My A3 8P TDI build

[Star2k8]

Hi had car since Nov but had a few niggles after warranty ran out (sods law) having to pay for the flywheel going and MOT :/
Now finally have the spare money to start having fun so will be updating soon.

Nice car!

 

[Star2k8]

Just a small addition/update.
Had my resin number plates (private) & LED plate lights fitted, looking alot more fresh and tidy.

 

[Star2k8]

Another update.
With the exhaust tip on show and looking rusty & tired and lettng fown the rear I finely got it in for a stainless catback system with 4" slash cut, well happy with the results.
And should help out with performance a tad once I get the rest done Happy days!

Looking forward to this thread! Ihave a 2.0TDI Quattro black edition...only basic stuff done so far, but excited to see what you do

 

[Star2k8]

Glad to see a follow diesel owner.
Yes have alot planned for it, but next is replacing the window seals because for some reason even though it's a rather new car there very bad/bubbly.
Ordered and pick them up tomorrow

 

[Sayam]

Boys I'm a diesel owner too so keep us posted!

Deffo post regarding the window seals, mine are pretty average and I didn't know you could change them!

Great looking car, another TDI owner here!
Exhaust looks good and makes a difference to the rear, liking the LED number plate bulbs too

 

[Star2k8]

Thanks man! Defo money well spent

Just been to Audi to get my new window seals also got new fog light grill as a stone seems to of punched a hold through the N/S one.

Thanks. Yes it's the ones across where the window slides down/into door and then the triangle trim on rears doors was 120 for the 6 bits. Mine is the 140CR yes

Star2k8 can you please tell me the exact model and size of those rims and the tires as well? I have an Audi A3 2009 2.0TDI same color and with a panoramic black roof. There rims would fit perfectly on my car..

Hi.
There the A3 Black Edition wheels not sure what the Width/ET & PCD was now I haven't had the car for awhile.
They based on the design of the RS4 but a smaller Dia/ET/Width... they 18" in Audi Titanium Grey.
