After searching long and hard last year for a A4 quattro within my budget I finally gave up and settled on a high mile 2002 passat tdi estate, which I'll be honest wasn't at all what I wanted but needs must at the time but later sold that earlier this year and again after what seemed like ages I stumbled across this nice 180hp 2000 face lift A4 1.8T quattro sport on a random village classifieds site down near Weybridge (the joys of google advanced search)
A few factory upgrades, rear spoiler (still undecided if I like or hate) electric sunroof and Symphony double din headunit and unlike most other Audi's of its age, it has a fully functional and clear DIS display..woop woop!
Haven't really done much in terms of tarting it up, just de badge, a wash down, de gunk of the engine bay and a clay bar and I have to say for its age its in remarkably good nic, it hasn't even seen a rotary or a spot of polish yet
Now being on the ball with the common plenum drain issue I thought "I know, I'd better check the drains..just incase" then mother nature beat me to it and the plenum decided to fill itself up with water, luckily I got to it before it spilled into the cabin
My car having a little wee (ignore the horrid blue thing on 4 wheels)
Then James at OBD works hit it with his lowering stick, although you wouldn't know it from the picture the rears have only about 20mm left

Some nice shiny new AP's
and a heinous amount of reverse rake!
and finally, I bought some rims.
These were (apparently) an upgrade option for the original A6, 18x8.5 ET32 Avantgarde 2 piece splits, basically a BBS RS2 with a 6 spoke face.. these are currently being split down with the help of Adam and Matt and will be fitted next year if all goes to plan and the stuck bolt studs come out
Mmmmmm... splits.
Anyway, if you're still awake, congratulations... if you fell asleep while reading...sorry
