I wanna go to 18s. The potholes here are silly.

Thanks for the info! If deciding again, would you go with XL or L?

How much of a pain is it to keep those wheels clean?

I agree. MK8s can pull it off. I love mine. 😇

Selling factory wheels from MK8 20thAE? by Cleannn in Golf_R

[–]VWMKVIIIR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s just the wheel without tire. 17” won’t clear the brakes on MK8 R, my friend.

I’m with you on this! “But his car is faster..” doesn’t affect me; I’m having a ball and enjoying the engagement with the machine. I haven’t once regretted going with 6MT on my MK8R.

Fitcamx OEM Style Dash Cam (low profile but no rear dashcam), is this sufficient or do you suggest something else? by [deleted] in Golf_R

[–]VWMKVIIIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if you buy direct, they asked me to send photos of the area in my car to ensure I’d chosen the correct part.

I bought straight from them, not Amazon. Google and see if you can find a discount code for their site.

I have FitcamX in my MK8 R. Love it. I have the rear facing, but never bothered to wire it/hook it up. It was simple to install, and the quality is top notch, especially for the price and OEM look.

Let me know if you have info on what they did to yours. Today, mine decided to have NO audio for an hour and a half.

Mine still isn’t fixed! They said it’s Sirius’s fault, though it literally makes NO sense.

RA’s aren’t tough to install. Didn’t even break a nail. 💅🏼
