    The Avant Project - A Work In Progress.

    Do you have information on the 12 year anti-corrosion warranty?? I know VW used to do a 10 year warranty on the Golfs but couldn't find anything on the A4. I just got it booked in to the bodyshop and dealt with a few days after I found it. saves the hassle! A friend of mine has been waiting 18...

    I've been quoted £50 for doing the sideblades as it's a simple gloss black. I'm just going to go for it rather than wrapping it. My folks have just bought a B9 Sline but Audi haven't released a black edition yet, so we're going to wrap his window chrome. Audi have agreed to spray his grille...

    Was very surprised that the rust appeared at all on a 5 year old car! I was going to get the side blades sprayed black this month as well as have a black shark fin fitted but had to get the rust seen to instead. We're moving house at the end of June and will be even closer to the bodyshop I use...

    Evening chaps - bit of an update. After a couple of months travelling up to Inverness in pretty crap weather, it started to take its tole on the car... I found some rust on the tailgate!!! Pics below. One for everyone to keep an eye on as this exact spot is where all the water and sh!t from the...

    I've considered doing the dash surround in brushed aluminium effect 3M vinyl but I'd be worried about making them look the same, being vinyl. That's why I'm thinking gloss black. I might even plasti-dip it black... If you buy the metal one, you could mask off the red and spray the chrome with...

    Have you got a photo of your carbon wrapped trim?

    I'd definitely do the supports and fog surrounds in gloss black. I didn't do the fog light inserts as they're black plastic anyway! If you have spare interior trim then you'd be silly not to go for a colour change! Maybe a brushed aluminum wrap in a colour? I'm going to wrap the dash surround...

    If you have a look at my photo below, you'll see what I mean about the black supports making the splitter 'disappear'.

    The Whispbars definitely seem to be the quietest bars on the market ,so the fact that they're slightly cheaper than the Thule is a bonus! Chop and Xpower's cars are awesome and the colour matching looks cool, but it's maybe a bit too much for me. I think because they've modified their exteriors...

    Just checked out The Roofbox Company - great wee site and a really good price for the Whispbars, coming in £35 cheaper than the Thule set. Just bought a bike so may well invest pretty soon...

    Have to say, I'm very jealous of your new setup! Car looks great with the roof bars as well! Where did you pick them up? I've been looking at getting the Thule Aero bars which look very similar to the Whispbars...

    Hey buddy, how are the ARB/Brake mods doing? Been worth the upgrades?

    Looking great, it's been well worth the wait! Looking forward to hearing the reviews of the new stoppers and ARB's. What's your initial thoughts on the drive home?

    Any update on your calipers mate?

    The app is really straight forward and the mods are done using "on/off" switches. The mods I've done are: needle sweep, oil temp gauge, fog lights as cornering lights, rear DRLs and chirp on locking, passenger mirror dip on reverse... You can alter more to do with the lighting and locking, but...

    You'll need to let us know what you think of the ARB's once you've got them installed. Are you running Bilstein dampers with your Eibach Pro springs? The OBD scanner you need depends on whether you have an Android or Apple phone. I have Android so only needed the bluetooth version and it works...

    Very nice! They'll make a big difference! How much did the ARB's cost you? Have you used the Carista app yet? I bought it and an OBD II scanner and have enabled needle sweep, oil temp gauge, fog lights as cornering lights, rear DRLs and chirp on locking...

    Strange that T8ups would give you bulbs that would throw up errors. I'd def go with the Audi Sport decals if they fit. My plan for the spring it to get the wheels off and paint the calipers and splash guards... I've just ordered the black coolant and washer caps. R8 oil cap next!

    Meant to ask, what bulbs were you replacing with LED's that threw up the error codes?

    Like the look of the Audi Sport decal! Have you checked the measurements of the blank plate on your calipers to make sure they'll fit?
