    A7 C7.5 Steering wheel upgrade

    Thanks John, yes been a member for a long time after many years of owning Audis. Must say this steering wheel has been a nightmare in deciphering what does and doesn’t fit. Thanks for your help, made it a lot clearer. I’ll keep an eye out for the A6/7 flat bottom and bag combos which...

    A7 C7.5 Steering wheel upgrade

    Hi all, Done loads of research on this and think I’ve managed to decipher what can and can’t be retrofitted to the A7! I’ve a 2016 A7 3.0tdi with a round (non heated) steering wheel. I want to upgrade it to a ‘chunkier’ flat bottom if I can. What I’ve determined so far (I think!); - With my...

    Insurance and "factory "modifictions"

    I've just taken out my insurance with Adrian Flux. They have been very competitive for my stage 1 APR and lowered S3, £445 for the the year with lots of 'extras' such as legal cover, protected NCB etc..... Worth a call! Male, 40 something, no points or outstanding claims, parked off road etc.....

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    TBH I'm more than overwhelmed by the map, I won't be perusing the down pipe option or stage 2, just no need IMO! One happy bunny with more than enough torques for any UK road!! [emoji16][emoji3]

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    Ok, so had the map on nearly a week now and had the chance to give it a bit of a testing! I'm still absolutely blown away by its performance, it is brutal in Sports mode, so much so I'm finding I don't actually use Sports too much as you are taken from 0 to illegal at break neck speed. I'm...

    S3 floor mats?

    Milltek exhaust buyer beware

    Sounds like a little bird is living in your exhaust!!! Get on the Martin Lewis website and look for sale of goods act.....there is loads of advice. Certainly is not fit for purpose or as described! If all else fails take them to a small claims court who I'm sure would favor you!!! Typical...

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    Had it done at Awesome gti near Manchester, they are the main dealer for APR in the UK, so loads of support! Mine is the DSG, and there was no pressure whatsoever to go high or low. I'd done my research so went high as many are running it without any issues on the newer cars! The map came with...

    Remap my S3? OBD/Tricore?

    Just had mine flashed with an APR stage 1 at awesome near Manchester.... Transformed the car, I was cheeky and asked for discount otherwise off to REVO, they gave me 20% discount ;-) Worth every penny, amazing machine now, and from a trusted provider with millions available for R&D......always...

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    Only had it on a day and love it! Really impressed me, it just pulls like a train. I've had lots of cars with maps, and this definitely feels the best with power delivery and absolute kick in the back torque! I'm not a crazy driver so will probably not push the car to extremes (unless on a...

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    Sug it is unbelievably quick....pushing 380bhp from a 2.0tfsi is unbelievable! Be sure you get the high output file too ;-)

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    No rubbing! No idea on part number as they are not OEM wheels, but aftermarket wheels...... I wouldn't want to go any lower than ET45 though!

    Why is the like button a heart?

    As the title suggest, why a heart! It's a bit lame for a petrol head forum isn't it? Any chance the mods can change it to something a little less manby pamby?? Maybe a would be better, after all I don't love anyone I've never met before - apart from Myleen Klass that is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    28810-1 pal! I'm running 8.5 x 19"s (235 35 19s) with an ET45 offset. This is the perfect setup for me, not too aggressive and the wheel doesn't protrude from the arches = no spacers required [emoji3] and no rubbing at all!!!!!

    Anyone know which Alloys these are ?

    Each to their own! I love the RSVs, got my 19" summer alloys in this design, going for the RS6 diamond cuts for Winter also on 19"s..... Truth is modding is all about personal preference, I prefer a subtle mod where as some like extreme....we'd be a boring bunch if all our cars looked the same!!

    APR Tuned and Lowered

    Finally got the motor subtly dropped on the H&R sports (non mag so about a 15mm drop).....love the stance now on the ET45s...just right, no spacers (had loads of issues with them in the past!) and they don't stick out of the wings either! That was the first surprise on how much better the H&Rs...

    H&R Springs

    Actually, mine is obviously a 4WD so will be £369 from AMD. Hardly a considerable saving, especially if driving down to Essex from Manchester [emoji51][emoji23] £390 fitted at Awesome!

    H&R Springs

    Mike, S3 sportback! SJ, I'm going to ring Awesome Monday, that's a considerable saving ;-)

    H&R Springs

    Just rang them and told them I can get them for £190, told them where from, they checked on tinternet and matched! £199 for fitting though [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji50]
