Hey Monte - thanks for your kind words. I'm seriously loving the car...
Car is completely standard, not lowered - think it's just the angle of our driveway. Spec also standard for E30 - it was just a lovely clean example, with new tyres/brakes, priced well at VW approved used with FSH etc. Ideally would have liked zenons and satnav (but figured they were both nice to haves rather than essentials, and I'll likely upgrade to the latter at some point).
Really appreciate the advice on mods - love that stubby aerial! Could be my first mod this week...
I'm on info-gathering mode at the moment as my plan is to drive it as is for a few months and then start down the slippery slope at the beginning of the summer. My friend has a Pirelli edition that's been remapped and it's immense - so I'll definitely be going down that route too.
Initial thoughts on mods shopping list (in advance of thorough research on this site) are:
Engine/DSG remap
Exhaust (I'll look into Blueflame as I originally had Millitek on the list)
Induction (I'll take another look at the ITG too as I was steering towards the Forge Twintake - admittedly out of lust not knowledge!)
RNS510 (or similar as standard thing isn't the best)
Matt black finish on Pescara wheels (TBC)
Given your comments on R32/S3 brake upgrade it sounds like I should lalso ook into that. I actually thought the stock brakes were pretty decent (last car was a E92 320d M-Sport) but I guess they're probably not that decent for 300bhp! Can see this site is going to cost me a fortune... Some gorgeous cars on here though
