Here is the list i did..

Replace the original 8" Sub with a new 8" DLS OA8 and a new amplifire
Replaced audi Concert II to Dynavin DVN-A4
S-Line Brakes
now im doing the roof and all the panels inside the car from gray fabric to alcatara
Carbon Pillars
B-Panel Carbon
the chrome panels outside are matte black and the one at the trunk is carbon
S4-Diffuser for the Dual exhaust
all the lights inside and outside the car are in LED
6000K D1S Bulbs OSRAM

Well first it depends on ife ure car is ready for the Engine heater, mine was so the work is a bit easier but u need to have ytime and do it good..
Took me about 50 hours to fix it.
well eather way it depends on wich heater you choose there are diefferent kinds, the one i got here did cost me about 500euros but i use the one for Diesel cuz i have a 2.0TDI
With that i got a small control panel with a display where i can set the time morning and night.
it uses a veeery small amount of battery so that it can start up and heat the engine.
now i work allmost everyday from 09:00 to 19:00 si i changed it from 08:00 to start and shuts down when the car starts up and same thing after work :D
a Friend of mine did help me very much to fix this i got so angry with all the cables hahah.. he did it on his Audi A6, so he knew how to do it thats why it only took me 50hours, otherwise it can take up to more than 100hours if you take it easy and it is the first time you do it.

Not a simple one then! I might look into it over the summer so I'm ready for next winter lol

lenti, you got anymore info on this heater thing pics n that like?

The heater thing sounds interesting. I want more info!!!

The auxilliary heater is a factory-fit option usually only available in ultra-cold climates, i.e. Scandinavia. I see Lenti is based in Sweden, which is probably why he was able to retro-fit one to his car. I suspect it already had additional fittings ready for the heater that UK-specced cars won't have.

50 hours to fit?!?! Really??

yes, i had mine allready there so the only "big problem" was to place all the cables, thats why it took about 50hours, it needs to be good

yes, but it would take me ALOT of time if the connections and all its things werent there, the it would take about 100h or more...
it is not a difficult job but it requires time

Don't think you will se so much difference there looks like a normal 2.0TDI engine beacuse the cover, covers about 90% of everything
i did not take any pictures on that beacuse it would be over 100 pics on the work.. and i didnt think about it so much after 10 hours work i got so mad i didnt have any nerves left so my friend did help me haha..
