New Arrival on the Way
« on: November 11, 2011, 09:07:15 PM »
No, it's not a baby. Well, it kind of is. A baby Audi A3 that is. Just struck a real deal on this low mileage 07 beauty:







This will be the seconf Audi in our "fleet" the other's an 85 UR quattro: Team Illuminata Motorsport  Now the question is "What to do with  this one?"

Well first on the list is some BRAID wheels. We are the main importer after all so we are almost obliged to throw some of these wheels on it. There's already a precedent in the neighbourhod: an MTM S3 replica has some black Winrace A on it. I don't have any pictures of that car yet but here's the wheels before we delivered them.





What do you  think? I actually already ordered the very same wheels for this car, even before we bought it! Then I had another thought: maybe white Winrace A would be cool too.



What do you think? Coiuld we get away with it?

What I really need is someone to Photoshop the black and white Winrace A on the car for comparison. Any PS experts out there?

Of course, maybe we need another BRAID wheel instead of these. Have a look, let me know what might look better: Team Illuminata

I also need to install aftermarket heated seats as it doesn't have the winter package installed. I'll do without the heated mirrors and washer nozzles thank you. Anyone have any experience or insights into doing this on this car?

Likewise with a remote start system. Would really like that on this one.

Then, I guess the question is what else should we do as far as performnce mods? What do these cars really respond well to? Open to ideas.

TINT  Of course. Forgot about that. Where do I get that done round here?

Also need a source for a Viper SmartStart install.

For tint a friend of mine who has a sever case of being anal about his cars always uses Fade To Black.  I guess they come right to you.  I may shop sun and shade and them to see whos price is best.

Fade to black does do pretty good work.
I'm stocky.
