Paint your lowers! And lets see those seats, they do look interesting. Good purchase.
I'm sure it can be done much cheaper.
I might. But it's pricy. 600 euro for 30 bottles of hp sauce and 70 torx bits.
I'm taking it down to the dealer next week to see if the light switch can be rigged to turn turn on the lights automatically when contact is made and off again when you take the key out. I'll ask how much they can get the chip for.
VAG 1.9TDi PD engine with (130bhp? or do the Audis get a more powerful version like 150bhp?) 6 spd manual box = great recipe. Its a clattery old tractor of an engine, but it pulls like mule on crack and is pretty much bomb proof (ruined when they had to move to 2.0 and 16v for emissions reasons).
Pft, even on my 2001 Merc, it was merely toggling the right option in the lighting menu of my bordcomputer.
For the B6, there should be a DRL switch addon available:

Don't ask me how it is wired though.
Oh and Audi will make you bend over and squeal like a piggy to enable it.
Speaking of tuning:
This guy (DannyR) was the "Forum tuner" from the Ibiza forum (who run 1.9TDIs and 1.8Ts normally) and had a really good reputation (two friends of mine run his work, no worries since ~80.000km each):
