Having the wheel centers done in that colour really helps, I'm not a big fan of them but they look ok there. Still too low for me but I'm an old fart.

Just from observation but youll need to be fairly competent with Vagcom. I was doing the suspension, fitting and removing wheels (x1k), passing tools or pressing the brakes for most of it...other than that its not much different to dropping out a sump and changing the oil fill pipe on a vr6. The refill is obviously the key and its a pain in the ass

Why so bitter? Life not turn out like you'd hoped?
Did you get beat by much?
