I was literally just about to buy some universal vents to do this a couple days ago. Didn’t know Verus made GTI specific ones until i randomly stumbled across your channel. Glad I didn’t pull the trigger on those universals lol
Really dig this mod dude.. Your GTI build is inspiring. Curious to see what your wheel setup is gonna be.. I've been considering these for my reflex silver mk7: Enkei RPF1's, Konig Ampliforms or Rennforms, Apex SM-10, 034Motorsport ZTF-01
I'm super curious to see where does the water go. Since I live in snowy and rainy country and interested where will all the water co, looks kinda close to inttake / battery
HAVE YOU NOTICED any cooling difference with the rain trays on vs off. When i messaged them awhile back they told me with the rain try it wouldn't do much to help cooling
I'm on a 2015 GTD with a remap and keep struggling with oil temps and general heat soak from the extreme exhaust temps. I wonder if that's at least partially help
@@ColoredinLight as stupid as it sounds, I trust myself more with cutting that metal open than to fiddle with the oil system even though the cooler would be more effective. There's a lot of pro and contra regarding the oil in 2.0 TDIs. With a cooler it takes longer to heat up as most oil coolers bolt on instead of the heat exchanger (water/oil), also I'm a little worried about the oil pressure dropping.
Bless you sir, I have been waiting for someone to post a install video for a Mk7 and here it is. Am terrified to cut into my hood lol
I would be too! But this isn't my first time cutting into a car so was pretty confident

Yea the instructions alone for these made the install really easy and they're made for the car!
@@ColoredinLight ya no joke, I was just gonna wing it with some non permanent marker, a ruler, and tape lol
@@ColoredinLight forgot to ask, I’m assuming the hood insulation had to stay off? Noticed any measurable difference in engine noise from the cabin?
@@GolfCoyote I'm sure you could cut it to fit it back on but I left it off. The intake and turbo noises are much louder which is fun.
I whant tje bold one ones not the strings

Thanks man! I'm not sure on wheels yet, I do love the rpf1 and ampliforms though! Both good choices.
@@ColoredinLight I think the bronze Ampliforms would look good on your mk7

Nice job. I’m looking for a set for my MK4 R32. I’m wondering if these will fit.

I'm sure with rain trays there is less air evacuation. Without rain trays, I can see the heat waves exiting the hood when stopped.

Hmm I would definitely start with looking at an oil cooler upgrade before cutting your car up. It's not reversible!

time to take it out to the track next month and try them out
Might have to! Miata still needs an alignment so golf might be the ticket
Wooried about car washer... Do you think it would survive?
I get my car washed all the time
What tools did you use to do this project?
The ones in the video?
@@ColoredinLight yes
@@stevelietzow well that's what I mean, what you see in the video is what I used. A Dremel, drill, etc.
Where did u buy that wents i also what the same ones please replay me
In the title bro
Yo man! Fellow MK7 owner, what setup are you running on with suspension? Coils?
Here ya go! th-cam.com/video/MgFctHfNdf0/w-d-xo.html
No rust sealing for the bare metal edge's? Your hood will rust like hell 😂
It will be fine
@@ColoredinLight 🙈
it’s aluminum 😂
@@hhucklebrry2454 in your wet dreams🤣🤣
looks bent around the edges
