Let me introduce myself!
I am Rams from East London / Essex
I am now the owner of a B7 Audi A4 140bhp which I purchased for a bargain price from a (now ex) colleague who has emmigrated to Australia for £1400 (with half a tank of diesel!!!)
The car was involved in a minor shunt last year resulting in a Cat D - the car needs a door and minor repair to the quarter panel - the prevoius owner got paid out for the accident and decided to keep the car as the damage was cosmetic
I had my eyes on this car for a while as his permanent move from the UK has been on the table for a while now. He was the 2nd owner of this car in 2006 and paid over 21k for it from Audi. Since then it has packed up some serious miles but on the plus side it has been to Audi for everything! It had a cambelt and service last July - It needed an MOT which it flew through last week (just needed a number plate bulb)
Not many extras were fitted to the car apart from bluetooth (including the ugly phone cradle!)
The other cars I own include a V6 4motion Golf (with a TT engine) which I use as a track car
I am a bit of a whizz kid with VCDS / diagnostics so hope my stay here will be a welcome one
I have attached some pics of the beast
I plan to do the following:
I have already started the subtle mods - OEM Rear number plate LEDs from the A5 Cab as well as giving her a clean. I am hoping to give the interior a "proper" clean once I souce some replacement seats
the car will be used as a daily - i do around 200 miles a week and I plan to get something newer at the end of the year (A5 Black Edition is the hot favorite!) I am hoping to keep this as a 2nd car / runabout
I hope someone can help me source or point me in the right direction for the above bits!
Thanks for reading this

I plan to do the following:
- Retrofit RNS-E
- Replace the tired seats with something leather / half leather
- Tidy the bodywork up a little (repair the damage to the door and quarter)
- Some of the Alu trim is a bit tired
- Replace the interior bulbs with LEDs
- Replace the instrument cluster with a colour DIS
- Retrofit Xenons
