Ebay, pack of six for about £2 delivered :) Could be enough to make a joy rider think twice!!!

I got finger prints on the first two so binned them, the next one wasn't 100% straight so I tried to take it back off and messed it up...4th and 5th went on fine...so 1 spare lol.

SJ43,

I have considered going aftermarket but I'd like to keep the car as OEM as possible with the exception of maybe illuminating the rear B&O grilles as well.
I will look into the subwoofer, I think I'll initially fit it and see but I do have an amount of deafness around 2-4khz so I may not even hear it correctly.

cheers David.

Ah fair enough David.

If you have deafness in that frequency range definitely wise to fit the original and see how you get on..

Best of luck.

Looking good mate, how easy/hard do you find keeping the Daytona swirl/scratch free?

I know this is the S5 but I think it looks great on the shape of the car....if the price is right I may go A5 coupe next.

It's a really easy colour to keep on top of of you maintain it right from the start. A coat of a good quality wax every 4-6 weeks is what keeps mine looking sharp. As for swirls and scratches, Daytona is rock hard so very difficult to inflict damage on. Use snow foam and 2 bucket wash method followed by a premium quality microfibre drying towel to safely take care of it!

If you Amazon search for "personalised tracker sticker" you can get ones with your number plate on them for a more 'real' look.

Not trying to rain on your parade @S32B, just thought I'd mention it in case anyone was interested :)

Get most of those picks over onto the detailing section. Stunning work. Love the fleck and sparkle of Daytona.

Yeah I did see those, didn't like the 'scan code' part and thought the Audi one's would look more classy/original...if you can get a classy sticker lol.

Not done it yet, but did order a set of mudflaps. Always had mudflaps on my cars, except this one. Will see if I like them when they're on.

Finally got my power folding mirrors retrofitted! Even though these are suppose to be LHD, they are indeed RHD. I need to figure out how to disassemble the mirror to add the mounting base so the driver side is at the right angle.

If you have the LED rear lights that I think come when you spec xenons or S-Line and above then you need the same as me.

Basically if you have the same cluster as an S3 or in my pics then you need that same bulb fitting BAX9s.
