Very nice what size are your wheels? They look like 18s

Love the bumpers, are they s3?

And the lights are quality was they a straight swap for old to new?

Thanks bud

The Alloys are R8 Reps in 18's - in 225/40/18

The front lip: vortex splitter

The rear: Lower bumper part replaces with s3 valance and the s3 diffuser. They come in 2 parts

 

[Smarter carper]

Tidy mate Is the rear valance oem part or after market?

Tidy mate Is the rear valance oem part or after market?

All OEM - Purchased from Audi Stoke

The front splitter can be purchased - i only put it on as i found it for cheap £40 and stuck it on. But im on the look out for an s line bumper when ££ available

@ ray.81 very nice love the black grill and the s3 mirrors
@discostu49 nice rims fella and the cheeky red calliper poking out look very nice.

I have a sportback myself still standard but have my plans but looking here for ideas also

 

[Mat1987]

mine after a nice clean

 

[Smarter carper]

Very nice attention to detail mat1987 love the mirrors with the indicators in, did you remove the indicators from the wings or is that how later models come??

@syko what are your plans so far

I want to remove the bumper strips and door strips and flush it all for a clean look and I'm looking for some nice side skirts, and toying with the black grill idea

Anyone know the best paint for the grill ??
I read somewhere plasticote is the best stuff for durability

Here's mine

 

[Smarter carper]

I want some of these

 

[Smarter carper]

@TomL83 looks mint love the blue too, it looks different in every light and the rims set it off nicely, do you have anything else planned

 

[Mat1987]

i believe that's how the later models came

 

[TomL83]

Yeh it's Scuba blue and really fell in love with the colour. It's a 2 litre TFSI petrol which is 197bhp, so I'm looking at getting it remapped and a stainless steel exhaust fitted possibly later next year. I'm thinking about taking it to a detailer to get a minor paint correction done as it does have some light scratches which will look mint then. Also both front alloys have some curbing so looking to get them done aswell.

 

[Smarter carper]

I thought the mirrors looked aftermarket, thanks for the info

 

[TomL83]

i believe that's how the later models came

Yeh mines 2011 and has the indicators on the wing mirrors

 

[syko]

Looking at
Led rear lights
S-line or s3 facelift
Rs3 rear
New wheels but undecided which I've been looking at xxr530 and oe rims
And take it to stage 2 maybe 2+

 

[Smarter carper]

Sounds good @TomL83 mines the same in a quattro and want to end up with a stage three monster lol I've found a company online that will custom make a full stainless exhaust from turbo back and it's half the price of the milltech one can send you a link if you like ;-)

I've done a bit of research and with the exhaust and map they should achieve somewhere in the region of 280 with a cold air In take, that will be first port of call for me then big turbo after brakes and suspension

 

[Mat1987]

Well worth getting a map done as it transforms the car! Im going stage 2 after crimbo as just in the process of sorting the downpipe out as currently have a Milltek cat back and Unitronic air intake

 

[TomL83]

Here's some inspirational pics Iv found

I would love these wheels and brakes on mine:

Sent let me know you've got it as I couldn't send a PM so started a conversation (still working out how to get around the forum lol)

 

[Smarter carper]

[Smarter carper]

[foxymk1]

[discostu49]

[Smarter carper]

I was thinking more serial killer with the murdered look ;-) lol

 

[Smarter carper]

Nice mod looks really good mate, my missis wants to do the lights front and back for the tube style I would like to do the backs but have the projector type at the front and want to keep them as it was one thing I wish I changed on my mk4

 

[foxymk1]

haha, take a look at my build thread in my sig pal mine is a 55 plate with the 2010 face lift if your looking for inspiration

 

[Veedubnoodle]

Cheers mate. Yeah she's on a full Airlift V2 Performance kit. Best thing I've done to it bar the map. Means it looks good at the shows but I'm not scraping over everything on a daily basis (lots of speed ramps round my house)

Makes sense how much did it set you back if you don't mind me asking

Think it was about £2400 if I remember rightly. Been paying it off monthly so it's been easy enough on the wallet

Fair play mate might have to be coilovers to start and
Maybe go that way in the future, your stance is worth it mate it looks amazing
