What have you done to your 8V today?

Decided on a little TLC this morning - been neglectful of late.

"Homemade homelink" in the front panel??? What what what??? How did you do this?

Right all done

I'm happy with the finish and think it blends in nicely. There are a few imperfections as the can was running out and 'spitting' paint at the end but overall I'm not fussed as it's all dark inside anyway and not visible haha.

Also pulled off the lining before painting, didn't pay too much attention to how much plastic was visible before, so could have / should have pained a bit more of the inside (thought the lining covered more than it did), but again, not fussed as 99% of the time you won't see the inside haha

Fitting of the product seems good, I wouldn't say it is 100% as solid as the grab handles, understandable though since the clip mechanism is a Chinese copy.

8/10 overall to the product and my painting haha. Much better and more useful than the grab handle. Allows for easy switching between normal glasses and sunglasses

Will edit a link into here shortly...

EDIT: eBay item number 262504722320

Let me know what you think!

Can you fit larger sunglasses in these or only the mostly fold-flat kind?

Someone at my work has a Floret Silver TT with the 20" alloys. The profile of the tyre is incredibly low, and the alloys are soooo close to the ground. They must also take an age to clean, having to attend to all 80 spokes! :D

Hmm well I have a pair of these below but they do fold relatively flat I guess

https://www.specsavers.co.uk/glasses/tb9057-sun-rx-09

Something that is big and chunkier, meaning it wouldn't fold as flat 'may' not fit, like this

But I'm just guessing. To think about it though, the holder would probably just be a bit more 'open' rather than right up against the headlining, it would still hold the glasses I think?

Today I will no doubt, as always, be mostly spending it trawling through the Internet, pointlessly dreaming of bigger turbos, custom mapping, coilovers, DTM bodykits, picnic bench rear wing :tearsofjoy: and all sorts of motor sporting paraphernalia that I can't buy until my warranty runs out and I've finally moved house...:weary::sleepy::confounded::scared2:

I'd imagine the slightest pot hole would also be a worry!

I've had my brand new S3 2 weeks and I'm just about ready to say screw it to the warranty and I'll take my chances.
But I'm reckless and a gambler.
And I want about 50% more power atm I think. Not doing that with my warranty intact.

Took mine in for its first service yesterday, removed the MTM M-Cantronic but left everything else in situ. Also had my MMI cable and S3 keyring replaced - cable has been a bit hit-and-miss, and the keyring had split!
Alice the Service advisor LOVED the car and we ended up having a long chat about her amplified TT TDi and how best to tune it!

Gonna try some very light wet&dry paper then a cutting polish I think. Provider of rims has a touchup pen he says match the rims perfectly. I'll post when done in next couple of days.
Received carbon mirror caps. RS3 Style grille should land today (black audi rings coming) and Bilstein B14 PSS are being shipped post haste!
Still no luck with finding black window trim which doesn't require a second mortgage. Vinyl wrappers wont do it. Professional spraypainters dont want to know about it,
.....and I felt that if I got Audi to do it I'd be taking advantage of them at such a low cost of $3400AUD:wtf:
Still looking for a solution.

What about this one lol? Repaired rim today. Found a touchup paint with perfect match. "treadwear 200" on the tyre is where the damage is.Pretty much right on the 200.
