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




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








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




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

Badges stuck on dash gets rid of the classy element,

Car is quality, bit of a mad colourchange, but cant beat audi's in that grey colour, v-nice, except the dash badges

Where did you get the Sumpguard from? I suspect my sump will end up with a hole in it soon.

Nice all the same though, really nice.

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

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

Awesome car.

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

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

Very very nice mate! only one thing spoilt it for me when it was yellow... It looks too high at the rear IMO. But in grey trim Looks awesome.

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 but the Audi felt better put together.

Would defo have another Audi in the Future.

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