Wow the whole package looks great together.

Not sure if this helps with the paint issue or not but I was told VW clear coat has a yellow tinge to it whereas most body shops clear is just clear. I noticed this when I repainted my CW Mk5

Thanks! Roberto and I are developing a plan to resolve it. I'll pass the message onto him.

Also for anyone curious, I went with 17s because:

* It's cheaper to customize
* winter tires are also cheaper
* You get a better ride especially with soft winter tires

It'll be 18s again for the summer!

Getting ready for the summer! Picked up some tires today, still looking for wheels.

Finally hard-wired the Blackvue and the Escort 9500i. I didn't have the Smartcord, so a DIY solution was done (thanks, internet!):

Haha thought it was you. No backfire or anything. You were just sitting outside the service dept doors.

Oh, my bad! I wasn't at Fifth Ave VW today. I thought you meant 5th Ave in downtown.

As per the misfire, I changed the spark plugs and updated to the R8 coil packs. Seamless WOT now.

Thanks, Colin and Calgary Autoworks!
