    B7 upgrades

    Finally getting myself organised and upgrading my black 2011 B7 TDI wagon after nearly 6 months of ownership.

    Have already replaced the 17" rims with some Omanyt 18" from an R36.

    Fresh set of boots today - Michelin PS3s all round - gone for 245/40 R18. $252 a corner from JAX - great price!! Gives a little more sidewall for added ride comfort and protrudes just a few mil more - trying to protect those vulnerable rims. Few cans of Plastidip on their way here too - gonna go matt black.

    Gave him a good wash and polish after the tyres were fitted - and did a little debadging in the process.

    Ordered some H&R springs from Awesome GTI last week - should be here soon - hope 40mm isn't gonna be too much of a drop.

    Going for a tint at Universal in Brookvale next week - $295! Good value hey? Anyone got any experience of these guys? Using 3M film so should be good quality I hope.

    On their way from the UK - from HIDs direct - great little ebay store - 3 x xenon kits - for dipped, main, and fogs. LEDs for front indicators + sidelights + DRLs. Would also like to replace the puddle lights but haven't found the correct unit yet.

    Once the suspension is fitted - will measure up for some of ECS tuning's spacers. Thinking 10mm front + 15mm rear. But need to see how it looks once settled on the H&Rs.

    Finally, got an RNS 510 to fit and hopefully that is the lot.

    What do you guys reckon - am I missing anything in my quest for an elegant and tastefully modded B7???

    Just buy full replacement units with multiple LED's in them. Just search for my thread on them in this B4 section. I did an install upgrade. They are really possibly the best mod as they light up so much more than the standard bulbs, but be careful to ensure that they match your mirrors as I'm not sure that they are the same as the B6 mirror housing.
