Thanks for the comments guys! Anything else after getting the bits sprayed will be small and cheap mods!

Haha mine needs to be able to take 4/5 people and get over speed bumps occasionally, so don't think I'll go any lower just yet! Need to get camber adjustment on the rear too as that's a pita at the mo!

Got about 10mm left on the front but all the way down on the back, if I lower it more on the front then I'd take the adjuster cup out of the rear and put the original rubber cup back in. The sill sits level at the mo so it would need all round lowering to pull it off :)

Tyres are crazy low profile, majorly bumpy and on full lock it looks like there isn't any tyre on the rim!! Would like to get a set of 19's for it but if I do then it wont be for about a year or so, got some big bills coming up with the cambelt needing doing again in 6-8 months :(

Yeah better to prepare for that sort of thing :) I had the cambelt done just over a year and a half ago when I first got it, and already done 50k :( Sooo will need doing again soon lol Yeah I'll give you a shout mate, the guy I got them from wants first dibs on them though. They were off his A4 so are wider and concave a bit compared to the stock ones from A3's :)

Heres a shot of the rear, with the wiper but with no badge... Not feeling it really :undecided:

See thats the same as what mine looked like and to me it was a bit plain.. after fitting the black OOOO badge it just breaks the rear up a bit.. im going to de-wiper the rear of mine aswell.. If your not keen why not get another OOOO badge ??

Yeah not keen at all really. Think its a combo of the wiper and the rear bumper not being the same shape as some of the other ones that i've seen. Deffo going to de-wiper and get another badge for it, totally skin this month though :lipsrsealed: been buying house crap lol
