    A standard grill and standard colour on wheels would add a grand to value

    Best value water proofing is products listed as tent water proofing, cheaper than the same stuff called convertible car roof water proofer.

    Thanks for the video. I'm weighing up restoring my dad's 2008 A3 cabrio. Currently own a much newer MK6 Golf Cabrio in much better condition so used to the platform. Unsurprising to see the state of the boot loom, sadly.
    I do exactly the same with eBay and cross checking 😂

    Great tip on search !!!
    I’d always go a bit higher in price and test the water and leave your self some margin for discounting and if does not sell within a week then chip it down
    I know the car is not to everyone’s taste with the black wheels and grille but it just maybe what a customer is looking for. Better to give a customer options
    Great vid and good bargain for you guys

    TT wheels...should be 17" wheels from factory...only the top spec a3 Cabs came with 18", same with the Golf mk6 Cabs.....love my MK6 cabriolet, not a fan of the A3 cabriolets.
    12 seconds for roof is spot on, can also be operated upto 17mph, you don't have to be stationary.
    Best stuff to waterproof the roof is autobrite fabri sheild, 9-12 month protection

    In my opinion it needs the wheels returning to silver and a badge on the front.

    Joe that little Audi looks a beauty. Although a little bit drug dealer’s car with the badge and them black wheels ( I’m old). But once you have worked your magic I’m sure you will make a healthy profit. Thank you for the great ebay tip. Looking forward to your next one👍👍

    This isn't a good looking car but it's not particularly offensive to look at and it'll make a nice car for someone.
    It's not a Chrysler PT Cruiser that's for sure. The worst looking car in history.
    p.s. the wheels do look like they come from TT Mk 1 so I think you're right.
