Default Mod and keep, or stay stock and turn in?

OK, I'm on the tipping point here. I have an '06 2.0T that I got on Audi's 'premier purchase'(finance 1/2 the sell price for a given term--39 months in my case) because I liked the idea of having a new Audi every few years or so. The thing is, all these articles about gauges, turbos, body kits, exhaust ect. has me simply salivating. I currently just have it chipped (I also have the S line pkg), but there is so much more I can do! I was going to put a test pipe on it, boost gauge, wheels, Oettinger front bumber and skirts, among other things. But of course this would kill the resale and void the warranty.

So, do I get some self control and look forward to the '09 A4, or go all out and keep mine until its ready for the scrap yard?

Opinions pls.

dude i would keep it, a modded car with nice wheels and a drop that sounds tight is way better than a stock new car, period... no questions asked.

you could wait till you get the 09 A4 to really start modding. a chipped b7 s-line would be fine for me for a year. in the meantime i would save up money and mod the hell out of the 09
