I'm new to Audis and haven't done any mods yet, but it has come to my attention that I'm going to be needing a bunch of specialized tools for any of the mods I have in mind, SO, what's in your toolbox in terms of torx screw drivers, trim removers, lug nut wrench etc?
At the very least I want to be able to remove all the bolts.

Get a set of triple-square (XZN) heads. Technically you can use torx or Allen wrenches in there, but you won't as secure of a fit.
I also recommend a diverse set of Torx bits/screwdrivers.

LOL. That's so true. Even though we do many thing ourselves, the price is still freaking expensive so credit card with freaking high limit is a must here for Audi owner.

I went with torx sockets rather than individual drivers. With these, you can use extension bars for hard to reach places. Another required tool: www.ross-tech.com HEX CAN BUS cable (USB Version most likely).
