They are, I nearly got one as a daily through work but I wanted to get as much car as I could for the money and a new Audi didn't give much, hence the Mazda 6.
Good, you'll need cheap fuel especially when you remap it and boot it all the time. :grin:
-
Looks good that. Rare colour for an Audi too :wink:
Enjoy it mate, hope you don't miss the mk2 too much.

Well not getting a remap just yet, with the car on 107k I would make sure that the clutch and flywheel have been repalced before I would put any extra strain on them :wink:
Have ordered a set of car mats and when I get a free moment prob on friday can takle a few simple things that I want to do Looks good that. Rare colour for an Audi too :wink:

Look at the colour the dirty derv has made the sky! :grin:
I was gonna say, those first photos were rubbish by your standards, glad to see you had time for a "quick snap", which is still better than many of us manage.
-
hahah yeah the first were just to show what i had got and well even yesterday that was a reall quick shoot will be taking some more at some point :wink:
-
Joe, do you have a slight stone chip on the bonnet? Right next to where the top of the grill starts?
Great photo by the way, although seriously needs the lowering stick to be bashed on it. :wink:

yeah there is a small stone chip need to attend to that and a few other minor marks :smiley:
-
Great photo and it 100% needs lowering.

Its a right barsteward mate! My mate did mine and he's been on the car wrapping course and stuff and said it was tricky!
Did you take the silver bits away from the black? I thought getting the damn thing off the car and apart was enough of a ball ache lol

the lower grill wasn't too bad but jesus christ the top one was near impossible! took my time and several attempts and managed to figure out what to push where lol
there are a few tiny creases and well ill see how long it lasts :grin:
just trying to find this bloody boost leak now! one of the pipes, the one on the passenger side had a little play in it which im assuming is the cause for the pressure leaking out? think im going to have to call the garage i bought it from and get them to sort it! make the most of the warranty but will be with out a car . . . . .again

It will probably be the boost pipe seals or the clip that holds the boost pipe in the intercooler has snapped, worst case the plastic on the intercooler has snapped and will req a new intercooler, I would take it back for warranty.

+1 relatively common!
Another one that goes is the one on the turbo at the back of the engine, if the turbos been replaced and the clip not put on properly it can come off and cause boost issues

wondered what that auto thing on the lights was?

^^ I hope this is scarcasm :grin:

:laugh:
When it gets dark, the lights come on automatically rather than remembering to turn them on/off :wink: Should also be a little button on the light switch bit which turns on/off the coming home light function that turns the lights on when unlocking the car, and leaves them on for a few seconds when leaving the car :)
