@BabyAudi - ITB's mean Individual Throttle Bodies 
a Turbo is nice and all but if i were you i would stay with the A3 8L shape maybe if you would prefer to upgrade then its your choice.If you do decide to change you going to lose your special colour :-( As for the rims, Merc alloys are cool and all but i prefer the open spoke rims etc (RSTT's,S3's,S4 Avus's,etc) I also prefer OEM as Audi do make some sick wheels Keep well Bro

AMG rims, DOOOO IT! ! !
did a little searching and found this, i know it's not an A3 but Mk4's have very similar lines and share the same platform as A3. Also 5 door as well :thumbsup:
these are the split rim ones tho, i'd imagine you'd need a bit of coin for these and possibly arch work? specially if you're going that low!

@ BabyAudi - Like your thinking mate
yeah you might just keep the baby those Merc rims look good + Great lip on them, but you will have to do quite abit of work to make it look like that....... Google search 20v ITB's and read up buddy, there are many diff kinds and makes aswell. Everything in life runs down to the bank which sucks! haha keep well buddy have a great eve

ITB's aint gonna be cheap man, but they'll be worth it just for the noise... nothing better than pure NA induction raw! I don't know if the standard ECU will be able to take a popper ITB map tho, if not, engine management aint cheap either! if you're thinking of goin down that line it'd probably be worth while getting the head done as well to maximise flow, i.e port polish, 3 angle valves, high lift cams.
It'd be interesting to see what can be achieved from an NA 20v, dont think it's really been done much. It'd follow suit with uniqueness of you're merlin purple 5 door as well!
No doubt there are a lot of people on this forum that know a lot more than me about this sort of thing tho... Either way, +1 for the AMG rims! I know they're not VAG but i think they look awesome and are still technically OEM, not too over-stated.
Good luck with the build and what ever you decide to do but as always, it's basically gonna come down to how much £ you wanna throw at it, however you have the potential and ideas for a completely unique car here! :thumbsup:

Air Ride........now that is a pricey topic + just get a decent set of coilies buddy + Air ride systems are heavy and thats what you dont want, unless you want a show car but im sure the AMG's are going to look awesome bro especially purple my favourite colour by far!! do it purple centre's with a touch of metallic glitter iMO. Cheers buddy
