Audi A8 3.0tdi/172.
Well I'm back again and this time it's not a cat D with a leaking rocker cover and the belts don't need doing and it's not had 18 owners .
It's a 53 plate 80,000 miles 172 cup with all the belts done, water pump the works, fresh wheel refurb and I'm now starting on the body work/bumpers.
The plan with this car is to not go as mad but go more oem fresh and improve on what's all ready a good car, as many cups are getting track slagged now so will be hard to find a decent one. It will still be used on track but won't be an out and out stripped down version like my one before. I won't be loosing anything really, possibly rear seats when and if I get a cage, im unsure yet.
Will be heavily pure motorsport goodies going on as well, it's the best stuff going, aslong as the funds allow of course.
Pics.
Bumper after I repaired and painted it, no chips and now sporting a cheeky mod I made for the middle insert....
My bumper had a rather weird hole so decided to cover it with a gloss black filler plate to extended the black look of the bumper, I was considering getting a batch in carbon fibre made up, as they have horrible stickers here or next to this part of the bumper. So I removed the sticker, painted that part of the bumper then added these gloss black parts. What we think?
New rear bumper is on route hopefully, and it's suspension decision time again, ride height adjustable b14's or gaz gold as I get a heavy discount from them. Thoughts?
