Nice build and write up so far.

Nice build! Also, nice little diecast there!

Nice trim selection and stance looks great.

Lovely job!

Jealous that you can get a 4motion Sportwagen SEL with lighting package and manual.

Sweet ride

Superb estate! Did you do the coding that allows the DRL to stay on with the turn signal?

Another Ontarian! Are you planning to get rid of the fake exhaust?

I'm not aware that it is possible with the FL Mk7.5
Can you share the coding?

No. However, I don't like how VW finished the tips. It does bother me, but not enough to do something about it.
