It the standard airbag for the rs6 steering wheel but I got it cheap as it was scratched so I smoothed it and sprayed it satin black

That's one agressive looking sportback, b19ctr! What sidelights and Xenon bulbs are those? They match u really well.

There just Philips Blue Vision sidelight bulbs loading ... I tried loads of LED's but kept getting errors on the dash

Looks stunning, S3 rear valance added to mod list... is it a straight swap?

From the standard s-line suspension, how much lower is it sitting?

Do you notice a huge difference after fitting the Forge Quick Shift?

 

[Bugsy_27]

Looking forward to seeing your pics tomorrow, might stick a few of mine up I took :thumbsup:

Yeah I'm sure MJ can do a 100% better job

 

[warrenlord]

believe me and you have a mutual buyer friend haha, Rob the lad who bought your rear brake setup has bought my s3 front setup. nice lad, he started talking about the rears etc then said somthing about who he bought them off (you) somthing about s5 seats with stitching, so i asked more indepth and of course he described the car as yours.

he said about you being bit done over by the guy you bought some front brakes off? hope everythings ok bud.

 

[b19ctr]

Yeah the front callipers I brought over a year ago were both front offside but I didn't realise till I came to fit them

But I'm having a chat with Midland VW about going another route

 

[evocos]

You know my thoughts Chris,this car is stunning

Look forward to seeing this mod come together

[N8]

Nice one Chris, any interest on the interior?

 

[b19ctr]

Had one guy offer me his full black leather plus cash but I'd rather have a cash sale tbh

 

[N8]

Course you've already got the finest S5 leather in the land

 

[b19ctr]

It will sell it's on a few forums as well as piston heads and egay

 

[N8]

Wicked bro, keep me updated, I know you will anyway

 

[b19ctr]

I've had no issues zed. The engine is a lot smoother when it comes to power than the 140 I had before. The Quattro system is awesome I'm going to find it hard when I change cars in a few years as I'll want Quattro again.

 

[b19ctr]

Forge have mentioned there will be other developments for the 170 tdi
