Took delivery in March 2003; swapped out the 17's for my Abt 18's. Those quickly went the way of the RH's first with the Atlas Grey center then with silver center.

Shortly there after (like a week or so) got S-Line "black out grille" top and bottom. E-code headlights.

Then exhaust was installed as well as chip.

Then came the H&R c/o's

as well as B5 S4 Brakes w/ stainless steel brake lines

Next were the Atlas Grey centered RH's Crosslines

Then Votex rear hatch spoiler and eurospec "blind spot" mirrors (not pictured)
http://images2.fotki.com/v21/photos/5/58865/245241/DSCN1012-vi.jpg
Then came Sportec front/Kerscher sides/Painted rear
http://images3.fotki.com/v28/photos/5/58865/295705/DSCN1164-vi.jpg
The sides were then replaced with Sportec sides and Sportec pedals were added with Euro Floor Mats

V1 remote integration w/ Ipod direct hook up mounted on OE accessory holder

Then came the Tuningwerks photoshoot...

http://images4.fotki.com/v44/photos/5/58865/245241/IMG_1714-vi.jpg
Finally...the opportunity came where I couldn't pass up forged Sportec Mono 10's in a 20x9 along w/ eurospec S4 rear bumper and S4 door blades
