Following on from the 'New job and new car' thread, Ade, Clarkee and myself went up to Soilhull on Tuesday to pick up my new daily - viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6685

Short spec as follows;
2003 Audi A3 TDI 130 PD
6 speed
Climate control
Audi concert (Think its called?) audio system (standard audi sub etc)
Full alcantara interior
With the usuals
etc etc

The car was a straight clean car to start with, but I wanted to give it a bit more attention.
Ade (big thanks!!) and me got to work this morning/afternoon.
I tackled the paint whilst Ade did a great job on the engine, trim, door shuts etc

Some pics;

I've never had a car that clean, it looks like it just rolled out the showroom

Top work guys

Looking good rich, what colour is it???

Nice one Rich - nice and clean.

Cheers guys

Gaz, its "Denimblu pearl"

looks spot on rich

looking real nice now mate but how gutted are you going to be next week when i have added a few oily finger prints over it

Slam panel looks dirty. 2/10 for effort.

I've picked up the bits so when ever you can fit me in mate

Nice daily and very clean!

looks very nice unusal colour too

Nice daily Rich, when do the 18's go on?!

Cheers guys

We'll have to see about alloys. This ones meant to be the daily

If I don't get tempted before hand, I may consider something when the tyres need changing - we'll see though

Real nice example you got there rich love the colour too

Nice choice Rich, i reckon that colour would be good on a mk2 too...

looks good ,nice to see a different colour from silver

wasn't happy with my wheels as well car rolled about too much and looked too small , the 17's changed the ride a lot not so smooth but more to my liking handles ok for standard se springs now , try mine first if you like

my 17's may be up for sale soon cheap as well as they need some paint where they were marked when the new tires were fitted

before and after wheels pics see the difference



Rob

Not to worried about the roll etc for now as its only the daily and the tyres all have healthy tred so I'll let them run low before making any decisions

I may go for something along the lines of the RS4 alloys - will see whats about at the time though

Looks really nice Rich

The Audi visited JBS at Combe Saturday for a remap and filter with a claim of 170bhp and 270 lb/ft torque.

Really impressed with the map, seems very smooth too

Downside being Brentacre trying to sting me £120 for the map for the 6 months remaining months

Yeah, smooth until the Turbo kicks in

Is that a CC "Custom Code" map I had one on the lupo really smooth map

Maps are all but invisible aren't they Rich? (for insurance purposes i mean)

Ade

Yes Mucka it is the CC map, highly rated too

I know Tom, I should have kept my mouth shut at that price!! Will have to see how I get on fuel wise
