    Hi Guys,

    Just a quick post to say hi while im bored at work!!! I've used the forum loads for help on various problems so I figured I should probably introduce myself now! 

    I drive a '55 plate A3 2.0 FSI, in Akoya silver with the following changes;

    Suspension - JOM coilovers. I would say by how much I've lowered it but tbh ive lost count of the centimetres/ millimetres that ive wound them down by, but lets just say I dont run bumpstops or adjusters on the rear anymore!!!

    Wheels - mirror polished Audi A8 monoblocks

    Other bits and bobs - de-badged rear apart from the 4 rings, 20mm spacers on the rear, 10mm on the front, s-line front bumper coming on friday.

     

    I will get some pictures up next week, but for now - Hi!!

    Right, after sorting my suspension and getting the new front end on I am back in love with the car so here are some pics!!!

    How I got it;

    Goodies!

    fitted;

    Although it was better than standard I didn't like the look, so bigger tyres went on (205/35 to 215/40) and allowed me to get rid of most of the arch gap!

    then needed a little better fitment so got these (20mm for the back);

    Which made the rear sit like this!!

    I am pretty happy with the rear for the time being so decided to leave it alone for now, but as i always have to be doing something to the car I followed it up with some 10mm spacers for the front and an s-line front end which went on yesterday;

    fitting was actually really easy, and took me around 2 hours without any prior knowledge!!

    off;

    and on again!!

    And that brings me up to today. Not really sure where to go from here, but I'll no doubt find a new project soon enough!! Let me know what you guys think.

    Cheers matey, yeah its a cupra slitter which are pretty easy to fit.

    They have a number of holes on them so just a case of a number of screws into the bumper (well, thats what the guy i bought it off did!).

    not sure on the year, but you're looking around £40 by the look of it!

    Car looks lovely, amazing the difference an S Line bumper can make.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Click the link to see my car, it's not so much of a 'build thread' because not enough building is going on!
