Now the modifications, first off I put on a set of ASA GT1 18x8 ET35 that I had refinished and wrapped in new Pirelli PZero summer tires.

The wheel gap was absurd at this point, so I asked around the Facebook groups and was pointed towards the H&R 29800 springs. I ordered a set and installed them, the grin was ear to ear. The 'stance' was perfect, the wheel and tire fitment was perfectly flush to the fenders. Exactly how I wanted it.

While browsing eBay for NOS Audi aftermarket parts from Kamei, I happened across a set of headlamp covers that were not the Kamei models but a custom made set from ben_tuning in Kazakhstan. They were a very reasonable price, so I ordered them up. They eventually made it through customs and arrived unharmed. I sent them off to my painter and had them matched. Install was easy and fit is pretty solid. They look much better than the ones offered by Kamei.

We attended a local car show, but not before having the whole car cut and buffed! The results speak for themselves.

We added a set of roof rack crossbars and a Thule Mountaineer ski box. There was one problem though, the ski box was touching the antenna mast. I started looking for options and found out there were universal 'shark fin' style antennas that simply screw into the base where the original mast threaded. I had that painted as well to match and installed. Fit is great, reception is also exactly the same as with the traditional mast.

The ASA wheels are a bit bent prior to me owning them sadly, so I was on the hunt for new wheels. Eventually I found a set of Fifteen52 Tarmac 18x8.5 ET45 with new Continental Procontacts for a decent price and scooped them up. I think they look fantastic on the car.
