Hey, never posted much on here as mostly on ttforum but thought might start doing it on here.
Finally got around to ordering and fitting my Quattro Sport valance. Was a bit fiddly though as somebody had put a weird screw type end over the push plug so took ages to get them off.
Before

After

Really happy with the change, just made me want QS spoiler asap and get vinyl wrap on roof.

Had to be done!
I like the V6 front bumper but I bet they're expensive.

Before and After
4x4 


Just got it back from lowering. Used the eibach pro kit.
Also seems to have cured it from the suspension creaking now and again.
Going next week to have the bushes replaced as the mechanic said they were worn.
Jamie

Next on the list is to fit my QS spoiler when it finally gets here and then book it in for roof and mirrors spraying black

That looks fine imo Much better than before. Wouldn't hurt to be a tad lower but it certainly doesn't look bad like that.

Must admit would like it a little lower but the speed humps around here are shocking so this is probably pushing it 
Plus if you make it noticeably lower then it will fail MOT as changing some parts for non OE is illegal unless you spend loads getting it checked by the equivalent of the DVLA over here.

Wasn't that as low as you could go with just changing springs anyway? I'm guessing it's the 40mm kit which is what I used on mine, so it'll settle a bit lower after a while anyway.

Yeah Brett, any lower and you have to buy adjustable tie bars too.
How long do they usually take to settle?

Dunno tbh. I remember I was a little disappointed at first tho because I felt it was hardly noticable. Definitely looks lowered compared to other cars now anyway. Just wanted to close that arch gap a bit essentially, which is what I'm guessing you were going for lol
EDIT: I remember when I was looking at full kits and getting pissed off at the fact Quattro fitment is twice the price too
