After the :dillerman: fucked my suspension and bent the passenger side end link, the end link worked its way behind the liner and partially tore it away from the fender. Now even with the end link replaced it's catching on the liner...the whole thing just seems to close to the inside of the fender itself. Wondering if maybe something else is out of whack under there and could use a healthy car to compare to. Thanks!

So 6k commuting miles and 10k trip miles - that's getting closer to my ratio. :notbad:

The reason I have so many miles this quick is because the MK6 was a lease. I was already ~7k miles over my lease limit. All of the stuff I wanted to do but couldn’t translated into me doing the things with the MK7.5

When paying nearly twice the price of a base model hatchback for all of the fun factory bolt-ons and blue paint it's easy to get carried away with spending even more on protecting 'my precious' to try and keep it looking and driving nice. I gave the :gorf: a wash this morning and inspected the sheet metal and trim pieces for any new stone chips that could use touching up. Thankfully nothing new on the body, and the hood is flawless under the PPF, except for the one spot that got hit by a flung rock prior to me going fool coverage for my treks along the notoriously nasty hwy 401 which I take almost daily. Now that its totally wrapped I'm better off for it.

I noticed my headlights are taking a beating and wonder if there are some legit cracks under the ppf. The angle of the lenses, much like jeep windsheilds don't allow rocks to ricochet off well. See what I'm left with in a few years when i peel this stuff off.

This one looks the worst, the others might actually be okay.

Hello friends. Those with MY2017-onward of any version of the egg should check their front door creases (where the door goes inward when it’s opened). Apparently VW decided to put a piece of plastic trim that can fall out of place and rub up against the door as it’s opened and closed.

Let the :triggered: commence. Mine is affected, and apparently there’s a whole thread dedicated to this.
