Premiere Purchase'd TT.... What can I modify?
I've had it for a few months and the upgrade bug is starting to nag at me.
Question is this: What can I do while it's under the "lease" with Audi? And preferably without screwing up too much of my warranty?
Thanks!

nothing :-(
seriously!
Having said that...you could change anything you want but make sure that you 'undo' all the changes before each service and when you return the car. Major PIA and it depends on your budget.
Sorry to give you bad news :-(

I am 2 months into my lease as well. So far, I have
installed H&R sport springs, have a new set of wheels on the way, and have tinted the windows. Once my wheels arrive I am stopping at that. or at least that is what I keep telling myself!

If it's a premiere purchase - you've bought it - not a lease from my understanding - the payments
are lease type amounts - but it's still a purchase
After I premier purchased - I put Stongard on the car immediately and then the Forge DV and then the rest.
I did other "modding" after about 5k miles to make sure nothing was terribly wrong beforehand

I plan to mod as much as possible regardless of my lease >>
I already replaced the wheels and H&R/Bilsteins have been ordered. I plan to chip (spare ECU) and exhaust. I am going hold on to all the OEM stuff and put it back on if I decide to turn the car back in. I can always sell the mods as used and get a little money back. I did sell my stock wheels though.
You gotta look at it this way. Mods will always be money out of your pocket. Mods are for your enjoyment, not an investment. Enen if you own the car you'll never recoup that money through resale value.
Mod away!

Re: If it's a premiere purchase
Yeah, but it's still getting turned in at the end, and they can charge me for things wrong with the car... If I change parts are they going to screw me when I turn it in?

Re: I plan to mod as much as possible
LOL, where'd you find a trailer hitch for your TT to haul that Baja? 
I have two cars: a TT and a 4Runner. I bought the 4Runner first so I could buy a boat and be able to tow it. Then I bought the TT. Now I can't afford the boat. I could sell the 4Runner and afford a boat and not be able to move it. Not a chance in hell I'd sell the TT...
