Where in Los Angeles can I go to get my RS4 reps painted black (matte black perferably). I live in Santa Monica so someplace nearby would be ideal. Anybody have any suggestions? I scuffed one up pretty bad and thought instead of buying new wheels I'd just get them resurfaced and painted.

For all you San Diego people....I had to go to Palm Springs/Desert this weekend and had an AWESOME drive in my 07' GTI. If you haven't done so this is a great drive to put your GTI through some great twisty mountain roads. Take the 15 N to the 79 E to the 371 to the 74 towards Palm Desert. Had...

Thanks to reading a bunch of posts on here about the 20k service I decided not to get it either. I'm not paying close to $300 for a bunch of "checks". I just got an oil change and I bought the dust and pollen filter and am going to change that myself. They tried to sell me on the 20k service but...

I finally got my 07' GTI hooked up. These are the new batch of H&R sports (54752) with 18" AT Italia RS4 reps with Pirelli P-Zero Nero tires (225/40 18). Tint is 15% in the rear and 50% in the front. Sharan stubby antenna to replace the stock whip antenna. The rear will drop a bit more once it...

So its not a H&R issue but here's my problem. I had H&R sports (54752) installed yesterday along with new wheels. When I left the shop I had a ABS and my ESP light on on the dash. I brought it back and they checked it and hooked up to to vag-com and sent me on my way.......lights came back on. I...

I've had my 2007 GTI since late October and about two months ago the key fob i was using died (first stopped unlocking then stopped locking too a few days later). So I started using the second key fob and now the same thing happened!!!! How the hell can two key fobs die within 4 months of having...

I know driving in "D" mode is best for fuel economy. But what's the difference between putting it in "S" mode as opposed to using the paddles or shifter in manual mode? Are there any performance gains in sport mode that can't be reached in manual mode (using paddles or shifter)? Basically is the...

I notice that when I put it in sport mode and really get on it it doesn't shift till after redline......is that normal? I know it shifts on its own in sport mode but should i be using the paddles before it gets to the redline? Any tips on sport mode shifting would be appreciated.
