I do have some updates as of tomorrow!
The Milltek has arrived and I have removed the tints, the carbon wrapped parts have come off and I have fitted a new steering wheel.
The Front Rings I have had painted in a flat grey to match the headlight inserts.
Its starting to look propper now!
PS the wheels are staying gloss black to match the roof.

Was sad to see you get rid of the Trophy but this looks really nice
Maybe audi rings in same colour as the silver bodywork?

Love it, i only like the red/black combo on these but still love what you have!
How do you find it in the handling department? Too many fannies telling me these dont handle when i believe otherwise?
Pole positions make me hard.

Even a standard TT goes around corners at speeds that a 1*2 couldnt contemplate, you just dont really know whats going on, or how the car does it lol ... A 240 with the mods that James' has would be pretty satisfying i imagine (bar the slightly leaden steering, but c'est la vie) and would absolutely destroy a clio round a track/down a back road/on the motorway, etc.

Couldn't agree more Dave, comes back to the old grip doesn't = handling.
You don't really feel corners in the TT because it's sure footed, it just grips and grips and goes round. That's what takes away the drivers feel alongside the steering.

I love it, and sounds ideal for yourself considering circumstances
Get some pics up of the rings? What steering wheel you fitted?

Yes as Dave said. Its just incomparable, the steering does feel strange to start with, minimal feedback, but the grip and the way theres no drama makes it even more suprising when the haldex decides it wants to give way to the back mid corner and still no drama. out the corner alive and well with no bron trousers.
Well after a 320mile trip back from the parents house in Devonshire back to nottinghamshire I achieved a total Vpower fuel bill of a whopping £46.58 I sat at pretty much circa 75-85mph most the way back. What a car!!
I need to sort my life out and get some pictures lol.
PS I almost ordered some wheels, then changed my mind, then have been looking at a set of these but im undecided.

Oh and just to add insult to injury, it needs a clutch, flywheel, oil service/ haldex oil change and im having my 3"decat fitted.
Ill have pictures on saturday I promise.

I love them wheels and think they'll look great but will take away the oem look, which with something like this needs. I do think the wheels need to be original silver tho

Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement!
Yeah Flat bottom would look perfect. I drove a V6 recently with one and transformed the drive, bit like the Clio. Agree with the rest Colin says. Looking much better mate
I lolled at "constellation".

bar the harnesses, i think it looks spot on, for me the black wheels work well with the roof and colour of the car

Have you ever driven a TT with a Haldex controller and decent tyres around a roundabout, at maximum attack? Harnesses are useful, they stop you being thrown out the side window. One thing they arent short on is grip lol.
Looks much better now!!

Cheers Dave!
Yes I have to agree with you, I had a bit of a blast in it, christ those AD08's work so well.
The black wheels are growing on me now I have to agree but I think Colin is right with the silver.
Cheers Gally, yeah the clutch just started to clip when boosting in 5th and 6th so I thought id better do this before it killed the flywheel. When I picked it up it felt awful and it turns out the M/C is now bust so thats being fitted along with the decat next week!
