What have you done to your 8V today?

Actually, the cost is still less than a midspec S3. And why buy a car and not actually use it properly?

Saw this bloke attempt to climb Canary Wharf Tower many years ago, in the rain...had to be rescued by window cleaning lift, after being "stuck" at one point 3/4 of the way up for over an hour

Trim was "lifting" on either side and in the middle. The Audi official fix is to change the complete door-card for a new one but as these trims are held on with 3M VHT I thought to just repair it myself. Soooo not interested in dealing with any Audi dealerships...
Do yourself a favour and don't work out the cost per mile so far lol
Do the grub screws on each corner tighten on to the side of the existing shifters or over the edge if that makes sense? Just trying to figure out if installing them will mar/leave indentations on the existing ones.

These look spot on, how long did they take to arrive from HK if you don't mind me asking?
They look like they only fit over the small OEM paddles, so won’t fit any S3s that have the RS style larger silver paddles.

What have I done.. go to the petrol station again, 7th time since Sunday lol.
Done just over 1000 miles since Monday morning ... lots of car time.

thats what i have, im struggling to find some to fit these. I assumed they were all the same.
Bigger paddles here too.
The FL S3s get the smaller paddles, the larger silver paddles are now reserved for the RS3.
They can be changed though, some people on this forum have bought the larger silver ones from Audi as they are direct swap.

Haha, always good to get lots of car time, hard on the wallet though, more so if using v power or ultimate

Hey @rcnacura I'm about to install the RS3 air guide to my S3 as well, just wondering what brakes are you using and all clearance checked out from lock to lock? And does you car has the stamped steel arms or casted aluminum version? People over at the R forum saying it needs modifications?
No clearance issues, weird they would need modifications as RS3 brakes are usually bigger than A/S3 variants. I have Stoptech ST40's bbk. Looks like I have the aluminum forks.

Haha yeah, though also difficult as was around the Lake District / Yorkshire Dales area and had to plan when and where I got fuel haha. At one point unless went on like a long detour to get 97/99RON, I had to put in standard 95 (which was still expensive enough from the BP which had no ultimate!).
So lots of visiting the petrol station but not always for fuel tanks as rather not pay £1.39 or something at a Shell for a full tank when later in the day would be visiting Costco at £1.21 or whatever!
Though spending 9 hours in the car on Tuesday was probably enough, albeit not a bad place to be really in the 8V

Are these held on with M3 tape or an allen key?
It’s a complete OEM assembly, paddles & switches combined. You change the whole thing, but it is a direct fit with the existing connections on the steering wheel.

Very shiny mate. Gutted my diffuser was split. Hopefully I get the replacement soon. Old one went back this afternoon.

Did they make you part with any cash for the new one?
I’d love an exhaust system, but baby Boyd is
on the way so I’ll have to carry on enjoying my little res delete!

No direct swap, just had to fork out for return postage. My babies are 25 and 21 so no issues this end. Grandson likes it when I put the foot down. Keeps asking if we can go fast.

Not printed, I cut the Audi-Sport.net logo and stuck that on some foam board, then stuck the blue and black over the top to give it the 3D effect

They are a one off.
