New 3.0 tdi a5 owner n.Ireland. Hi!

[Tez_14_2000]

Just wanted to say hi.
I recently signed up to the forum.

I moved from my accord type R I had for 7 years to a 3.0tdi a5 a couple months back which I found in the south of England.

Car was pretty boring but we'll spec'd inside and in great condition... And most importantly... Red. Lol

Since then I've done a bit of work to try and spice in up a little.

I'm in the car bodywork trade so was able to do most of this stuff myself.

I fitted:
1" H&R springs.
H&R spacers.
20%rear tints.
50%front tints.
S line rear bumper and apron.
S line skirts.
New floor mats.
Rs4 pedals.
Had all chrome wrapped black.
Debadged the rear and painted the rear audi badge black.
Resprayed the front bumper due to chips.
Fitted a new milltek system.
Stage 1 revo map.

I've also just had the car fully machine polished and sealed with gyeon prime coat.

The most recent thing I've done is made a front splitter for it and fitted that (bottom pic)

Really happy with how the car looks and sits now...altho I'm changing rear spacers from 20mm to 25mm because I feel the fronts look better spaced than the rears.

Here's a few of the most recent pics I have-

So that's where I am at the moment with the car, would like a solid shifter for it too, but funds have vermouth so dried up lol. So maybe in the future.

In any case, hello!
I look forward to getting into the forum, I loved the banter in the old accord type R forum and had loads of help to give and get from the forum...so hoping to enjoy this one as much!

Terry.

Hi guys, I'll get a look into the local stuff thanks!

Haha, not really a Honda influence, wouldn't want to take a Japanese styling approach to a European car... I found images of different splitters that I liked but would never afford (some were between $1000-1600!!! Could.imagine the import etc on top of that too!)and took ques from those to make one that suited me and fitted the non sline bumper
