Got it in Dec but never got round to cleaning it and getting any pics of it. Not quite sure if I want to keep it yet, just depends how much I can insure an Evo 9, S4 or E46 M3 when my insurance is up for renewal.
2007 Audi A4 2.0 TFSI S Line, Lowered 50/35 on eibach springs is the only mod so far. If I keep it then I'll get it de-catted, carbon airbox and a re-map, should be good for about 270bhp then.

Not meant to say anything. Wanted one to hide the age of the car (2007) Theres an A6 with XX09 XXX on the plate near me and I quite fancied an XXX one myself, but the only one with a leading X was that one. £240 so cant grumble really

I wont lie, I thought it looked gangster too lol. Only way I could justify a private reg was to say I wanted to hide its age lol.

Looks spot on that, ride height is perfect & the plate sets it off i think.
With all that extra gubbins you are planning it would be a cracking car, keep it.

this basically, they did this shape a4 on a 55 plate so it now looks like a 55 plate a4
EDIT: Nice motor though

Yeah I have had a few people ask If its a 55 lol so I keep on the lookout for XX** XXX but its not a major concern.
Yeah I'm starting to think I'll keep this for another year, as an Evo 9 or M3 is looking like £4000 to insure and I cant justify spending that much on insurance. Was bad enough paying £1200 for this! I guess 22 with only a years NCB doesnt fair well with insurance companies lol.
Yup still road planing Danny, had a good year last year so thought I'd treat myself as I couldnt get a good rate on a mortgage. Just waiting for it to kick off again this year so i can start earning some proper money again and start saving for a house again!

I think 19"s with 12mm spacers would give it a better stance. Been looking at RS4 reps as i dont want it to look like a scene style aftermaketed up car. Only other body mods i fancy are de badge the rear, brushed alloy mirror caps and an LCR splitter to bring the front end a little bit lower.

Fair play to you mate, still fixing bikes on the side, keeping in with it?
And you wont get a good rate on a mortgage until youve got that magic 15/20% in cash

I had one of these. Loved the interior as it was so solidly built.
I had the same mods to mine too except the decat.
Be cautious when getting an exhaust. Mine droned like a bitch on the motorway.
