Ya I am thinking straps + roof rack are the way to go there for me but I measured and I can fit a 10' fence post inside the thing (first weekend project). Will post pics.
Mod-wise, I am going back and forth with 'nothing' and 'some stuff' but ultimately it will likely be all about utility. Here's the list, feel free to add/subtract
Phat cargo net (already purchased)
Trunk liner
Oil change
Snow tires for the existing 16" rimz. probably go with 205/60-16 General Altimax Arctics. Only $79/tire!
Snow brush, gonna need a bigger one for this thing I think
35% tint. I have a prescription for this, might as well capitalize
Valentine1 hardwire kit
Roof rack setup-base rails + ski rack + bike rack, dad has a Saris box that will fit it nicely. Will shop around on these, lots of options.
Trailer hitch. Open to suggestions.
lowering springs. 1" drop is all I want, no stretchy slammed kraut here. H&R or Eibach?
Boost gauge?
Chip. Probably EPL or APR.
Dogbone motor mount insert. Cheap and was a great mod on the GLI.
Summer rimz& tire combo next spring. Probably a basic 18" setup like rosey got for his A3.
Plasti-dip to remove a little bit of the chrome from the front bumper (but not too much)
BSH TSI intake. Maybe.
End of the day, this thing will see regular street use and utility hauling, and I want it to be fun, but beaterX will be my main focus for 'going fast'
