Looking good, thinking of something similar for mine...

 

[Chris Nelson]

Like it mate the little yellow highlights set it off nicely

 

[Chop.]

Cheers lads I have to say I'm loving it now

I don't mind the grey dash trim, but as my design consultant JG has mentioned I might do the centre chrome as its the only bit left

****** air bag lights on now though, any ideas, I had the passenger air bag warning light unplugged and the trim off the passenger front ??

Looking sweet

From my purchase history

Perfect! Thanks Chop!

 

[matt_cunningham1985]

Dash was too much yellow so it's just the door trim and passenger front

Your interior looks awesome - getting very jealous now! I wrapped the trim in my A3 in silver carbon fiber but never thought about going for a colour...!

Have you thought about the roof rails in the same colour?

I hadn't realised that the S4 doesn't have the black head liner like the S line trim. If you're taking the roof bars off anyway, maybe change the head liner over at the same time? Just a thought...

 

[Chop.]

I'll try fuses tomorrow, I didn't know if it was maby just a reset thing with having it unplugged

Main thing is it's all yellow hahaha

If you buy a cheap OBDII scanner on Amazon and download the Carista app, you'll be able reset the errors.

 

[Chris Nelson]

Ive had lights like that disappear overnight from having stuff disconnected mate hopefully thats all it takes but youre right its yellow mate haha

Cheers buddy all the colour is really taking shape now I can't take all the credit though it was @xpoweruk that started it off with his red and @JG51 AUD that got me going on the yellow with mine

I should be getting roof rails and window trim wrapped black next week it's been on my list for a long time

Yeh it's a shame the head liner isn't black I didn't notice it to start with but the more Iv blacked up its really standing out, in front photos you can see the door pillars and roof stand out, might get round to it some day but it's not in my plans at present

Mate from work has some Audi gear I might just pay him a visit

OBD sound like it's worth a buy as well though

If you have an Android phone, you only need a bluetooth OBD scanner for £13, but if you have an iPhone, you need a wi-fi version.

Here's the one I bought: Amazon product

The Carista app is free to download, then there's a one-off fee of £15 when you want to make your first mod, then it's free for every mod after that as the first purchase unlocks it.

Here's a link to their site: http://www.caristaapp.com/ - It's great for keeping an eye on your car's health, but I've also used it to enable things like needle sweep on start up, tilt passenger wing mirror when reversing, oil temp monitor, cornering fog lights, daytime rear running lights, chirp on locking etc...

 

[Chop.]

Cheers for the info mate I'm Gona get that

 

[matt_cunningham1985]

Cheers for the info mate I'm Gona get that

The one I bought is for Android, but if it's an iPhone you have, there's a few wifi scanners that have been recommended in the Carista forum:

Cheers bud, well I'm not great with this sort of stuff so I just bought the actual Carista one for iPhone, not the cheapest but in the grand scheme of things it's not much compared to what Iv spent on paint and vinyl

Sensible move - it's at least guaranteed to work!

 

[Chop.]

Yeh I looked at a few of the others and they got good reviews, and a lot of them seem to work in the Carista forum but there was a few that didn't and I'm rubbish at sending stuff back so prob better this way

re. airbag warning light, I had this also when I wrapped the A4 in carbon, it went away the next day, hopefully yours will do the same mate.

I had the airbag warning light after my door chrome was painted as they removed the doors to do it. Once the error was reset, it never appeared again.

 

[Chop.]

Nice one at least it gives me something to put out with my new scanner

Sounds like money well spent Chop, did you do needle sweep or do you already have it.
JG

 

[Chop.]

Needle sweep was already on, but cracking little tool cant believe I didn't get involved earlier

They do seem to get some good reviews on here, by the sounds of things it's paid for it's self already.
I love needle sweep, put it on my A4 SE, sat in the car all day switching it on and off just to see it working, small things/small minds and all that, lol!
JG

 

[xpoweruk]

Looking excellent Chop.

 

[Chop.]

Cheers XP that centre console was a pain, think if it gets re-done I'll do it in place

Yeh was well impressed when I first got the motor and seen the sweep for the first time

Delighted that's all that you needed to do to get rid of the warning light - even better you got some added extras in the process ;-)

Trims look really classy in the dark! The centre console trim is a nice touch.

 

[Chop.]

Cheers bud, thanks for the help, it's a cracking little tool simple to use too

Really happy with the trim, glad I knicked the idea from @xpoweruk

 

[xpoweruk]

It's a good look Chop

nice to be a little different too

Yeah, was looking to see the interior trim. How close is the vinyl colour to your exterior trim?
