Don't bother, and tell yourself you did...
it will have the same effect. Grounding does nothing on a properly designed car.
Go ahead, measure siemens before and after, I'll bet you won't see any difference.

Info >>>
Most stock cars, including the Audi TT, has a stock grounding system that consists of just a couple of cables that connect the chassis and engine to your battery's negative terminal. Grounding wires are the foundation of all car's electrical system (ignition system, coil packs, spark plugs, lights, fans, stereo, air conditioner, cigarette lighter, etc). Resistance, in the form of electrical impedance, is the enemy of all car's electrical equipment. High quality grounding cables minimize resistance and help make sure that all of the electrical equipment in the car is performing as well as it can.
