newbie with lots of questions..

Hi there, I have just bought my first audi (A4 1.8T quattro SE) and loving it already
I have a few things I would like to do to it and could do with some advice.

1/ I was wanting to put on a boot lip spoiler and found a few cheep ones on ebay (see below) but not sure how good quality these might be. Does anyone have any experiance with these cheeper ones or am I better just shelling out fort a proper audi part?
Audi A4 / 01-05 Boot Lip Spoiler Lightsilver met LY7W on eBay Body Modifications, Exterior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (item 130140341874 end time 06-Aug-07 20:07:00 BST)

2/ My car has the 18 inch TT alloys on it but as it is an SE model it sits quite high and I was thinking of lowering it by an inch or so. Would I be able to use a set of standard A4 sport springs to do this or would I have to get a set of aftermarket ones?

3/ I was also thinking of boosting the power a bit. It has 163 BHP as standard but searching the net I found I can get 30 or so HP more from a chip or remap.
I thought a remap for about £350 would be my best option but any advice is greatly appreciated!

4/ This sounds a stupid question but where is my arial??
The radio breaks up a bit which I thought might be a loose connection but am buggered if I can find my arial! (sorry for being thick!)

Any way thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions anyone may have
Greatly appreciated
Cheers
Dave

That boot spoiler went for too much money but that type is fine.

You could go Sport springs if you do not have them already and you can check by looking to see if your shocks are red but if you do want sport springs I have a set for £50 if your intrested.

What year is your car as I think you may have a B6?
