Hello all,
I bought a 2011 S-Line 170 TDI A3 back in December. It had all the normal options and a few extras like park assist and start stop, quite high spec.....I've done a lot car builds in the past, but the A3 was my attempt at being sensible and ending that...It worked for a week or so
. Although it is a lot more tame than the previous ones .
So here is how it was when I picked it up:

I couldn't leave it alone, so over the last two months I've done:
Bi-xenon retrofit with auto levelers.
RNS-E retrofit.
Heated seat elements installed into the seats and Audi Q3 climate panel.
Puddle lights.
Door warning lights.
Front and rear footwell lights.
Front dome light with map lights.
Rear map lights.
Illuminated door handles.
T8ups LEDs.
Rear shades.
Flat bottom steering wheel.
S3 Aluminium pedals.
Audi Exclusive leather parts.
Removed the ashtray for the cubby with light.
20mm rear spacers.
De-badged rear.
Now it looks more or less like this. Still a few Exclusive leather bits to fit (Roof grab handles, sun visors and door handles), will get those in this month.

It's nearly there aesthetics wise. Performance is next.
