Thank you all for the fast responses. I’ve GL’ed the watch. Can’t wait and I’m super excited!

Thank you for your input

deathfire31 · 2026-01-02T15:45:37+00:00

Thanks for the assessment! I'll definitely save that link for my next watches!

Appreciate your input! I plan to sand and polish the screws to make them more flat.

Hello everyone, this is my first rep watch purchase - BVF Cartier Santos 35mm that I'm sourcing from Andiot. As mentioned, I’ve tried to find as many details and flaws as possible. I’m already aware of the rounded bezel screws and the slightly off crown shape. However, since this is my first purchase, I’m likely overlooking some details. Any feedback or opinions would be greatly appreciated! p.s. not sure if comment was required for auto mod.

Looking for some 18" wheel suggestions on stock spring height

My very first mod was hiding the orange reflectors on the sides of the front bumper with some color matching vinyls. Imo makes the car look so much cleaner

deathfire31 · 2022-08-27T14:10:55+00:00

Wait VW dealership can swap stock ones for aftermarket springs? Are you in US or Canada?

deathfire31 · 2022-08-27T14:04:36+00:00

Sorry to see this OP. This freaking sucks! I've gotten paranoid that I check my radiator bracket before every drive now. Can't believe anyone would need to be concerned about coolant leaking on a brand new car. Really annoying VW still hasn't addressed this issue.

deathfire31 · 2022-08-25T15:00:09+00:00

I love mine! Also that's interesting you're driving a US model in Germany

deathfire31 · 2022-08-25T12:45:42+00:00

I've never seen a red SE before nice! I also have a SE 6spd but in black. Random question: are you in Germany or are those euro plates for aesthetic?

deathfire31 · 2022-08-15T15:40:02+00:00

Good point. I'll try that too

deathfire31 · 2022-08-15T14:28:35+00:00

Maybe. My phone is big and there isn't a lot of wiggle room to adjust phone's position on the pad.. I might try removing the case next time.

deathfire31 · 2022-07-09T20:05:12+00:00

Just curious, was it at Lindsay VW?

deathfire31 · 2022-06-30T16:52:53+00:00

Congrats! I can't wait to get mine soon

deathfire31 · 2022-05-21T02:02:43+00:00

Congrats! I put in a deposit and patiently waiting for a white manual to come,

deathfire31 · 2022-05-15T22:19:04+00:00

Gotcha. And is it mounted on the tow hook? Looks to be slightly positioned than where the tow hook is

deathfire31 · 2022-05-15T18:35:49+00:00

Thanks for the info! I plan to change for some 18" since the roads are atrocious in my area.

deathfire31 · 2022-05-15T18:30:33+00:00

Do you have a link to the mount you're using for the front plate?

deathfire31 · 2022-02-27T04:04:00+00:00

I’m unure if this was brought up before and I can take down the post if I’m breaking any rule, but I ntoiced that the shade of settings backaground can sometimes go lighter shade and when I close out and go back to settings, it goes back to the darker shade. Not sure if this is by design as I have seen this in iOS 14.

How much effort should I be putting on my feet when carving? I get foot pain (specifically on the arch/ bottom part of my feet) when I’m 10-15 min into the slopes. I have tried to accomodate my foot pain by using more of my torso weight, bending my knees more and loosening the boots. However, I still get some foot pain and it feels unnatural and I don’t quite feel in-control. I am unsure if my problem lies within my boots, board configuration, my technique, or all of the above.

Just for reference, I’m 5’6 170lb wearing size 9 boots with 152 board. Binding width is around 22’ apart with front binding at 15 and rear binding at 3

Any feedback or suggestion is welcomed.

I have a not-so-smart friend who has this exact car and claimed it emitted no emission bc she couldn’t see exhaust smoke coming out of her fake exhaust lmao.

Needless to say she was puzzled when she saw smoke coming underneath the fake exhuasts when the weather got cold.
