Congrats, I love meteor grey!

Hey since your in Calgary you should skip the "dealer detail" and contact Jed at mobile reflections. I bet you could get the dealer to cover the cost, and you can't get a better detail anywhere in this province.

He's worked on two of my cars, he just finished with the paint correction on my 2011 S4 and I couldn't be happier with the results! Exterior detail took him just over 10hrs alone, glenmore isn't going to put that kind of care into your car!

Thanks!

Im pretty stoked.

Regarding the detailing, Im a big fan of doing it myself. I find it very relaxing to spend the hours in the garage and get it all ready to show off.

So do you have any mods planned or are you just going to enjoy it as?

Coming from the world of a highly modified Subaru , I'm looking forward to keeping this one stock and under warranty for a while.

Besides, one major lesson I learned with the last project was to wait and make sure you know which mods you want or you'll end up doing things three times. That takes time.

Lol yeah for sure...I love my warranty also so I stick to purely cosmetic mods.

I swapped my steering wheel, purchased ocarbons vent and mmi carbon fiber trim, Deval cf rear valance and have a new shifter and aluminum pedals in the mail now!





Make sure you checkout the intercooler threads over at audizine, if the previous owner didn't address it its definitely something you should take care of right away...the deerfoot has so much crap in it this time of the year!

Haha sorry bud!

Wheel is the rs5 one, direct swap nice and easy, you can get a similar one cheaper since you don't need paddle shifters alex@europrice can hook you up...

Here's the important one for you, brutal design flaw...
