Looking great, thats some serious modification you've got going on already.  I'm sure it'll look spot on once everything's fitted.  Is it a 1.9 or 2.0 TDI?

Just out of curiosity is that Pioneer head unit have built in Sat-Nav or does it require your phone's GPS? If its built in I might have to look in to getting one myself.  Was it plug and play or did you need to update the electrics like with the later VW head units?
