What you're thinking of doing is known as prima donna style. And if you're seriously worried about your center caps clashing with your emblems, you're thinking way too hard.

One thing to keep in mind is that those 2.0 engines are pretty maintenance heavy. Theres currently a class action lawsuit on the timing chains stretching but oil consumption is a big issue. Most cars have been fixed, but the job involves a two step diagnosis. First step is replacing the front crank bolt, front crank seal, and pcv breather. The second fix is replacing the pistons. The wastegates on the oem turbos go bad causing you to replace the turbo, the chain stretches and will skip timing, and less often do the cylinder heads fail. If you seriously consider going that route, buy one that has been dealer maintained and have history on those things being done. Otherwise you could face some pricey repairs. Chains usually go around 75k miles. Food for thought

Seb you really are a glutton for punishment huh. Lol. I'd suggest going E90 touring before getting a b8 avant.

Seriously am... All of the ones I have been looking at are above 75k miles and only looking at ones with the full service history and if those things aren't done, then going to the next one.

As for going e90 touring, I really don't want to go with a BMW again. I'd prefer to stick with Volkswagen Audi Group. That's just me though, each to there own.
And yeah, I really am a glutton for punishment lol

I haven't really done UX, but I know what works functionally from a mobile design perspective?

Was really just curious if you knew of the good good software for it. I'm using sketch right now, and it's pretty easy to pick up but was just curious what others were using.

[SebastienPeek]

Yeah, Sketch is what I use continuously for it! All our designers and media guys/girls use it too.

[SebastienPeek]

For reference, this is Marilyn.



Mainly for the newb ^

[SebastienPeek]

There are few cars that I remember from a name, Marilyn is one of them. Obviously Rusty Slammington as well.

Dope, glad I started in the right place then lol. Been like 7 years since I've done any of this.

Nice man, get back into it, it's a great side hustle too if you join up for Fiverr and get some dollars doing it for people!

marilyn was fat 5-spokes which was still risky, but still pulled it off (i think it being a coupe helps vastly)

style 5's have a different mesh style that imo doesnt wear non-metal colors well

Yeah I know, I feel like Marilyn being a vert helped greatly.

I had prima donna on the Golf, 16-18" BBS RS'...
