I have made the decision that we are upgrading our current car to a Audi A3 (8PA) 2003-2009 5dr Sportback 3.2 Quattro
We are after 4 doors and something fun to drive and mod
the write ups on 3.2s tend to be a whole lot better than the 2.0s plus i would like the extra power.
Ideally Im after a white one (alternatively black or dark grey) and would like to lightly modify it with some 19s and gentle RS3 facelifts similar to that such as this beautiful little example: (I think im in love with it)

would also do the black grille and headlight upgrade if required.
looking to get 19" rims either Audi R8 Replicas or TSW Nurburgring
will they go straight on with the factory suspension?
it sounds like 19s might result in guard rub?
Also im curious to know as I havent been able to find it anywhere
did the 3.2s come factory with a turbo option? or is it relatively easy to upgrade?
I would like a manual one, but here in NZ we only have auto/tiptronic ones!!! wtf? grrr
also I would love the double moon roof one, but I have only seen 1 with a single sunroof
looking at buying in about 10 months time, Im thinking about possibly importing one, to get the dbl moonroof & manual option (im guessing the chances will be low?)
any kiwis that could give me advice on importation would be helpful
I have been busy reading the A8/Ap forum FAQs.
