Well this year 2017, I am sort of giving the car a refresh in many respects including exterior.
Time to call the dent guy out to push out the 2 dents that I have (very small pkg lot door stuff). Rest of the paint shines better than new as I keep it polished.
Today I put a new windshield in, boy is that a great inexpensive upgrade. I had a connection of course.
So I have a new windshield, new headlight housing/lenses, new LED foglights, I replaced the honeycomb grill a couple of years ago and the paint is super glossy. With all of this the car looks very close to new though it is an old design.
Last year I found some black leather Audi TTS seats in great condition. To spruce things up further I am going to have them refreshed and have the inserts done in a diamond pattern just like the new Audi S6 and S8. I will redo the back in the same look (right now it is still gray/plaid)
What I have in the GTI now (top pic) How I want to refinish the interior (pic of S6 interior) Should come out nice.
I am still up in the air about doing flared fenders and wide tires/wheels.
Also looking at possibly doing some sort of custom exhaust that would be a single centered tip (something different maybe)
