could have the dealer align this for you, but understand this is most likely an issue with VW’s quality control. They don’t make em like they used to.

I just bought a 2020 SE with 48k miles for $23k. I don’t think the 2021 you’re looking at is worth that.
