Rear lighter socket
I have mine wired in using a ignition switched live from the fuse box. You can get hardwire kits such as https://goo.gl/Pwv7Li I have never used these but they seem really safe and easy way to do it. IMO if I could do mine again I would use one.

My take on a Audi 8P
Just picked this up mid October 2017. Have some plans in my head already of what to do. Already scrapped the black paint from the grill, got some 5 spoke 18s, Hekos, Pressed metal plates. Want to have a look for some inspiration so if anyone has any ideas of what to do next let me know :)

Gaming!
I play PC when ever I'm not down the bodyshop. Mainly PUGB and CounterStrike. Although even that's only once or twice a week :/ Link to my current build https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/Zfr6Mp Although I got rid of the old PSU and Rainbow cables for a nice EVGA unit with black sleeving. The Corsair LED fans are now gone for replacement by some Noctuas :D If you want to hit me up on Steam then my user name is either iTz_Mattyyy or xXHellaFlush (Can't remember which one you need to type in same accout) Matt

Dual mass flywheel
I imagine it's just the flywheel going mental as it's being asked to do a hell of a lot. DMFs are notorious to be rubbish on any car and when you have a mapped engine and plant your foot in a high gear it's just too much for them to handle. I would just be a bit more driver friendly on the flywheel especially as it's gotta deal with even more power. I could be wrong but just my 2p worth

Will an '08-'12 front sline bumper fit an '04-'08 A3?
As Steve said the bumper will fit. It's just getting it to fit well. You'll defiantly need obvs a bumper and a bonnet. Wings I'm not 100 on but I don't think you need to change them?? Also need the plugs for the new foglights and need to wire them up to the cars loom I'm looking to do the same conversion at some point

1.9 tdi 30mm lowering
Can't really help you in terms of experience, but I have the same wheels on my 2.0tdi and I'm thinking a nice 35-40mm drop would look the dogs danglies! Wouldn't go any lower than 40mm, even then its a bit on the low side for daily use for me. Have you got a picture of your 205s fitted? I just got my wheels and was thinking of adding some stretch

A3 Lowering
Hey all, Looking to lower my A3 8P by around 30-405mm depending on how my new 18s fit. Seen a nice kit for around £400 to my door for a set of new Koni shocks and H&R springs as a combo. What's people's opinion on ride quality versus a pair of cheap branded coilovers? Also has anyone got a picture of there A3 lowered? Just to get some inspiration. Cheers

Audi A3 8P Single Din to Double Din
Okay I think I've worked it out. I need an Audi double din cage which will allow me to fit the cage that comes with the head unit and it also provides a mounting and location for the climate control unit. I can either find a climate control that came out of a factory double din car so it will just slot in no worries. Or save some money and use my existing unit and trim it to fit. Something like 5-7mm of the sides. Just need to find out if the hazard switch and ESP will be in the same place. If not then need to work out if I need new ones from a DD car.

Audi A3 8P Single Din to Double Din
Hmm sounds like it should work. Would need to get the double din fascia to check how far down I need to move the controls. Or is just as far down as it will go enough? Cheers
-
Audi A3 8P Single Din to Double Din
Yes mate that's my plan. Only bit I'm confused about is how? Would I need to get the climate control unit from a factory double din car and just install that with a double din fascia and cage? Or is it a case of changing the whole dash? Etc

Audi A3 8P Single Din to Double Din
Hey all, Currently I have the single din radio installed in my car and was wondering if I could modify/swap any parts so I can install an aftermarket Android headunit? Is it just a case of buying all the pieces from a factory double din car? or is there wiring issues etc etc? Cheers Matt
