My TTRS.

Post by turboDean » Tue Aug 22, 2017 1:08 pm

New to the forum, but had my TTRS for just over a year now, this is what ive done so far:

Started with some machine polishing, used a DAS 6 with meguairs microfibre cut pad and microfibre compound.
Still quite and bit left to do and refine with a fine polish, but here are a few pics:
This was the car a few weeks after i got it:
Image
And an interior pic:
Image

Before polishing pics:
Image
Image

After pics:
Image
Image

And the rear lights:
Image

Also fitted a set of OEM Audi carbon mirrors and wrapped the fuel flap gloss black.

Image
Image

Fitted a bigger intercooler, had to clean all the plastic parts behind the bumper while it was off lol
Before:
Image
After:
Image

Also removed the bar in the bumper:
Image

And the new intercooler fitted:
Image


Tried to wrap my splitter gloss black, epic fail, too big and awkward to wrap on my own and i made the mistake off taking all the backing off at one time, it was sticking to everything (kitchen table, fridge door)
I managed to do the small part in the middle of the splitter though:
Before:
Image

After:
Image

Gloss black centre caps and wheel nut covers fitted and plasti dip the rear badges.
Got to do the front badges now and also get some red vinyl to put back in the RS badge.

Image

Image

Had some bad scratches on my passenger headlight, so wet sanded them out as best i could and then polished.

Some of the scratches:
Image

After wet sanding:
Image

After a polish:
Image

Also had a few deep scratches on the bonnet that weren't coming out by just polishing, forgot to take before pics.
After wet sanding with 2000 grit:
Image

After 1st stage of polish:
Image

Also fitted gloss black audi rings and plasti dipped the TTRS badge in black, not put the red back in yet as the red vinyl I order is not the right colour its a bit too pinky.

Great job, looks lovely. not least that interior.

Wet sanding was interesting too, did you need to take some brave pills before attempting it?

Yeah was my first time doing it so was a little nervous, particularly on the headlight...

Looks ace. Isn't that bar you removed for crash protection though?

Yes the original crash bar is removed and replaced by a modified one to allow room for the larger intercooler, all the after market coolers seem to either remove or modify the crash bar.

Or did you mean the bar I removed from the bumper? That is just plastic.

The rear arms and subframe had quite bad surface rust so rubbed them back, rust primer then painted black.
Also fitted new rear discs and pads and had red goodridge hoses fitted.

The inside of the drivers rear disc was a right mess:
Image
Image

New C hook Discs :D
Image

Fitting was a nightmare the calipers were pretty badly siezed and really struggled to get the pistons back, over the winter im gonna remove them, strip and rebuild them, but all back together for now:

So had a Stage 2 Map by Litchfields, went on the dyno today and made 439bhp and 451ft/lb.
They have also mapped in some mild crackles and pops on overrun and got it so when in Sport mode the exhaust valve stays open.
