Hello to you all. I've been lurking around this forum for some years and I think it's about time I contributed. I'm also a member of SCN and was on there quite alot when I owned an FR and a Cupra(both Leon 1p). I've now got a misano red 3 door A3 2.0 TFSI Sline. Had it for about 10 months now and tbh it's been a bit of an unlucky car. Anyway it's here to stay for the time being and I've done a few mods.
Sorry about the photos, but I had a crap camera at the time so here's how it started:
I then bought a set of 18" speedlines from a lad on
wheel-whores. They needed a bit of attention so off they went to
thewheelspecialist in Newcastle who split, powder coated them in black chrome and rebuilt them:
Before I could get them on someone decided to reverse into my front wing:sad1: So after driving it around like a shed for what seemed like months the insurance company got it sorted. A new wing and front spoiler were fitted and I had the rear bumper painted as there were some scuffs. The body shopalso fitted a black grill free of charge
Re-painted the calipers:
I also decided to fit some eibach sportlines(50/40 drop), added 10mm spacers to the rear and MY09 rear lights:
Not alot of mods I know but I want to keep it simple and OEM+. The car is going into Volksparts(Durham) on Thursday to have the KW shocks and spring kit fitted. The eibachs are terrible(lesson learned there) with the original shocks and the drop is way low on the back despite the offset. I'm getting next to no damping so going for slightly less drop (35mm) to increase comfort and give me a bit more clearence for the forthcoming snow lol.
Thanks for looking and look forward to adding to the site.
