This retrofit kit allows you to add the MK8 rear subframe exhaust heat shielding to your MQB MK7 / MK7.5 platform.
Designed to both reduce turbulent air under the car and reduce heat transfer from the exhaust system into the rear subframe and surrounding components — especially beneficial for vehicles running aftermarket exhausts or higher performance setups.
Unlike sourcing parts individually, this kit includes everything required for a clean and straightforward installation.
