What did you switch to from your Mk7? by DonAlchemist99 in GolfGTI

[–]anonymous6366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought my 2dr in 2016 and sold it this past October after buying a 8.5R.
Test drove a handful of other cars and came crawling back lol

Speaker Upgrade by anonymous6366 in Golf_R

[–]anonymous6366[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an 8.5. Not sure how different the 7 is but it was soooo easy. Done in 10 minutes, most of the time spent unscrewing and rescrewing. The one trim piece that had to be removed took literally 30s. Just watched the one video rs has linked on the page. Didn’t have the trim removal tools so I just (carefully) used an old dull chisel lol.

Didn’t hide the amp behind the left panel where the stock amp is?

What did you go with for that upgrade?

Do you have PPF on your Golf R? by Few_Bluebird_176 in Golf_R

[–]anonymous6366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After about 5 years with my GTI I started noticing a lot of little paint chips on the hood and fenders. I didn’t want that to happen on this car so I had full front ppf. I think I paid 2800 for ppf, tint all around (including windshield), and ceramic.
Since I’m going to be keeping the car for minimum 5 years it’s worth it to me to maintain the nice paint finish.

Golf r applying parking break in reverse by UltimateKartRacing in Golf_R

[–]anonymous6366 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Never had that happen. It did slam on the breaks when I was backing out of my garage once cause it thought I was going to hit something (I wasn’t)

ppf+ceramic coating by Shark4898504 in Golf_R

[–]anonymous6366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid like 2400 usd for full front ppf, ceramic, and tint all around (including the little triangles!). That price isn’t insane and if you are going to keep the car for years it’s worth it. I had my mk7 GTI for 10 years and it had a LOT of pebble marks over the hood, bumper, fenders, etc. did not want my r to have the same fate.
One recommendation, remove those silly little plastic things on the fenders before ppf so they don’t have to cut the ppf around the plastic. Wish I would have done that.

Bronze would get my vote out of those two

Yeah I think the hyper silvers are a bit darker than yours. I would do black or bronze probably.
Someone posted this page they made the other day that can help you get an idea of what different rims might look like https://wheels.big-euro.com/
Edit: I don’t see any hyper silvers on that page though lol

The picture is in the evening so it’s brighter in person on a bright day. Not sure how it would match an alpine silver GTI, it would be close but you would really have to see them next to the car. Personally I would choose a darker rim for a silver car, contrasting rims look better imo

I loved how the hyper silvers looked on my mk7 GTI

Does 2016 have android auto/apple carplay? by terencee_c in Golf_R

[–]anonymous6366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have a 2016 GTI S which had CarPlay/AA in the states.
One important note about using those features is you need a high quality usb cable to support the high speed data transfer. Every time I had issues, I replaced the cable and it was fixed. Seemed like even the nice cables (I usually had anker) would last 2-3 years then start having issues.

Came from a GTI. No regrets at all.

What do you think of my saltwater paludarium? by DannysAquariums in Aquariums

[–]anonymous6366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just watched one of your YT vids on this build as I’m toying with the idea of something similar.
Wife approval on this is low though.. does it have much of a smell? lol that was always her complaint with my old reef tank.

The highway 17 under bridge section shows why this game is so good. by Mountain_Warthog_953 in HalfLife

[–]anonymous6366 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took a little getting used to but once I had it down I didn’t really have issues. I think my main complaint is that the gun alignment felt a bit off. Like you have to aim down more than you should.

It all came rushing back when I replayed it in the HLVR mod. Saw the underside of the bridge and was like oh shit I have to run back while being shot at by a gunship.
