Evening all I've previously been on over vag forums and have always done a thread on what changes I have done on my car to help anyone else out looking at doing the same, So here we go,
So new car was brought in December last year with the intention off getting a big car on airride, spec of car is a 2012 2.0tdi 177bhp cglc engine s line trim, (if I could I would have gone to a 3.0 bitdi) but for me this was to cheap to miss out on, I ran the car with not doing to many things for the first couple of months and have now started the changes if anyone else has the c7 pre face-lift s line trim I have found some parts are very had to get or just do not exist so hopefullythis thread will help out anyone else, so first of all I wanted to change the front grill I wanted and rs style but with out the quottro section at the bottom and couldn't find this any where apart from China (with a 8-12 week wait) so after looking Non stop I found a genuine rs6 grill and jumped at it, with the bumper having to be removed I also ordered lower splitter as can do both jobs in one hit, (splitter was just a maxton design version 2 )
ok the grill was not a straight fit as the rs one had a couple more screw fixings which I just removed with a small dremel, splitter was an easy fit just had to make some small holes in the under tray part that slots into the bumper ( to get access to tighten bolts) also number plate are held on with a quick release clips ( brought of eBay )
Couple of weeks later it was time for wheels now I have a set that I want but funds and car suspension do not allow for me to get at the moment so iv I decided to get a daily wheel with the intention of the other set later on, what I decided on was a set of ispiri isr6 20" 8.5j front and 10j rear when fitting the wheels maxton design side lips was fitted at the same time,
After fitting wheel I wasn't to happy with the front as they just get swallowed up in the arch, ( tyre size was 255 35 20 on the 10j and 235 40 20 on the 8.5j) so I called the company where I got them from and order a set of 10j for the front and am much happier now
So final spec on the wheels are now ispiri isr6 20" et 35 10j all round with 255 35 20 tyres on all,
And this is the car up to date at the mo I have other bits in the garage awaiting to go on, ( oem heated seats / air ride / exhaust with rs rear bumper ) plus more bits in the pipe line, I'm always open to advise if anyone else has the pre face-lift on where to source parts and am happy to help anyone that want/needs advise where I can give it,
Looking forward to get to some of the shows/meets and get to meet other members
