What have you done to your 8V today?

[Bristle Hound]

@batch where did you get them? AliExpress have them pretty cheap but don't know the quality.

@Scottyg - Me thinks I may try a couple of sets from Aliexpress. Never had a problem with any gear I've had from them. Only problem is you have to be a bit patient as they can take a while. Saying that, the LED DRL's I got for the wife's new MINI only took 10 days from payment to delivery

Activated high-beam Assist on my Audi A3 with the use of my Active Lane Camera today.

Now I wonder when is Audi going to roll out that new tech they published a few months back about the new A4 and facelift A3 will be able to detect traffic signal stops.

We saw this tech used on a pre-facelift A3, so I suspect the ability to do it is present in our car, but likely not activated and will be turned on when they roll it out via Audi Connect, but likely not offered to pre-facelift.

Never had any issues with AliExpress. Bought a lot from the App. May give them a go.

I've used DHgate (very similar to AliExpress) for dozens of orders in the past, delivery was always very good, quickest arrived in 3 days by EMS!! I imagine if AliExpress sell them DHGate would too.

Cheers Si. AliExpress do sell them. Averaging $8 so very cheap.

Nice one Scott. Only chucked that on there in case they were cheaper or Ali ran out. Not likely to get cheaper than $8 though lol

 

[Daveotto]

OEM Audi from Peterborough Audi via eBay mate. Ummed and Ahhhhd between these or Quattro logo but might chuck a pair of them in the back doors.

I got these off eBay a couple of months back
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191713982239

But think the rings alone look better, might get a pair off aliexpress/DHgate e for the front and put the originals in the back

 

[rcnacura]

Very nice indeed !! Have you thought about replacing the flexible lines at the same time ?

 

[Rob2k68]

Just out of interest, which was does everyone put them in. 4 circle logo on the front & quattro logo on the rear or visa versa ?
@Scottyg @batch

 

[Scottyg]

@Bristle Hound since I've only two doors the four circles will be going there. Week off to get them ordered.

 

[azibux1]

Actually bought oem audi for the front from the dealer... Tempted by those S3 ones for the back but not sure if they look tacky

Also definitely don't want them to be dodgy and overheat or cause any electrical issues lol

May wait for yours to arrive and your mini review

@Scottyg @batch

Have rings up front and quattro in rears for best part of a year now and still gets positive comments from surprised passengers.

Rings emit more light so makes sense to have them where you need it most.

@azibux1 - I suspect the ones from Aiiexpress will the from the same manufacturer as the OEM 1's from Audi
When they arrive we'll compare the OEM 1's you have with the Aliexpress 1's, if you don't mind whipping your front 1's out (oh er lol)

I hardly ever use the back doors (phnaaar phnaar) so not overly fussed at the moment. I'll copy you if I do though mate!

Looking into the grill @batch ?

 

[Rob2k68]

So after receiving EBC front pads with broken clips and only fitting one side and then discovering there are no more Redstuff pads in the UK I proceeded to swap them out for yellowstuff pads.


........ and if you've seen my recent thread then bust the rear calliper.

Just hope it stops and doesn't have to come to rolling stop, you be there ages..Lol

Tempted by splitter - might have to get a Carbon one! And perhaps the grille if they do a black optic version. Easy job?

 

[Chris E]

Carbon interior trim has arrived, will add these to the car over the weekend.

PMSL - yep might just have to unplug the dyno to slow it down.

If the bhp starts with a 4 I'll be happy ;o) ..............
