Yeah it was too high at the rear when it was yellow, because the coil-overs weren't fitted then.

Is that "dolomite grey" as used on Audi TT's etc? Far nicer than the yellow imo :cool:

Which do you prefer owning? Your new Honda or the Audi?



Cheers dude.

It's Dolpin Grey as used on the TT's etc...

If I'm being honest I prefer driving the ATR as it's much more fun :cool: but the Audi felt better put together.

Would defo have another Audi in the Future.

Considered them, but didn't think they would go with the Euro theme.

They are an American company so the shipping is quite high, but the kit is top quality and the service was great.

The car is now sold :( but I thought I would share the pictures with you to cheer me up.




The car as I bought it 2 and a half years ago




Drove the car round standard for a few months until someone drove into the front of it




So I had the lower valances colour coded and added a badge less grill






Fitted a carbon fibre intake




Saved up and got the alloys that I had always wanted














Decided that I didn't like the colour coded lower valances so I set about gathering and fitting the facelift parts ready for spraying in the future ;)










Made my own A-pillar boost guage pod and fitted chrome dial surrounds








Sprayed the door switch surrounds met black




Fitted a lower strut brace which was removed later :rolleyes:




Then someone decided to drive down the side of the car and not leave any insurance details.












So it was time for a change and a chance to colour code and smooth the car :D








Finished for now








Then I decided it was time for a change












After the bare metal re-spray




Window tints






Fitted a aluminium sump guard after wrecking the old strut brace on a badger :mad:




Fitted coil-overs






Fitted Recaro front seats as used in the Golf along with an S3 steering wheel





Some pictures before I sold her


Just a few pics :lol:
