Volkswagen Mk7 GTI - 2 Years of Ownership and Modifications

In this video we're celebrating 2 years of ownership with the Mk7 GTI! This car has been one of the best decisions I've made and haven't had any regrets. The Mk7 GTI has been a workhorse on the channel and we've done a good bit of modifying it now. Excited to see what's next!

Just picked up a mk 7.5, it’s bone stock right now and I’m loving it already, can’t wait to start modding it, been checking out your vids and getting excited for the potential

[@cosmicheretic8129]

I highly recommend Aodhan AHX 18x8.5 35mm offset wheels. Mine are matt black wrapped in Michelin PS4S 235/40 tires. This package looks and handles amazing.

[@ColoredinLight]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@demetriusstevens8529]

Thanks for all the tips and great videos. 2016 GTI same color as yours. Stage 3÷ a.k.a. the Gremlin

[@caliebsutton5359]

i also own a gti similarly specked absolutely love it found ur channel on google for the turbo muffler delete beautiful car man

[@ColoredinLight]

Thanks for watching man!

[@deanmarr785]

Love the content. My experience is that you are on borrowed time on your stock struts with H&Rs. I went with Bilstien B8s. Nice upgrade. Thanks again for the GTI and MX5 content.

[@ColoredinLight]

They've been on for about 10000 miles now, car isn't driven on too bumpy of roads but I know an upgrade will come eventually

[@MegaHollywood1971]

Why the "EQT Ground Kit"? Did you damage your negative connections? They are only for people that cannot remove the top screw from the bottom bottom bolt correctly.

[@nashgamalinda5383]

Hey man! I have the same car, it’s 2021 mk7.5 gti. It only has 11,400 mileage but there’s a creaking noise inside the car already. When I’m driving and hit bumps or like uneven road, you can hear it’s creaking inside. But it goes away if I’m driving for a long time. I’m not sure where it’s coming from, it’s sounds like in the door seal or something. It’s really annoying. Do you have the same problem?

[@ColoredinLight]

The car definitely does creak and I know other people have said the same. Seems like a common issue you just kinda have to deal with.

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

What’s with us Miata guy’s and VW’s lol.. I have the Miata in my thumb nail and I have a mk5 gti Fahrenheit as well and sold my corrado a few months ago

[@ColoredinLight]

Enthusiast cars man, we know good things when we see them!

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

@@ColoredinLight facts brother.. I followed you on instagram btw

[@ColoredinLight]

Cool thanks man!

[@Mk7.5shelby]

Get rotiform rse's their not that expensive and they look great

[@ColoredinLight]

I do like the rotiform stuff! Thanks for the suggestions.

[@jpchampine6992]

I recommend APEX SM-10's. Well made, durable, & functional. Pair it with PS4's (245/40/18) & you'll be set for summer driving. You'll need different tires for winter if/when you hit the snowbelt.

[@ColoredinLight]

Yea luckily we don't really need winter tires in Texas. If it snows, that means it freezes and there's no driving in ice.
