Hey all, happy new year. I had a bit of time and decided to do a few more bits before my next MOT. Changed front discs and break pads to Brembos and used this opportunity to quickly get some spacers installed. 15mm front, 20mm back. Also got the K&N air filter intake that replaced the stock...

So.. someone stole one of my fog grilles. Anyone's got a right side for sale or know where to get one from that will arrive fast? The one with holes seems harder to find. See photo attached

Fixed. Took it to a local garage, they found a leak, basically a rubber ring somewhere.. total of £170 Gifted my dad the Groupon one whom coincidentally also needed a top-up after we both had to take our cars to the car wash when we met this weekend because on both of our cars there were cat...

@AlS3BE yes this is what he tried explaining. Sounds pretty legit, hopefully no leak but it did seem a bit sudden. I've bought that groupon that Nathan suggested and will see what they say. Thanks for that

Man this is so helpful, thanks a lot!

So I realised that my A/C isn't blowing out the cold air that I'd like for the 30º+ weather and took it to a garage on Sat to get it checked out. I didn't have much time to look around and these guys were going to do it within the next 2 hours. Used to take my previous car there but I always had...

Not much.. added a baby car seat nearly 3 months ago!

Hey man, the back requires a curved badge, got it on ebay: Audi A5 Gloss Black Rear Boot Badge Curved Rings Logo Emblem 192x68mm The front was bought on etsy but can probably be found on eBay too. Mine was the 273x94mm gloss black

Small paint correction and polish + callipers painted in a yellow/orange shade.

Stage 1 done today, now at roughly 230bhp. Thanks to @THQuattro and the lads at JF Automotive. A photo to celebrate

Got black badges on but removed the paddle shift extensions (for now) as one fell off.. I did have a feeling that they might.

Thanks man! I've always been a fan of black wheels. Deffo harder to keep clean but it looks mean! Not into blings!

Thanks @robtaylors Can anyone recommend a decent remapping place near East London? I was going to have Fastlane Styling in Romford do Stage 1 for £350 but kinda decided against it as they didn't use a dyno or anything like that? Thoughts?

I went for the Garmin Mini Dash Cam. Like you, I wanted something that I'd forget I even had. Had a friend help me hardwire it and can't even see it from the driver's seat. App allows for a quick addition of a rear camera if needed. Will try to take some pics.

@EXSpartan36 thanks man! I was a bit unsure about the sportback as I liked the look of the coupe more but now I'm happy about it. The Plus makes it look really good! I fitted pedal shifter extensions. Wasnt sure about them or the red at first but I think they look really cool!
