hey all. i've owned the car for about a year and do enjoy it immensely, although i am sometimes frustrated by a lack of power, but this should change with a remap coming soon (see below). I love the build quality of the audi, my ex had a bmw and i thought that was a well made car until i bought this! despite my gripes at the lack of power (mainly brought on by owning faster cars and my mates having scoobies) the car is quick, i always like to remind my mates that from A to B, especially around where I live in the Scottish Borders it's just as quick as their jap beasts, and immensely more comfortable! The main reason I went 2 grand over my budget and bought this car was that it was a quattro and I love how planted the car feels in both the dry and wet! that being said the body roll at speed can be too much sometimes. The only negative I can say with the quattro is the real-life MPG figures aren't impressive. I do have a heavy right foot from time to time but on a 6 month average of everyday driving (social and domestic use only Mr Insurance) i returned 33.3 MPG. The car currently is running on Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres, and is completely standard with no notable factory optional extras fitted.

 

Anyway that's enough of boring things like fuel economy. I have attached all the photos I've managed to take in a year of ownership (pretty pathetic amount tbh). I don't have the private plate on the car anymore that is my exes.

 

What I want to do:

 

This is where you guys come in. I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do to the car, but the application of the idea is where I ain't so great! Below is a list of "mods" (hate that word I feel like 17yr old boyracer even typing it!) I want to do to the car - any additions, subtractions or general comments would be much appreciated on them!!

 

  • Alloy refurb and colour change to either graphite or shadow chrome
  • Lowered on coilovers [not sure as to 40 or 60 drop and reputable brands, any ideas????]
  • I've read about RS4 anti roll bars being a good upgrade - any ideas?
  • Uprated brakes - i've done no research on this any ideas?
  • R8 style LED headlights
  • LED rear lights
  • LED fog light cluster
  • Exhaust system [again any ideas here guys and gals????]
  • Performance Air filter [brands etc???]
  • Remap (hoping for 205-215bhp)
  • Button Start (this is mainly cos i have a blank button missing next to the TCS button and thought it would be more interesting that putting a blank in)
  • Blue tint interior light replacement
  • Auto-folding wing mirrors
  • Cruise Control
  • Double din head unit with reversing camera [brands?]

I don't for one minute think I am going to get all of these done as my time isn't always free and my pockets aren't bottomless, but in an ideal world this is what I would have.
