My Ride: 2006 Audi A8 4.2TDI
Previous rides:
2005 E61 530d, 20" Breyton reps, Eibach springs, M5 bumper/mirrors/MFSW
2000 Audi S6 Avant, 18" OZ, RS6 exhaust etc
1998 Audi A8 4,2Q, 19" RS4 wheels, Remus exhaust KW coilovers etc
1986 Audi 100CC, funky fresh steel rims w plastic covers, rubber lip on boot.....
1987 BMW 320i, 15" alloys + rubber lip on boot :)
1982 Opel Ascona 1,6DL, tinted windows and a big-ass subwoofer :P
M5 front (already in my garage waiting for fresh layer of paint, and some warmer weather)
White angel eyes
Painted calipers
CF roundels
Black grille
Possibly tinted rear lights
If I stumble over some reasonably priced sideskirts, M5 mirrors or other interesting stuff I might pull the trigger on them as well.
All this will be put on the shelf though until spring, when they clean away all the sand and stuff from the roads. Only mod I might consider doing right now is mud flaps...

Haha yeah I know...I'm just a lazy bum...But seriously I don't wanna put it on the car until all that sand is gone. Otherwise it'll be all chipped up in no time and I figured I would at least like it to look nice one season Not really sure on how good clearbra withstands that sandblasting. But at least I stopped by my dealer today and picked up the M5 brackets and mesh/grille so I guess you could say I'm half a step closer to finalizing this one

Probably just change my exhaust tips to new ones (already bought it, but haven't had money to install it).
Maybe new Angel eye mod, still doing R&D for it. =)
Maybe Hartge rear m5 diffuser / splitter. I love how it looks.
I think that's all I can do for the car.

Goal: shed weight
1) Remove spare tire and jack and replace with storage bits
2) Dump the numbflats - new tires for sure and maybe new wheels

My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats
ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.
It's not a lot, but here it goes:
Can't think of anything else right now, HUD is too much work for me and all other options came with the car
Already got M-Tech kit and 19" #166's, so no changes necessary there.
ECU RemapDone today- Comfort seat retrofit (if it doesn't require ripping out half of the interior to get to some wires for the memory function)
- iPod retrofit (Dension 500) - Planned next monday
- Lights work (White angeleyes instead of yellow, white fogs to match Xenon, MAYBE white eyebrows (i really liked the look), LCI tails)

My Ride:
Trunk Finisher (on the way)
AIBs and some Fog light upgrade and led plate bulbs
Mtech (summer)
VMR 710s and some new tires (next!!)
Decide which exhaust system I want
Also, get a really good detail and paint correction when it starts to warm up....

My Ride: 2006 BMW 330ci cab - Jet Black - Black Leather - Premium Pkg - Sport Pkg - Auto - Heated Seats - Navigation - Xenon - Premium Sound - iPod - Bluetooth
1) M-tech side skirts (may end up being last on my list considering cost)
2) H&R Sway bars
3) OEM M6 166 wheels & tires
4) iPod iDrive retrofit (came in mail today from Garry )
5) Two scratches fixed that were on the car when I picked it up last month
6) 50% Tint all around (want 35% or 40%, but 50% is the law in OH)
7) BSW Stage I Audio Upgrade
8) LED lights, just need to keep researching what to get.
9) Athracite headliner (a dream)
Thought I wouldn't need to do anything to this car given all the options it has. That is, until I found this web site.
