How how how Amy videos or articles you read to achieve this I need to know !!!!!
There was more effort to make the kit work as it is generic, with door modules and BCM, then getting the look and behaviour. I had to look at some basic electronics concepts again and used my diy skills for the most part, along with workshop manuals. A lot of trial and error, could only do on my own car.
Yes.. all doors are same.. if you defo want to do it you can message me on my insta ID zabs.snaps and i will be happy to help you out.
I must say.. it looks good, very satisfying project for me But what a pain it was to get it done!!
It was within two weeks. I think item arrived in 10 days then it took 2 days to receive letter from local depot for customs charge and it was delivered next day after payment.
AliExpress Standard Shipping always delivers within 2 weeks from dispatch day in my experience apart from one item that was lost (no tracking update) for a month in Netherlands. Headlights came via Netherlands also but total time was 10 or 11 days to arrive local depot from the Dispatch time! 3/4 days from order to dispatch.
Hello All,
This is my PFL 2.0 TDI 150hp manual, S line package.
Rear and front parking retrofit done (Aliex kit)
Waiting for spring time to do full paint correction + ceramic or wax.
Rotors need to be refurbished, thinking of satin black spokes + cnc'd spoke ends and rim combination (same as on picture).

Hadn't got time to play with activating visual aid, not that important to me as the beepers are working though.

Bought this one a few months ago now. Was highly in doubt to either get te hatchback or saloon. Went for the hatchback as I sometimes need the extra space.
Always been a A3 driver.. I've owned a 8L, many 8P's and finaly it was time for the 8V. In love with the virtual cockpit.. couldn't believe I finally got one
.
Many mods/retrofits in mind.. Apple CarPlay (currently busy), HBA mirror, front parking sensors (maybe in combination with PLA), side assist, interior ambiance lighting.. etc...

Thanks mate!
Did not had it on a dyno so nothing 'official' but the tuner told me it should be around 190PK (thats around 185BHP).
I dont want to push the 1.5 that much, I bought it because I want a nice specced car and not a gas slurping racemonster, would rather get me a 8P RS3 (love the 8P model, I have a weakness for the 8P..) haha
But cause of the DSG it's a speedy thing. Only thing I would love to have done is to get a new clutch as this is an ex-lease. With other words, previous owner probably was not as carefull with it as I am with it. I can feel there is space for a bit more improvement in clutch for the first few seconds I press the pedal. Next to that no remarks, car drives spot on after I've let it tune, excellent job and super happy with it.
190ps is a good round number for any car. I agree on the 8P, its a timeless model IMO and still turns heads today. Never say neverThanks mate!

I love Ara Blue color. I wish there was a matching wrap available.
Brought the beauty to TVS (Holland) today. Stage2++ DSG tune and a Motormanagement tune Stage2.
Photos from the dealer's website of what I picked up today.
