My new mk7 R

The plan would be to use the Cupra copper colour. But was quoted $264/wheel to repaint the centre

Nice and clean again

That’s ridiculous. Would powder coat be any cheaper?

Couple of small changes to the rear. Swapped to gloss black rear spars and deleted the diffuser add-on. I much prefer the cleaner oem look

Replaced to old battery today. Was definitely past it’s used by date, the positive terminal was cover so badly in corrosion . I don’t think it was even the correct battery in the first place and wasn’t coded to the car either. All sorted now





Also my new co pilot

Just pour some baking soda over a terminal like that and will clean it off

Already done that a few times. The battery couldn’t hold a charge, would struggle to start the car and threw up a bunch of afs and hill hold errors this afternoon

That battery is fine for the Golf Mk7 - I run exactly the same Century DIN65LH AGM model in my MY18 Passat. The battery hold-down clamp and battery tray have different bolt holes to suit different size batteries for different applications.

Sounds like the battery is dead though, that's for sure.
