Hi everyone! Loving the atmosphere on this site, everyone seems so helpful! Just wanted to introduce everyone to my car :)
Audi A3 Sportback 2.0 TDI Black Edition (170bhp). 70k miles
Loving the drive somfar. Hoping to freshen it up a touch...
RS3 grille (arriving tomorrow)
Black sline front wing badges
AMD stage 1 remap
Lowering 20-25mm (suggestions for springs appreciated)
And finally, either looking to sort the paintwork out or vinyl wrap. Seen some lovely colours on here, again, open to comments :)
Will upload a pic shortly, hopefully tomorrow
Thanks :)

Welcome to audi-sport.net. Glad you enjoying the forum. Look forward to the pics. For lowering the car get in touch with @DPM site sponsors. Damian will help you out there

Hi Rob,

Welcome to ASN.
Plenty of advice and help here,and if it's AMDTuning you're going to,they'll do a good job for you.
A lot of the work on my car has been done by them,and I can recommend them.

Finally some pictures of my dirty car! haha thanks for all the comments everyone :)

Few things on the to-do list:
Wheels resprayed (either RS3 black and grey or all black - opinions?)
Trip to AmD - Stage 1 remap and Eibach sport springs
Boring old service and cambelt change soon (Boooooo!!)
And last thing on the list for the next month or so is POSSIBLY a full wrap in Nardo grey, maybe gloss black roof to mix it up a bit

Yep I was really happy with my AMD stage 1 map and definitely agree with the Eibach Sportline springs, they're awesome. Unless you know someone who does it, wraps can be quite expensive (seen quotes of £2.5k) and I think nardo grey is one of the worst colours on a car but that's just my opinion ;)

good to hear you remap went well. How much do the springs lower the car? don't want anything too drastic! And that's interesting you say that about the grey. I see so many audis on here that colour! but each to their own

I think they will lower your Black Edition by 25mm or so. Worth speaking with Damian @ DPM.
Yeah just my opinion re nardo. I think Suzuka Grey is 1m times better, check it out:

Them 3 pics all look completely different shades of grey Don't worry dude, not rushing into it, full wrap is a little way down the list so i'll be thinking it over and over. Thanks for the suggestion though
