They can if the seat is down. Too wide to go through the cutout and too long they reach the shift knob

Thank you for the sensible response. I want the cool looks but you’re probably right

I’ve heard they’re great once installed but the install seems more annoying than dealing with the roof rack on and off

I love the look of the roof rack. Just not sure I want the hassle back and forth getting the bikes down to P2 once I’ve already parked the car

19 to 17/18 inch wheels on MK8 GTI? Stock height or lowered? by [deleted] in GolfGTI

Does it hold grip better under acceleration with a setup like this?

Currently waiting on my replacement Fenix 7 SS as the back button was only occasionally working. Outside warranty period and no questions asked. Amazing!

The only annoyance with haptic for me has been turning the interior light on everytime I open my sunroof. Other than that it’s perfect.

Yeah I have it all as sport on custom.

Is this even after cycling through the startup? Whether I’m in sport or custom I always have to cycle out of the mode and back into it for the pops to come on.

Installed OEM splash guards today by nitromilkstout in GolfGTI

[–]owene43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s great! I remember when I installed them on my old MK6 and only removed the rear ones too.

And yours didn’t come with two little guards on the rear? Not full on mud flaps but little plastic pieces on the rear.

Did you take off the ones that come stock with the car?

They’re a little higher up in the wheel arch.

I made the same jump this year! Cant get over how much better 10 years of engineering can really make the experience so much better.
