A3 Conversion on Christmas Eve for a Present
« on: December 24, 2008, 04:27:31 pm »
As a Present for the girlfriend i thought i would make some changes to her new A3.

We have only had the car for a month or so, i nice clean A3 2.0TDI Sport,

The car was mapped in the first week  :smiley: she had a Lupo GTi before and although the A3 is great
its just not quite as sporty looking,

I wanted to upgrade the car without it looking to much, here goes my Xmas Eve -

Here are the Parts i have to fit -

S-Line Front Apron
S-Line Rear Apron
S-line Rear Spoiler
S-Line Grille
S-Line Steering Wheel
S-line Half Leather Seats
High Gloss Interior Inlays
18'' Genuine 8x18 RS6 Wheels
Eibach Sportline Springs


Car at 9.00 this morning -





Work begins -



Some of the parts ready to fit -









Rear Apron and Springs fitted , Front Ready to go on -




Front Fitted -



On to the Interior -




I dont really like badging cars what they arnt but as i had the S-Line front Grille (looks nicer and you cant remove badge)
i finshed with the Side Badges to match the front. Its not like im badging a 1.4 Golf as an R32.

Finished -






Just got to put clean the leather and final polish and im finished  :smiley:






Just got to hope she notices, im parking it around her mothers so when we go around for the Meal tomorrow
its sitting there :D

New Golf on the Way :D

Very tasteful conversion (as always), Rob :happy2:

The big question has to be: Did she notice all the mods, or just some, or none!?
