Congratulations, lovely car and in the perfect colour combo too

Looking forward to seeing more pics and a video of that roar, it may even convince me to splash out on one

The only thing I would love, is factory tints. After market ones just don't cut it as you get the halo effect and can see the rear de mister lines.

Still might tempt myself though.

Need an AMI unit as the previous owner did the CD changer - iPod cable thing, and it doesn't function like the AMI does, don't like it, so will get one of those.

Now, facelift rear lights, who, how, where? Can't see any on eBay...

To be honest, the exhaust is lovely, however, I had an S6 V10, and had some custom back boxes made up, mated to original tail pipes, sounded great and looked stealth. Cost £250 or something, so the cost outweighed all else.

Would I spend £1200ish on an exhaust? Nope, unless it made a difference to performance.

You need to invest in the facelift lights, someone will be along soon to tell you the best places to get them

As for the exhaust, try £1,600, I've priced one. I'd still like first refusal if you go for a bespoke exhaust though

Facelift taillights can be bought from local Audi dealer for about 650, you will need a bit of cheek to get it but my local dealer did it.

The lights are actually made by this company, I considered setting up an account with them but it would have meant running a business.

Was hoping eBay would get me a set for a few hundred, seems not then. £650 is a fair old whack!

Does it work as a replacement CD changer or as AMI?
