Philplop Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Bought this in January (the 13th, to be precise)Boggo spec 2.0 TFSI 200bhp FWD. Only option appears to be heated seats.Has the grey alcantara interior, which I prefer over the leather option.Had it remapped to about 245bhp. Transformed the car. Nice bit of poke behind it now.Anyway, a picture update of a car that looks the same in every photo. Stop off in Knaresborough on the way home from buying it.With the badges.With just the rings.All gone.Fitted some Xenon's that looked great and worked for a while, then threw up errors on the DIS and went off. Back to standards. Then bought some Ring Xenon-look bulbs but can't tell any difference.Drove to Holy Island. The tide was in. No causeway. Glad I was on this side. Yellow Lamin-X'd the foglights on the TT, my Dad's A6 and mate's Fabia.With the Caddy.Painted the tailpipes black.Went to the beach.Bought a spare grille and did it satin black. Fitted a pair of new number plates with sticky pads instead of horrible screws.Bought an RNSe.Fitted it and Cruise Control, with a tiny weenie bit of help from Jon 273...Eventually got round to painting the side grilles satin black to match the main grill, and fitted some 30mm H&R springs.And that's about it. It's obviously in desperate need of some wheels, but I've got other things to spend my money on at the moment. Hopefully will have some soon though. Then I'm done. Wouldn't mind a Multi Function Steering Wheel but always intended to keep the mods simple. Just wanted to keep it OEM.Very pleased with it though. Nice, fast, easy and comfortable to drive, pretty good on petrol, cruise control for long journeys, good stereo and satnav, handles well, big boot and looks smart.

Silver! Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Very nice! Looking good, but can you get your vanity case in the boot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) The boot is canny big, can get all sorts in there. I even bought a little net thing to stop my vanity case sliding around.I've just remembered I changed the number plate lights, interior lights and sidelights to LED's too.Activated coming home lights, turned off the seatbelt bonger, and activated hazard lights under harsh braking on VAGCOM.Little things to keep me occupied.

payna Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Looking good Phil, good to see it coming along. Any thoughts on rims yet or will it be a spontaneous decision? - you wheel whore you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I want to keep to Audi ones really, have thought about putting the Bentley's on, but don't want to drop down to the super low profile tyres that i have kicking about. One needs replacing, which is why they're not already on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupo-Joe Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Lovely car mate. Really like the de-badge and the red paint. I look forward to seeing more!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_lupz Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Love it, prefer the chrome front.Just think some different wheels would suit it better, just oem audi wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_273 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 About time you started a thread!Didn't realise you took any pics at mine. Fitting the cruise was a right pain! Managed to figure it out in the end though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 The grille looks better in person, but I must admit I was a bit unsure on the total black out look whilst walking towards it the other day. The cruise was a mega-bitch!I'd love it to be lower, but the 30mm is a nice height and still comfortable, and cheap. I can't see me keeping it for ages, so always planned to keep the mods simple. I'd like air on my next car though. The lupo hasn't gone yet, but I'll be advertising it shortly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 why did i think this was white? how much was the cruise? i wonder if my new thing has it as std Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Sometimes I wish it was white. Cruise was £110. Genuine kit with the stalk, steering wheel under cowl thing and a wire to patch into the ECU. Got it off eBay, but they only had it listed for A3's and TT's. They actually dropped the price to £100 straight after I bought it. I love the cruise control though, wouldn't be without it now. Is yours the one that you posted on Facebook a bit ago?

Philplop Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) My dad got some new wheels for his A6, and it would have been rude not to try them on. 19x8.5 et48 with 255/35/19. Since I couldn't keep them, I pinched his old ones. 18x8 et35 with 245/40/18. He's got a set of winter tyres for them though, so he'll be wanting them back. I'm actually thinking about selling it though. Make me an offer. Oh, and on the 170 mile drive to the in-laws it averaged 42mpg. Chuffed with that.
