Looks the part, adds a bit more class to the interior, would putting around the door speakers be to much?

xpoweruk · Mar 27, 2016

I did consider it JG,but it may be a step too far lol

Yeh, you maybe right, does it come in different colours, I'm adding a bit of colour to the A5 this week, may not be to everyone's taste though but I love it (them)

I like it XP and the colour match isn't far off either you'll be searching your interior talking your self out of beading every bit you see

Update on the strut brace ....

They are built to order,so I'm awaiting manufacture of the brace

xpoweruk · Apr 7, 2016

Well the strut brace is cancelled
The company that makes them isn't playing ball.The site apologised,cant fault them TBH

However a new one has just hit the market for the S4 B8
Order commencing

Laurent · Apr 7, 2016

you should ask u2nelson on audizine for the brace, I bought it from him!

Laurent · Apr 7, 2016

oh unless it's no good for LHD..

Chop. · Apr 7, 2016

xpoweruk · Apr 12, 2016

Info is all in the thread Adam (had a bad day)

xpoweruk · Apr 12, 2016

Today was a bit of a mare.
Managed to rip the front bumper off after getting it trapped on a kerb/flag stone.

Made a good mess of the bumper,but managed to get another & it is on route .

Was ready to cry at the tome lol

Chop. · Apr 12, 2016

XP wtf

Not good bud did the splitter survive? How did you manage that, gutted for you mate

TechNick · Apr 12, 2016

Really sorry to hear about your bumper, XP.
Just a thought, but have you considered taking the opportunity to go down the RS4-styled route, such as this one?

I got something technical right!

desertstorm · Apr 15, 2016

Are you going to paint it or leave it white ? .
There are some fitted pictures in this thread.
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...trut-Brace-4pt-Middle-Lower-Arm-Brace-!/page2
I quite like the look of the CR-15 bar as it looks so simple and basically strengthens the factory attempt as a strut brace.
It also seems to get some very good reviews from people who have fitted a lot of the available upgrade parts and the CR-15 made the biggest difference.
In fact it looks so simple I have ordered some 10swg 1 inch ally tube and will have a go at making one myself. Shouldn't take more than an hour or two.
