Hi guys, this was originally posted in the B7 forum but I thought I'd post it here too. Not a lot gone on so far but here's where I'm up to..
I've been on here a few months now so thought it was about time I made a thread on my car. Not a great deal has happened yet, but here's what I've done so far
So a few months ago I picked up my 08 A4 S Line Avant Special Edition jobby, with the black optic pack. 6 Speed, 2 tone leather, different pedals, black headlining and pillars, Audi nav plus, no exterior chrome apart from the rings etc etc. I'm the 3rd owner and it's been well looked after in its life. The only real issue is there is slight paint bubbeling on 3 arches but it's going back to Audi in a few weeks to get done under the 12 year warranty
Here's a few pics of when I picked it up
I had a mate give it a full machine polish as it did have quite a lot of swirl marks
A leon Cupra R spliiter was then fitted
I was never a fan of the brushed steel effect trim in the otherwise all black interior, so I bought some gloss black ones out of a Quattro. I replaced the Quattro badge with a nice black S Line one too. I'll just need to get the ash tray covers and gear knob surround wrapped to match now. I also bought a new light switch surround as mine had a bit of paint peeling. A mate off another forum also sent me some black Audi Rings, unsure if I'll use them yet though.
It looks much better in there now
New rear discs & pads, front and back wipers and had the EGR cleaned and replaced the gasket whilst it was out, we didnt bother splitting the EGR so there was no use for the O ring and the paper gasket on the smaller pipe was fine. The part numbers are below if anyone is needing them. It's also had an oil and filter service
Picked up some genuine BLQ's in 19'' today ready for next year, they'll be getting a colour change before they go on. Got them for a great price so couldn't pass it up. I've also had the front wings replaced under Audi's 12 year corrosion warranty. Although I had to contribute 30% to it, still a lot cheaper for me though.
