tombruty Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hi Guys, I have a 2006 1.6SE 3dr A3. To cut a long story short I have been given £1400 by Audi as compensation to spend on accessories for my car but I cant modify the appearence of it because my insurence company wont let me. I was thinking about getting a Road Angel(£400), a phone kit (£200) and Acoustic parking(£400) and spending the rest on mats, boot liners, oil and car wash etc. I have been reading about the phat noise system and I was wondering if anyone has one and could offer their thoughts on it. The item alone costs nearly £600 and that doesn't include fitting so if anyone could lend their thoughts I would really appreciate it!!!! Thanks.

d3fy Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 As uber says, ditch the insurance company and get the Votex kit fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Stuff the idea of a body kit, you can't see it when you are driving it can you? - and you will end up like another poster here trashing it on a high curb - if you have any tendency to wear hooded tops and your baseball cap on the wrong way around...then you will be very happy with your body kit though...... I'd go with your suggestion and get the Road Angel which is a sound investment for the future as you can move it from car to car. If you do buy one get the unit hard-wired by your local auto-electrical shop (I got mine done yeterday for £30) so you don't have a wire trailing up from the fag lighter socket. Parking sensors are worth having, cos the A3 isn't great to reverse - get a bluetooth phone kit and some sort of MP3 player (or if you have an iPod already the Ice Link). Maybe - front fog lights if you don't have them already - not standard on the SE IIRC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d3fy Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 or you could get the new Road Angel/Navigation unit - Audi dealers sell those as well for around £500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
