Well, I said I'd keep it totally standard, but already I'm doing stuff (small things but wants!) so thought I'd start a thread... Why the fuck not.
Anyone that knows me knows that "keeping it stock" means "keep it stock for a few days, then cave and modify the fuck out of it... FML.

First up, passenger side wheels are scuffed - bloody idiot previous owner obviously couldn't park for shit...
Spoke to a wheel refurb guy who was doing my neighbours car yesterday by complete coincidence, and he's offered to do them for £240 including any colour I want. And there's the first problem 
Dark anthracite I think Longer term, I'll probably dechrome the car (optic pack for those in the know), so black grille surround, black roof rails etc. wheels hopefully would be suitable.

I've just shot my bolt!!
I don't like chrome trim either, will look much better with the pack on. Have you not considered saving a few quid and getting the chrome wrapped?

Yeah I have considered it mick but don't know about the finish on the fiddly bits like the roof rails. If I can find one that's been done well I'll reconsider for sure 
I want privacy glass too but torn as to go proper and just do rear or "fuk da police" and do the whole car. Let's be honest, whole car in a light tint would look epic...
Wheel colour?

I think it perfect as it is I would get the wheels refurbed and the glass slightly tinted.

I don't dislike it now obviously. But then you gotta look at tints and an optic pack which gives you this:
Mother of god. Nom nom.

My mate owns a company called Derwent Vinyls they do all that carry on, they have a Facebook page etc. Ok it's miles from you but I'm sure there's some pics of BM's which they done and it'll give you an idea.

Recently had it back from Audi after replacing a DRC shock (and a full DRC drain and recharge), CV boot and a few other small jobs (brake fluid change etc). Now it's simply mighty handling again and I love it. So confidence inspiring now the suspension is sorted again!
Anyway - it's off to AmD in Essex for a decoke as there's no history of it ever being done and the car's got a lot of miles on it - so I would say it's probably about 50hp down on standard right now. That'll be the first week of May.
All I've done so far is choose a place to do the window tinting (Trade Tints - only 1/4 mile from my house so perfect - they're crazy recommended by loads of people I've spoke to). I've also replaced the DRL's with white LED's rather than the standard bulbs - always thought it was odd the headlights are so awesome but they are let down with the yellowish DRL's. Looks much better now. Also replaced all interior bulbs with white LED ones - really brings it up to scratch.
That's all until I get paid now as I've spent too much already this month lol - wheel refurb and tints next, then the decoke and maybe a cheeky remap... We'll see what funds allow.

An AmD map will give you 300bhp exactly.
No mention of a Milltek or other such noise maker yet?

Already has a non-res, non-valve miltek. Thank god - because I can't afford one
After a decoke and a remap I'd like to see about 430hp. Should make the car come alive.

Quick photoshop to a black grille and darker wheels. I think that's how I want it!
