New pics of the TT!

I got it detailed a while back and took some pics of it so I thought I would share my pride and joy with you guys... I am trying to host the pics from my home page so I am not sure if I will get it right the first time but here goes...

I guess that worked... not quite the way I expected but good none the less. Anyway, check out the pics. If you don't know who I am or my story and you have no idea what I am doing posting TT pics on an RX-8 message board, please disreguard this thread...

Do you think Audi could have made the stereo any harder to fiddle with. Look at all those buttons!

Nice car! I bet having the drop top is pretty sweet so who cares about the stereo.

Looks sweet. I'd love to have a convertible. Can't wait for the RX-7 drop top.

Actually you should see the buttons on my radio in my tiburon, it's a clarion.... let's see it looks something like this......
Clarion Radio

Only worse, the buttons are so small you can't read them!

Actually the radio is suprisingling easy to use. Most of the feature buttons on there are for the tape cassette function which I never use. The Bose system sound great too. Anyway, I just put on the license plate frame that is in some of the pics. I have new pedals on order but they are taking forever to get here... damn backorders...

The seats in the TT are the best I've ever sat in !!!

The leather is gorgous, and they hug you perfectly.

Long time no see JTek. Good to see you poking your head in every once in a while.

The TT looks amazing.

Any mods of yet?

One other car you can't kill is an S3. I know, TT owners won't admit it 'cause its almost the 'same' car. But its lighter with better handling, yours has the looks though!
My choise of colors would be like this one

VERY NICE!!! Now all you need are some nice Audi floormats!!! They're mats for a reason (theyre replaceable with much ease and a bit of money). Beautiful car though!!

Good to hear from you again JTek_55.

The interior looks pristine.

Please give us an update on your impressions after almost a year of ownership. It has been about that long if I recall correctly.

From all the times I went to see the TT coupe - the radio sounds very clean and crisp - but then again it was the newer bose model with the cd player. I'm sure yours sound just as good, as for the complexity - I found it to be very easy to operate. Also awesome car man :D

From what I've studied about the car, most of the problems the car had were mostly in the 00 and 01 model years and almost all the problems were electrical problems - not mechanical.

The 180 is outperformed the econosports cars like the Mazdaspeed Protege, Focus SVT, and Spec V. Anyhoo, can you disable that bastardized TCS system with the push of a button?
