I'm trying to work out SWMBO but I've a feeling its "The Wife"?
Thankfully mine lets me do as I please, work hard and all that....!
Bumper protector is a good idea, they should have them standard as they probably look better than without too!
I think you'll end up wanting wheel spacers, the worst thing wheel-wise is how far they are tucked away under the arches! Dont know why VW done that, they look silly!
