Pete's OEM+ A3 Black Edition

The GTI has been replaced  :sad1:

A friend of mine now owns it so it's gone to a decent home which was more than nice to have as an option.

It was more than a headache to find anything that could replace the Golf for performance, spec, comfort, refinement and running costs. Ultimately that big a headache, that the answer was more or less another Golf!  :drinking:

Looking at a property means the fuel bills had to be cut so this is it's replacement - a posh Golf:



It's a 2010 A3 Black Edition 170 TDI 3 door. It's my first ever diesel - very happy with it. Averaging between 49 and 57mpg at the moment with trip resets so it's serving the one of the key purposes I was looking for. It's low mileage and came up at a good price and paid below asking.

It's factory Black Edition spec. As with the GTI and my previous cars, it'll be an OEM+ bus and have some neat subtle touches.

Already done:
- Xenon H11 Fog light bulbs
- Xtec LED number plate lights *although had a few problems with these, nearly there
- Rear de-badge
- VCDS tweaks such as cornering lights, coming home adaptations and comfort windows

Plans are along the lines of:

- Coilovers & 4 wheel alignment
- LED RNS-E Nav
- Stage 1 remap of some sort
- Hawk HPS+ pads front and rear
- Pressed plates
- Black washer cap
- Paint the calipers Red or white
- OEM Footwell lights (LED)
- Sound proofing (for Bose speakers)
- Motol brake fluid
- Braided hoses
- BBS CK in a titanium grey
- Interior LED package

Later down the line:
- MY11 LED Tailights
- OEM S3 Mirror covers
- 19" Speedline/BBS split wheels in silver for the warmer months

Cheers.

Thanks mate. Those are a while off really, I think I'm going to sell the Turinis and ride on 18x8 CK's for a bit having been inspired by CK's for years. The Audi will pull them off in 18" from what I've seen whereas I felt they needed to be 19" to fill the arches and tyres on my MK5.
