Hi!
After selling my Vauxhall Astra GSI rep I'm wanting to upgrade in the car world to an A3 sport, and figured the best guys/girls to ask would be current owners and enthusiasts.
I've been looking at several different specs, and I think I have narrowed it down to the one I'm after. Ideally I am looking for a 2.0 TDI sport with either half or full leather. Year would be around the 2003-2006 region and mileage to be under 130000. Price also between £4-5k. But I do have a few queries.
My questions however are as follows,
1 - Is the 'Bose' sound system much better than the original, and if so how much would I be looking at to get the upgrade, fitting will be fine as I have a friend who is an audio fitter so just the parts.
2 - I know some of them come with the s3 styling kit, front grill/bumper and rear splitter. How much are these to purchase separately if the chosen model didn't have them already fitted. I.e second hand in the correct colour code.
3 - As I have never had a Turbo diesel I've only had petrol engines, would I still be able to fit a better sounding DV and better looking SS exhaust system or are these a waste of time on a diesel.
Thank you in advance for your help and when I do get my A3 I'll be sure to meet some of you on the local meets and shows. I'm from Sheffield so I'm sure there will be a pretty big audi scene across Yorkshire.
