Says it all in the title really, I've just bought a V reg 1.8T A3, love it to bits already and am well up for getting my mod on. Doing a few necessaries at the moment - just had a new front right tire, MoT, standard service. New front anti-roll bar links and bushings and getting the cam-belt done on Friday.
I thought I'd start with cosmetics as that's something I can appreciate just from looking at it. There's some rust bubbles on the roof rails and a wee bit on the roof itself, plus age related nicks, scratches and mini-dents so I was going to get that sorted, but that's kind of escalated into a full respray and I'm going to get it smoothed on the sides and front bumper (losing the side rails, not sure if that's the proper name for them?) cos I got a banging quote for it. Also getting the black plastic all round the bottom sprayed.
Eventually I want some BBS dares with the stretched tires and lowered, but until I have the funds I'll probs just refurbish the alloys already on there.
I guess I'd just like some suggestions on...anything really. Under the hood, general mechanic tweeks, aesthetics, so on, so forth. Cheers guys
Here's a pic of how it is now.
