Brennan's A4 B8 Progress Thread

[Brennan]

Next up is to get the exhaust sorted, SE exhaust looks rubbish and doesnt sit right with the S-Line diffuser. I will be going for an offset chrome twin tip.

I have also ordered a Rieger style boot spoiler from Ebay Germany, so it should be with me by Monday.

Set of 5000k HIDs coming in a couple of days as halogen lights are poor.

[r15wne]

may i ask where you got drl bulbs and pice and how many in each light, and were they easy to fit ive not even changed any bulbs to now so dont know whats inside, also about the hid kit sounds good any info on that and some pics after fitted would be nice thanks,motor looks stunning mate.

Changed yellow DRL to L

 

[Brennan]

Thanks lad. The LED bulbs are from eBay, they are P13W and you will need 4 of them, 2 for each headlight. they are usually sold in pairs. Mine are 11W, I got them as a set of 4 from WeSellHIDs, although I am having issues with one of the bulbs going out and coming back on every 2 seconds. Although I'm not entirely sure it's the bulb as my dipped beam H7 bulb was going dim and bright again one night. I'm hoping it's a loose connection somewhere.

As for the HIDs I'm fitting them hopefully tomorrow night so I'll take some pics for you

 

[Stevo M81]

Here matey i think i saw you yesterday around 12.10pm going past Newtownabbey tec heading to Carrickfergus direction. Was it you as i was a few cars behind you at one point then got held up by traffic lights.

Yep that was me lol been working in Carrick for the past 2 days. Funny enough I thought I saw you too, was going to mention it on here but forgot about it

 

[SI-W85]

What wheels are those? They look like rotiform sna? What width & offset are they?

 

[Brennan]

They are AVA Memphis lad, 9.5J all round. Not sure of the offsets as I haven't had the wheels off the car yet

Does the s line rear diffuser fit non s line. Where did you purchase yours and at what cost

No its not supposed to but mine has one, the dealer put screws up through it to hold it on looks ok though but i will be getting the proper s-line bumper soon

 

[Brennan]

Occassionally i like it when Mr post man visits

Would you mind taking a photo of the fitment when you get a chance. Might do this myself. Thanks

Is that the spoiler from Germany? Whats the quality like?

 

[Brennan]

Yeah mate, it seem to be good quality. Getting it on in the next few days so I'll get some pics up

 

[Brennan]

Pics of the Hids I installed, 5000k so not really blue

 

[Brennan]

 

[Stevo M81]

Hids look well, 5000k look the same as OEM ones

 

[s3_trev]

Nice progress. Good choice opting for the 5k rather than the whiter 6k or chavtastic 8k. At least you will be able to see where you are going! Oh and about the exhaust, plleeaaassseee dont make your car sound like a Bora/Toledo/Tractor with that "pppiiooww" sound. Naaaa I know you wouldnt you have more sense driving an audi lol

 

[Brennan]

Got my spoiler on last night. Its not as noticeable on a black car but adds a subtle sporty edge to the rear.

Hi mate loving the car. Just got a question about your HIDS is there a beam pattern on them? Were they difficult to fit?
Cheers

Hi mate when you say it purs has it altered the exhaust not at all ?

 

[Brennan]

Hi mate loving the car. Just got a question about your HIDS is there a beam pattern on them? Were they difficult to fit?

They are in halogen housings so the beam pattern isn't as sharp as they would be on projector housings, but it does the job fine. I have them angled down onto the road so they don't blind anyone. I haven't had one other car flash at me yet.

It's the best of a bad situation, I wish my car had factory xenon but this is the best I can do with what I have. The light output is fantastic compared to the poor halogen bulbs.

 

[Brennan]

Hi mate when you say it purs has it altered the exhaust not at all ?

Not sure what you mean bud but It has a low down pur to it, you can hear it when going up through the gears, not very noticable but it definitely wasn't there prior to removing the backbox

On a cold start there is moderate noise, you'd know something was removed from the exhaust but once car is warmed up it goes quiet again
