I had a Golf V6 4motion as a daily but wanted something a wee bit newer, loved the V6 so this was the replacement.
The day I collected.
Went all the way to Ipswich for it, car is spot on, drove back 550 miles perfect.
A3 Sportback Sport, good spec, half leather, sat nav, bose, but the best bit is under the bonnet, 3.2 V6 Quattro.
I vowed that I would not get caught up in the modding spiral like I normally do.
That lasted two weeks, its a slippery slope
Two weeks after that, genuine S3 wheels refurbished in anthracite and a black optics grill
Then facelift led tail lights
Stupidly I had some holidays and needed to keep busy. Picked up a leather interior for it for a bit of a steal, probably cause its red.
The new front seats are heated so needed to upgrade the climate control as the heated seat controls are incorporated in the unit, so took the opportunity to install the facelift unit.
Felt the interior is a bit bland so as well as the climate unit, added a bit of bling in the form of light switch and pedals.
Also added an ipod kit and hid the ipod in the coin tray.
Finally had to replace the steering wheel, love the flat bottom wheels.
Bought AMG reps for the car but didnt really like them, so splashed out on genuine BBS RS-GT's
Lowered on coilovers.
S-line front bumper, facelift rear bumper
Also fitted the rear diffuser, sline black edition with honeycomb inserts.
Those shiney things poking out below are the end of the cat back non resonated milltek I had fitted a wee while back but had to extend the tailpipes to accomodate the new bumper.
