Hi all. Just signed up here as the previous forum I was on has died a death. I'm based in Burton On Trent and I noticed there are a few Staffordshire users on here. So just wanted to introduce myself.
I bought my 2012 Audi A1 in June 2016 and it looked like this at the dealership:
It came with the following spec - Privacy Glass, A.S.S, Sat-Nav via SD, Cruise Control, Keyless Entry/Start, Xenons, RMC MMI with 2 SD slots.
Looked a bit high to me! So I bought some H&R Springs to lower it 35mm and also some H&R Blackdrive spacers (15mm rear - 10mm front) as the wheels sit quite tucked under the arches. Afterwards it looked like this:
Very happy with the looks now, but I thought it could be even faster! So I took it to my local company CC Tuning and had a Stage 1 remap to take it up to 210bhp. I also had the S-Tronic box tuned to give quicker changes and set the change points slightly earlier in both S and D (Sport and Eco-Drive). Goes like stink now!
Then just this week I decided to get my 18 inch rotors powder-coated in gloss black, the edges diamond cut back to silver and the calipers painted. I went for green in the end after umming and ahhing over red or gold instead. Also bought some black Audi centre-caps off eBay. So now it looks like this:
I know the wheels might not be to everybody's taste, but I love them!
That's as far as I'm up to right now. I'll get a stainless exhaust system once it needs doing. Can't justify binning the old one yet with nothing wrong with it.
Nick.
