For the record,

Yes, I am listening. And, no, it won't fit. Now, I just have to remember to
take pictures. I did in the begining, but I've been a bit lax of late...
I'll get right on it...(aka: the check's in the mail).  The guy who's doing
this for me has been my VW mechanic for about 20 years. He owns the shop
and sometimes can't get away to do the work, hence, it's taking a while to
complete. Oh well...
