I once put a euro car parts Bilstein/sring kit on my mk4 golf. Broke 2 springs within a few weeks and the ride was awful. Bought 4 eibach springs and the ride was transformed. I think eibachs are top quality.

Loved the bbs ch, had them on my Evo, the compos shouldn't work at all should they? But they do, they look spot on!

I was looking at boxsters next, but I'm after one myself now.

The car looks great. Maybe silver wheels would look better, as always your car, your choice. Enjoy.

One of the chrome centre caps was damaged so now my wallet is another 50 lighter

These should bring some colour to the wheels



Some more uk made product

Nice, I'm trying to resist buying shiny bits for mine.

Staying strong so far, although it has only been 3 days hehe

Yours look nice, I don't know if it applies to the 180 but I've just rang audi about an outstanding recall on the coil packs and they've booked it in to replace them. ...


I'm happy with the centre caps :-)



just bought some defcon bush inserts to reverse the dumbing down Audi did in 2000



Il replace the other bush and ball joints with standard items when the wishbones are off.

That's interesting, can you just give audi the reg and ask if there are any outstanding recalls?

Yes mate

I knew about the coil recall though was just ringing to see if it had been done

0800 699888

I wonder if they will still do the recall for the spoiler / wishbones / adding the counter weights / dsc ....

Very nice. Keep it standard (at least visually).

I really liked the OP's car initially, but now with blue body, black wheels and red centre caps, it's spoilt. No cohesion. Sorry OP.

No need to be sorry, I respect your opinion. Although it's only a set of wheels, which replaced wonky replicas :-)

I think a cheeky photoshop to turn the wheels white might be a worthwhile exercise for someone..

Then some blue compo logos on them.

Having bought a TT roadster last year for the sort of money that should really only buy knackered old hatch backs and ex mini cabs, I think we're going to see more and more of these 'I just bought a mk1 TT for peanuts and bugger me they're actually pretty good' type threads.

Blue or matching black centres would bring it together. There's nothing for the red ones to match and so they seem out of place to me.

Still a bargain of a car though!

Agree the look is spoilt with the random red bits.

Such a shame the BBS were copies - and cracked. They really suit the car perfectly.

Well, still enjoying it.
The rd08's have been replaced by some rainsport 3s which provide a much more compliant ride for the road.

It's had a haldex service, brake fluid change and steering fluid change at Audi whilst in for the coilpack recall.

The seats lack lumber adjustment and a 600m 24hr round trip left me in agony. It doesn't help the padding seams to have flattened from a previous lardy owner.

So I've just bought some new seats which should be in keeping with the car but actually provide support.

Also added the obligatory, grown up boy racer, metal plates

I am a fan of the MK1 TT for sure, love it in Nog, I've never seen one before. We had a purple one from new that was a special order colour. Have seen a couple others.

I think the Comps really suit it. Love the colour of the car too.

Looking forward to updates.

My new seats arrived today. Recaro pole positions from a Quattro sport
