The General's 8S Audi TT Coupe

[AshG108]

So I know this has been the quieter of my Fanatics threads, as I wanted to really just leave this car stock.

Well the one gripe I had with it was the wheels, was never a fan of the RS6 style allows that came with the car.

So I did some research and I knew I wanted a specific set of wheels, and found them.
OZ Superturismo 19" wheels.

I wanted them in a specific colour too, so I did some digging and found the Satin Aurum Gold paint code: OP9 from Porsche

Managed to get the colour mixed at Cape Auto Paints

And then dropped the rims off for refurb and respray at The Mag Workshop in Paarden Eiland, Mitch did a sterling job.

And then just coz we were on the AI model car situation, I thought why not, and spat this out:

Ive managed to find a set of Black centre caps from Temu which ive fitted, along with aluminium OZ Racing valve caps.

Now the car can chill as is for as long as I feel to get bored, but she drives well, so reason to make any changes.

Looks cool dude!
Got to have ZN Gold on the wheels ekse! lol

Car is looking good.
What is planned next?

What have you done with the old rims?

Lovely colour on the rims and they look great on the car. As already mentioned, side mirror colour needs to change though.

I forgot to ask, have you joined the guys from Audi Outcasts yet? The Car Guy now rolls with them, you'll get some quick social attention

Awesome stuff General!

I did the same, I paid R7k to extend the service plan for 3 years. I'm going to do it again soon as it really is worth it.

R8 V10+ FTW!!

FYI, my service plan has now lapsed, I still have the option to extend it until 2030.
Between October 2022 (45k km) and September 2025 (61k km) the car has had 5 services, including gearbox oil and brake fluid replacements), all covered under the service plan, invoices total R20,580.65

Not sure on next plans, will see, the car is parked pretty much on the weekends and I ride the bike.

But yea i still have the old wheels. Trying to sell them.

Like @Greenz said, they all seem pretty chilled. I had a chat with some of them a while back when they met up at N1, guys was super chilled.
Not your typical Audi doos attitude backed by super big heads and watermelon arm stance.

Check them out, they are active on meetups too.
