A yellow, convertible TT - VERY masculine 
Thoughts on this?

Why not spend ~£500 and remap what you've got? Unless the real reason you're changing is because you bought the wrong car and now want a cabriolet.
Probably because it would still be a boring Audi A4, just with a tiny bit more pull. OP wants something a bit more sporty.

A far better idea - I'm amazed at how cheap these are now, when I looked at them only 12 months ago you couldn't find a TT-S for under £28k!
I have looked into a remap. The issue is I have been told several times that with the newer a4, Audi have secured the ecu and the only way to get around this is to physically cut it open to bypass and reset. Plus insurance quotes are 2000 plus
Ultimately it still wouldn't be very exciting. As mentioned, I'm just after something a lot sportier and although I realise there are better choices if that's my only priority, it's not, I also love the looks of the car and think the interior is gorgeous and even with our shocking weather really want a convertible
For the mileage and spec including the s tronic, it is a good 2-3000 cheaper than anything else on the used approved website. Why do people think this is. Is it all down to the colour? If I went for it I'm planning a few mods starting with a black refurbishment of the alloys

You paid the deposit before you even saw it?
It's an Audi Approved Used car. I paid a deposit on my 335i before I saw it too. Standard procedure - they refund you if you dont like it.

Thats not so bad then. Audi approved means very little from what I've heard, some very ropey cars on their books.
The deposit is refundable. It was just to secure and so they could make a start on the process so its ready to drive away tomorrow
When I was looking at approved used S3's i was pretty much told that it was normal practice to pay the £500 deposit site unseen.
