UseOnceDestroy 0 Posted March 14, 2010 I'm not really a fan of the exhaust either to be honest, bought it with it on and it's pretty low on my 'to do' list ... it works, it sounds good ... I'll get round to it eventually :lol: I'd like to get coilovers, some new rims and pull the arches ... but I'm unsure whether to do this before I start improving performance ... :shrug: I took it to a body shop near me in Christchurch called Kustom Kolors ... They've done a great job, brilliant lads there. Work done ... Bonnet washers smoothed, Mk4 washers under lip of bonnet. De-badged and colour coded (if you didnt notice :wink: ) ... Swaj lines removed from front bumper Side repeaters shaved and American spec installed into front bumper Audi A3 handles ... (had to install door solenoids as air powered central locking couldn't hack it) New wing mirrors ... think I'll keep you guessing on that one :lol: ... prize to the winner Rear badges smoothed, swaj lines smoothed Towing eye removed, rear bumper swaj lines smoothed Boot lock removed, solenoid installed Audi TT wiper conversion And obviously the inpro lighting, fucking nightmare they caused me!! Even now, I've had to bodge the adjusters in as they don't fit in properly! Really happy with it although its due back in ... the day after I picked it up ... some cunt REVERSED into me!! Front end needs spraying again :( For weeks after I shunted my front end, I was praying someone would knock into me so I could use their insurance ... then I get it back ... and my prayers are answered!! hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseOnceDestroy 0 Posted March 17, 2010 nice new avatar pic mate :grin: Aw shucks :camp: :lol: I want your doors!!! look real nice, what are they like for operation? easy/smooth? Door handles are great, smooth and easy ... great action if you like ... Only problem I had was I had to replace the factory air powered central locking and replace it with a couple of solenoids, the air couldn't hack the strength of the new handles. I bought cheap originally and they both broke within a day ... so I was crawling through my boot! Bought better ones second time round and no problems yet ... fingers crossed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseOnceDestroy 0 Posted March 19, 2010 Courtesy of The Car Lounge: http://www.abload.de/img/fuuucrashocvk.jpg ... spot on that one!! No I didn't do the handles myself, got my body shop to sort out all that ... fair bit of work!! Then theres making sure the inner workings are adapted to fit ...

cardboard 0 Posted March 21, 2010 damn that is a lot of work although very worth it i think! do love em! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
culshaw 1 Posted April 5, 2010 worth it.... definately much better than the original handles, can you tell us what it cost you all in for the handles, solenoids and bodywork to the doors? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseOnceDestroy 0 Posted April 5, 2010 I bought 2 Audi A3 doors ... for £160 ... Solenoids from a mate at £10 each (It's worth buying decent ones, my cheap ones broke after a day!) ... Welding and spraying ... at a guess, because I had other work done. Maybe £250 - £300 per door? So a total of around £800 at a guess ... It all depends on who you know, if you get lucky with parts ... and if they do a decent job! Sorry I can't be more exact mate but they quoted me for everything Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
