    I'm taking pictures and getting measurements for proof, I'll hopefully get things sorted out, but I really don't have high expectations for this company. I've already had big issues just getting the wheels in the first place.

    On a less important note they also sent me the incorrect lugs.

    Wow are you serious? That is terrible, sorry to hear that. Especially since you have put plastidip on them already. Has WCI offered to correct the problem at all yet?

    Tires are on! Nice and stretchy. These won't stay in the garage for much longer....

    Here's a picture of the repaired oilpan, there wasn't as much damage as I thought...



    Fender liners have been pulled, and fenders have been rolled, hopefully get tires on this week, and ready for summers.

    Got the car back this afternoon! Huge shoutout to Tunedub for the awesome service and work. Instead of ordering a new pan, and having to wait a week for the part, George welded the pan back up and said it was good as new with a fresh pan heater. I will lift the car up sometime soon and snap a picture of the pan.

    Also got a full service down while i was there, haldex and dsg change were the big ones. For those who have dsg, get the dsg flush done! The car shifts so much smother and quicker now that it has been done.

    It looks like its just the pan, well see what George says. but i will not be getting a skid plate, even if i had one it wouldn't have saved me.
