Who all do you deliver for / to ?

If Business to business maybe not too big of an issue BUT if going to residential
I'd recommend getting a skid plate to use in lieu of the factory plastic undertray for oil pan protection .... MK IV jettas sit low and a rock etc can take out an oil pan and ruin a day quick (happened to a friend of mine with a TDI MK IV Wagon twice !) ... the under tray (plastic factory OR aftermarket skidplate (usually aluminum ) is supposed to help with aero too .... have at least 1 (either or) but I would recommend the skid plate... skid plate stiffens up the front end to ... i can't recall which one i have but can try to look it up)....

Yup, I do residential deliveries. Previous owner lowered the car, I scrape the front bumper all the time. Ive learned which driveways to avoid. My car is missing the plastic skid tray, wheel well liners are also either shredded or missing lol. I may take your advice and get a real skid plate. The trans pan is already scuffed.

Anyway, I've ordered more goodies for the car. At some point when I get the motivation I'll post a proper update with pics and everything I've done since I was on here last.
