    Chrome Audi Rings

    Hi guys, I took delivery of my C8 RS6 in Rubino Red on Saturday. It is a Vorsprung model and therefore comes with blacked out optics. I would like to change the front and rear rings to chrome, and keep everything else black. Does anyone know where I can find OEM chrome badges to fit to...

    Wheel size on winters

    Does anyone know if I will get away with a 225/50/R17 wheel & winter tyre on my B9.5 S4 - appearance not too important over winter. I hadn't even considered the discs & callipers etc but now I think about it they may not even go on!

    A4 B9 Avant rear seat lock

    I collected my new B9.5 on Tuesday and that night went to collect something that I had bought on eBay, and therefore had to put the seats down. I pulled the right hand latch in the boot, all fine. Then pulled the left and it over extended (i'm sure I didn't pull that hard). Now the latch itself...

    B9.5 - S4 Avant Essential Options

    Hi all, Thanks for your comprehensive replies. I took delivery of the new car this week and I am absolutely loving it. The car was a pre-reg 'Launch' car with 120 Miles on the clock. The 'Launch' element supposedly means it it was specced by Audi UK & therefore has certain options which are...

    S4 2021MY sound actuator or not?

    Collected mine on Tuesday - Sound actuator fitted. No idea of chassis number however. Loving the car though - also managed 49.8mpg on the way to work which is only 14 miles on A roads. The problem is that it is SO tempting to put your right foot down and then suddenly im seeing mid/late 20s...

    B9.5 - S4 Avant Essential Options

    Buying outright and used/new/nearly new. Thanks for the advice, which surprises me. I had the HD Matrix on my A6 and it was a real game changer for me. The options don't seem to have quite as much effect on the value of the car on the used market. I am just trying to find a good one with lots...

    Replacement HD Matrix LED Lens Cover?

    The only impact point was the headlight so like you say, low damage but high cost - considering if the deer was 2ft further into the road i'd imagine a whole lot more damage and potentially even undrivable.. Re the deer, all I know is it did get away! Can imagine he had quite a headache though..

    Replacement HD Matrix LED Lens Cover?

    Thanks for the info everyone. I have decided to go with a new lens and attempt to replace just the lens.. Will let you know if it goes well!

    Replacement HD Matrix LED Lens Cover?

    The other option is - I have found a used one on eBay for £550 but I am wondering whether it will need to be recoded to the car etc or whether it will work just plug and play..? I have doubts that it'll be that simple.

    Replacement HD Matrix LED Lens Cover?

    Thanks guys. I have found a lens cover on eBay for £180(ish) and I am wondering whether its worth trying to fix it myself and if it goes wrong then I will still be in the same situation IE having to get a whole new unit! I have covered it in PPF type vinyl for now to stop any moisture getting...

Does anyone have any insight on whether it is possible to change just the lens cover.. or have...
