I quite like that, I think it looks pretty smart. The seats especially look great.

With the harness bar, it doesn’t look like you have any harnesses? Does it also function as active bracing or is it just there to keep your shopping in place?

Got any pictures at night with the footwell lights on?

[CharliesTTS]

Thank you!

It’s for display only, so as you say - just to keep the shopping in place!

Sorry, I haven’t got any photos of the footwell lights, I’ll try to get one and post it up.

not for me (really don't like black) BUT what you've done seems well done and not too OTT. Let's hear more about it

Thank you, totally understand about the ‘black’ comment and must admit I didn’t use to like blacked cars but then I changed my views one day!

The car is maintained and has all the mechanical upgrades carried out by The Phirm, in Camberley.

I purchased the Recaro seats from a a member on the TT forum, he had them in his Porsche so I just got the direct fit frames for the TT.

Nice list of upgrades which I agree appear to be very well done, but again it's to black. Front end looks completely lost, maybe standard headlights would help??
Still your car, your money and your own personal taste. Enjoy it.

Audi nerd here, I think it's marvellous. Amazing how much of a difference an RS grill makes to S / non-RS cars, instant aggression.

Cheers!

I do understand that it’s too black for some, I don’t think the front end looks lost in the flesh though, hard to capture on a phone camera?

When I upgraded the rear lights the standard headlights looked too much for me, hence getting them smoked.

Cheers! Yes, totally agree that the grille change makes a massive difference!

Please tell me that you are not one of those who puts their front number plate behind the windscreen?

I just noticed that you don’t have a front number plate as is the trend with some youngsters.

Haha..not really a youngster!

No I use a twist and fit bracket which is quick release, makes it easy to take off and clean the honeycomb grille.
