Modification suggestions
I have a blue 2002 A4 1.8T - I use this car as a daily driver for work (a 140 mile round-trip). I really like a clean look and want to keep the audi look and keep the car clean and driveable.
I was thinking about getting the audisport taillights with the silver trim.
The only things I have done so far is I have wrapped the car in 'Car Armor' to protect me from chipping. (I had the front end, Doors, and rear bumber covered). Also I removed the '02 HU and replaced it with an '04 - then installed OEM Sirius SAT Radio.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I will post a picture of the car later today.

Big Turbo, 20" chrome wheels, cut your springs...>>
kidding of course.
what do you want to achieve through modification?
we can suggest anything and everything, but what you want to do with the car is the real question.
want more power?
better handling?
cheezy exterior add-ons?
changing fully functional lights to other lights makes no sense to me, but that's me.
if they break, sure change them.
suspension/engine mods that improve the way the car drives are worth it to me.
what's worth it to you?

HAHA
I would want more power and better handling. I am concerned about making changes to this section since it is a daily driver.
Another biggy for me is I want to do everything myself - I don't want to have to bring the car somewhere to get work done, I like the feeling of working on the car myself on the weekends.
I agree with changing lights even though some of the lights look so good it is hard to resist!

how bad the roads are and your preference for ride comfort will dictate>
how aggressive you want to go with suspension upgrades.
a matching spring shock combo like the Eibach pro-system is a good upgrade.
Or you could go with coilovers which cost more, but offer height adjustability and some have adjustable dampers too.
H-sport swaybars will reduce body roll and improve handling. They are easy bolt on too, you could do in your driveway on ramps.
Stage 1+ chip/injector upgrade is a reliable way to increase power.
Seach the archives and you'll see everything you want to know about this.

For more power a software/injectors combo is nice. Exhaust will help as well.
DSMIC or FMIC will help with the heat soak.
For better handling upgrade the sway bars and lower the cas with coilovers or shock/spring combo.
18"-19" wheels will also look very good.
Pls. change the stock brake pads to Hawk HPS, Ferodo DS2500 or Carbotech Bobcat as the stocks suck big time.
If you want to upgrade your tail lights, get LED ones instead. They are tough to come by though.
