Not quite a Golf but sounds like a Golf - Audi wheels, H&R ultra lows

[smurfworth]

Basically I started out with a 2002 1.8T, which turned out to be such a problem child and having to spend almost every weekend working on. Anyway heres a picture of how that ended up.



So i had that for almost a year, and then got fed up of spending so much money on it and went out and bought a 2006 A3 2.0TDI 140.

I intended, like almost everyone else on here, not to modify or play with it and save for a S3 8P like I've always wished for. Famous last words ay. This is how it looked back then.







I then started looking for some winter wheels and always wanted a set of fat fives and after months of searching found some that were in a pretty bad way.





i then spent some time doing a little refurb on them myself, sanding down, filling, painting etc



They were then sprayed with the wurth rattle cans producing this

Started looking for an S3

Then bought a Canon 700d so got some new shots

Then this happened and i was over the moon 

[smurfworth]

Bought some OEM numberplate lights and installed them

Done an ashtray delete so i now have somewhere to put my phone and everything else and also put in my xcarlink to replace the audi iPod connection so i now have control over the iPod from its screen instead of having to unplug it every time i want to change a playlist.

OEM+





And cleaned up my coilovers and put new copper grease on ready to be used once again. Slight bit of corrosion on the threads but there wasn't much copper grease on them when we put them on last time, can't complain over the quality of these, well done AP!

Another OEM+ mod, replaced the stupid useless card holder with a cupholder easy enough to do and finally have a decent cupholder instead of that useless one under the armrest.

Cup holder in..



..and out

Such lovely weather the camera had to come out, updated pics now the MY09's are on and my new pressed plates too

[smurfworth]

These arrived straight off GuyJ's awesome S3



110mm H&R ultralow coilovers, should give me more than enough adjustment to play with

[smurfworth]

Ordered a De wiper glass blank which I've been on about ordering one for at least 2 years now, better late than never i suppose.
Also got a strut spreader tool and new nylock nuts for the coilovers.

[smurfworth]

Why people never put S3's on fat fives i'll never know

Anyway, something simple done, De wiper..

Wiper arm came off easier than i thought it would, mustn't have been used overly much in the past.

H&R's are back off again and for sale if anyones interested. My ap's are back on and wound all the way down and it sits near enough in the same place as i had the ultra lows.

However, it is definitely not quite as comfy as the H&R's but I'm not overly fussed.

Id like to sell them and be on the lookout for an intake and exhaust next.
