Had this just over 2 weeks now, very pleased with it, bought it with 37500 miles on the clock, first service done at slough audi, just coming up to its 2nd one!

Spec is
2.0 TDi 170 S line
Full S line Leather interior
Brilliant Black (i believe)
4 Brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 3s

So Far:
MY11 Tinted Tail Lights
Led Number Plate Lights

Plans:
Retrofit Armrest
Map/Ambient Lighting from the Headlining
Retrofit 8P2 Bi-Xenon Headlights
Maybe RNS-E If one comes up at the right price!


Here are a few next to my old pug from when i 1st got it home and gave it a quick clean with some AG SRP. Also there are some from after i fitting the MY11 Lights.

Awaiting a £75 order from cleanyourcar.co.uk before it gets a proper detail but for now its clean enough for a few weeks.

Many thanks to Nigel (NHN) who supplied the lights at a lower rate than Audi direct including swift postage.

Hopefully more to follow soon!

Thanks

Car is really cool, Buddy. The MY11's make such a difference to the overall look, for sure. Have fun with your new detailing gear, looks like you're pretty handy with it anyway.
 
Nice car mate and welcome to the forum, agree about the MY11 lights, completle update the rear, they were my first mod too-well worth it.

Hi everyone these my11 are the upgraded rear lights if I'm correct, and where do people buy these from. Are these the LED type ones..

Haha, silly me! Still, 37k is some going. Think I only got 14k on a long life service from my 140 but it was a quattro.

Very tidy looking car mate. I may see you around then I live just outside of Yate (moving there soon) but misses live's there, I work out of depo in Brimsham and went to Sodbury school so all friends are that way too. If you need some work done (tuning, electrical, retrofits, vagcom etc) I have a mate who's a VAG specialist just up the road too.

I'll keep you in mind mate, need someone with good vagcom knowledge to turn on my alarm chirp and auto window closure from remote etc.
Mrs lives just on stover road mate so i literally am half a mile down the road!
 
Hopefully getting a LCR splitter this afternoon, what you guys think about colour coding it before it goes on?

I can do the Bi-Xenon install for you mate. Did it on mine just over a month ago with everything working fine.
 
Right chaps, a few updates, some recent some were done a long while ago!

No pic of this but I got a leather armrest from audi and fitted that easy enough, much nicer driving position with it I have to say.

Did a model deletion on the rear, but left the all important TDi bit on ;)

Got the ambient light headlining trim with the reading lights and red LEDs in and popped that in. It is plug and play btw for those of you that want to do it and is an easy job. It leaves a red glow over the radio, hvac unit, gear stick and handbrake area, very subtle but very :hubbahubba::

IMG_0113.jpg


Here is how it stands at the moment, although the wheels look almost black currently lol excuse iphone pic:

Plans for 2012:

S3 Diffuser and Skirts
BiXenon Retrofit
Cruise
FBMFSW
Cupra Splitter (got already but not fitted yet)
Maybe RNSE Mk2 if funds allow!
Pescara Audi alloys, found a few sets but people always beat me to it lol
 
Bit of an update, picked these up and got them fitted and cleaned up last week:

IMG_6361.jpg


They are oem versions 8P0601025R ET54 7.5J

All 4 could do with a refurb as the all have very slight kerbing on the lips but for now they do me fine!

Ive got the facelift gloss black B pillars on order so they will be on within a few weeks as well as rear oem style tints hopefully too!
