thought I would introduce myself to the rest of the forum Neil,
My plans are to do the the looks first before performance, I'm going to colour change on a few bits and a few other things too, but I have ideas in my head what I'll do hopefully turn out good :), my first audi so sill learning about them.

Sounds perfect! No rush - do it at your pace and get it looking right ;) :beerchug:

Indeed mate, it's just once you start changing things the way you want it, you just want to keep going on, so have you done much to your car bud?

Yeah, I know that feeling!

I wanted to stay OEM when I got mine, but then you start reading about possible mods on this forum and you are off!

I've done a fair bit - not as much as most, but all my mods are in my signature. Alongside a bunch of services, oil changes, front DRC replacement and ensuring all is working ok - power box air flap etc. and replacing a cosmetic items like front sliding battery terminal cover and two sill kick plates.

Oh, and a altercation with a deer cost the insurance 3k for a new rear door and paint in January this year. At the time new front and rear bumper, bonnet and wing paint to get rid of stone chips and freshen...

So, not much since November 2013 when I got it!

You havent had your car long then, thats the thing you start reading up on forums and what other people have done and then it all starts from there and just keeps going, im probably going to keep mine OEM till next year and then start with the changes,

Oh deer bet that was a bit of a mess hitting one of them,

ive only had mine since may this year and all ive done is took it to the body shop to get all the stone chips and a couple of scraches sorted. and a new air intake as is was cracked. it will be good to meet people and see what people have done to there cars at audi in the park.
