Hi guys,
Thought I would start a thread, so you can start following some of the updates, mods and retrofits I will be doing on my new Audi A3 over the next few months. Thanks to all the help, videos and ideas from others on this forum, I have come up with the following list to get through over the next 3-6 months, if you could assist on a few questions below that would be awesome!
So here are a few pics:
Day of purchase after a wash, polish and wax
One week later, these arrived:
Fitted:
I love how the car is sitting now, the ride quality is a lot stiffer, cornering is 100x better.
The Retrofit of the Centre console speaker and D&M Space-saver subwoofer will take place this weekend and I will be following Tim's video and attempt to fit this myself. Then up to VAG next week to get it the MMI tuned to support it along with the other features unlocked. Hopefully the logbook will come back and I can get my private plates on:
I will keep you posted. Let me know your thoughts!
Cheers,
