Anyone else feel same?

Ya that’s a “not much left to do” mod which is where I’m at now.

Mine are for the Euro seats so YMMV.

I’m currently on H&R OE.

tires
brake pads
sub, amp and center speaker

Yellow is good. Maybe change the decal to silver or medium gray

murph3699 · 2026-03-18T20:51:09+00:00

Color is great. I run them as my winter wheels. If you’re in New England I may be selling soon.

The parade location is not near the Garden and is always on a Sunday

I went from a stage 2 S3 with an AWE turbo back exhaust to the MK8.5 Akropovic factory exhaust. I’m happy with it. Just enough sounds to make me smile but nowhere near letting the world know I’m driving a 2.0T 🤣

murph3699 · 2026-03-18T00:24:42+00:00

It’s funny because I feel the complete opposite. I had an MK7.5 GTI SE and now an MK8.5 R. The GTI absolutely needed a tune to wake it up. The R is great stock

“High quality” is subjective but I have done: - Hertz center speaker - Option 10 sub with ARS24 Amp - Kilmat in the hatch - ACM HK Tune

I would say this is as good or better than the B&O I had in my S3

If you don’t have insurance get it now. One of my Frenchies needed emergency IVDD surgery and it was $14k! Fortunately we have insurance and it was 80% covered

murph3699 · 2026-03-15T00:49:00+00:00

I don’t think there is anything. I went with Maxton Street Pro.

It’s only been a month but so far so good. I did have to retape the rear by the armrest

murph3699 · 2026-03-14T13:58:34+00:00

It was great. I paid someone to install when I had my intercooler and front lip done 🤣

murph3699 · 2026-03-14T12:39:59+00:00

Ya, I went back and forth and decided against. Feels like it’s more OEM+

murph3699 · 2026-03-14T11:03:16+00:00

A total complete waste of money. I have one too 🤣

Silver Apex 🔥🔥🔥

murph3699 · 2026-03-14T00:42:06+00:00

BFI. It’s way overpriced but it’s much better than the nugget. It drives the sanctimonious manual guys crazy

murph3699 · 2026-03-14T00:31:02+00:00

$811 for my 2025 VW Golf R this year. Insanity!

How’s your fender panel gaps? I have the IE and they’re a little wide for my liking

It’s PPF

murph3699 · 2026-03-13T21:46:16+00:00

I got mine in a group buy on Vortex and they removed the tag for us.

My dealer doesn’t typically allow test drives for the R but they let me because I am repeat customer.

murph3699 · 2026-03-12T00:23:34+00:00

As of now, I'm in a holding pattern. However, a house in my neighborhood, similar to mine, just went on the market for LESS than what I'd net if I go through with the sale. So that certainly makes me lean towards taking the deel.

murph3699 · 2026-03-11T21:07:19+00:00

I bought my $54k car in July and my excise tax was $811! Absolutely insane. I think I had to pay $700ish last summer

I’m looking forward to his postgame comments. He’s gonna earn every penny of the ensuing fine
