Thought it was the right time to start a little build thread this is my daily runner so things whont happen as fast as I'd like!!

This is my first Audi and I have to say I love it the drive is superb compared to my previous car. So far I've only done a few little cosmetics nothing major but have a few plans with what is like to do!

I purchased the car on 21/07/2015 and didn't do anything for a few weeks. I then decided I'd buy some wind deflectors!



Before:





After:







I then decided I needed some new plates so ended up buying a set that I love my last names knight hense the plate





Next little thing was to make the car look slightly cleaner and not cluttered so debadged the car!

Before:



After:



Sorry it isn't as a good read as most yours and things whont happen as quick but I'll get there a few mods in mind so watch this space!!

C+C welcome

Similar to mine, pressed plates and LED's do prefer yours without the GB though, got a link and how did you mount em?

Velcro worked well for me.

I'm thinking of getting some lower power LED's though

These are what I've got couldn't recommend this guy highly enough fast response and dispatch he sends out the sticky pads to fit them which is what I used and had not problem with them!

Looks really good!

I'd dechrome those strips where the fog lights should be. Wrap them matt black or plastidip.

I imagine it comes off separately or the whole plastic moulding comes off and you can wrap or plastidip (or paint) the chrome part.

Well another little update nothing major springs going on the car next week!
But until then I decided to paint my calipers!! Used the Dremel to get all the crap off the calipers used 3 coats on the front and 2 on the back!

Before the Dremel

I also organised a meet last Saturday and we had a brilliant turn out with some brilliant pics! Here are a few!
