1 from bottom is the car just before it was towed out of a massively muddy car park at the F1 Silverstone last week!
and I've stuck one of the rest of my stable for any petrol heads out there, so far I've swapped in all my bulbs for either Led or blue 'xenon' style bulbs, fitted the rs4 reps and cleaned the hell out of it! Just had injectors courtesy of audi, Led rear lights are in the post just received kufatec fitting kit will update when fitted, Thanks for looking!
 
Not the quattro then buddy?!!

Rear lights are a must!

Nice car :thumbsup:
 
Ha yes mate Quattro would of been a dream at silverstone, to be fair tho a John dear tractor still struggled! Thanks!
 
Cheers n8 top sportback by the way, Still can't get the shortened number plate recess out of my head! The devil is in the detail!
 
Hello everyone, hope your all enjoying the Olympics!

A little update in we're I'm upto, since last post I've fitted Facelift rears, my private plate with pressed on the rear, new discs (pagid) pads (redstuff) and painted the callipers metallic black ( I like stuff clean!!)

I know you've prob seen more rear light conversions than you've had hot dinners! But I'm made up with the look, used kufatec dongle to flash and looms, lights were a fleabay job.

Anyone who's after new discs I'd strongly recommend Pagid as they come painted and not in oil which really does improve the look back to factory, also painted my rear disc centres in silver hammerite, it's a near perfect match, Thanks for looking, Andy

what bulbs u got in the headlights buddy?

also what was ur process for doing the callipers

Hi buddy, nice wheels! I especially love the colour:cool:
The bulbs are listed on flea bay as h7 xenon (they're not actually xenon) they have blue glass which produces a whiter light than oem, cost next to nothing and look much better, get them rear lights done too and we'll be car twins! Prob won't challenge you to a race anytime soon tho!

I picked up caliper paint off eBay, whip wheels off wire brush and brake clean callipers, paint them (whilst still fitted) carefully refit the wheel and move onto the next, takes a while tbh but worth it overall, cheers, Andy
