[chris1988brown]

shiggins92- i got the tow bar from ebay and the rack from my mates bike shop peddlers but are also available on ebay, i mounted the electrics in the boot so as u can see form the pics one the tow bar is detached you cant notice it has one

 

[nally]

[jb0o]

Looking sweet mate. Seen the car around the area a few times, a real head-turner!

 

[N8]

Was gonna say where have you been? Your car has always been one of my favourites from this forum Nice to see you back fella

 

[rockape]

Very nice. Roof looks cool and Im liking those plates. Where did you get them?

 

[TDI140]

chris brown

if you decide to get an s3 front bumper dibs on your s line bumper if you want to sell it buddy ???

 

[Goner]

Nice motor, where have my RS4's gone?

 

[Ash187]

lovely car mate! im not so sure on the silver Ch and the rest being black. maybe shadow chrome or titanium on the alloys?

the roof certainly looks good too mate, would you consider getting that rear spoiler done carbon as well?

 

[chris1988brown]

rockape- i got the plates from a online show plate maker cant remamber the name
tdi140- complete bumper-wings-headlights-bonnet-grill maybe up forsale next year if all goes to plan
aiden - i damaged 1 wheel and was proving difficult to get a exact replacement so just bought new wheels
itwasntme187- wheels will be going a diffrent colour if they get damaged, still toying with spoiler but few other things are going carbon

cheers for comments guys

Over all the results are fantastic the ride quality hasn’t got any worse, there is no body roll on the car comin into or in the corners, the turn in is so much sharper and there is no engine movement thanks to the lower gearbox mount all together feels alot more planted to the road and gets the power straight down
C&C welcome
Cheers chris

 

[Gavin0478]

looks fantastic, id be tempted to black the center of the front splitter and poss the side rub strips in carbon wrap.

 

[Scott]

Looks good mate!

 

[audigex]

Absolutely gorgeous car - although I'm not feeling the silver alloys with the black grille and roof, I'd prefer them in anthracite.

 

[cloughy]

Sweet car and nice DH rig, good work!

 

[bagey]

[chris1988brown]

[chris1988brown]

well i for one am very pleased with Teesside Audi's service today, took my car in for the injector recall, got 4 new injectors, free car health check, free MOT which it sailed through and a free wash and valet and the best bit is i now have 0.3 bar more boost pressure, and my slight missfire in 6th under load has gone and my bad starting in the cold has gone, the car now drives so much smoother and pulls a hell of alot better

 

[N8]

Nice one Chris!!

 

[jb0o]

Glad to see someone has had a positive experience at Teesside Audi. Wearside Audi gets my vote everytime.

 

[dex140]

[chris1988brown]
