Maybe not the greatest pics in the world but damn that looks sexy!!! Can't wait to pick up my Cosmos blue Sline sportback.


What spec did you order as well as what type of detailing did you have done?

They were £80 and yes genuine audi parts. Got them on ebay from an audi dealer as the audi parts website doesnt have them any more
Wakefield charged me £79.99 fitted so happy with that...only problem was when i asked what they had done with the original ones no one could find where they were so they having to find em and post em to me...mmmmmm fishy......but i want the old ones so that i can swap em back wen the car is changed.

Was talking to another forum member about this... If the Audi Beams give a focused light and not really ambient, I would be tempted to swap them for normal ones. It's good to have a good area of the ground lit up I reckon.

Thats the main reason why i bought them myself. I can fit them myself and also keep the old ones safe

Just got mine delivered yesterday, absolutely living it. Not the best pictures as they were rushed and haven't had chance to get anymore thanks to the lovely weather we're having!

Picked up my SE 1.0 TFSI in brilliant black on Friday. Absolutely love it. The engine is smooth and torquey enough to keep it moving well enough. Now I know what Audi quality is all about.

I did not let the dealer wash it and I collected it with a collection of little stickers on it. Detailed it yester with Poorboys Black Hole glaze and Collinte wax. Still got wheel sealing to do later today.

Some poor quality iPad pics here... Last one is the reflection of the sky on the bonnet.

I have the Audi beams and really like them - they are certainly better than 'standard' or P/F/L BUT if you want the best white light output over the largest area then search on here for trups upgrade puddle light LEDs. Less than £20 a pair from memory and by far the best light output of all 3 that I've had.

Lovely, very nice indeed. Not sure why the 3 door appeals slightly more to me, but that looks good in black.

What spec does it have?

Welcome - that looks truly stunning in Panther and great contrast against the chrome. Incredible reflections too! Don't get to see many 3 doors on here so nice to see something different.

Mark my words Karen....i will be getting my old ones...or they will be supplying some new ones as the car is only 6 weeks old and there was nothing wrong with em. Can't believe they didn't just put em in the boot. Very fishy.

Lovely that mate.....but i feel your future pain.....black looks fantastic but a pain to keep away the swirls...that why my last car was black but be a while before i have another. Good Luck mate... but it really looks stunning in the pics.

i have to agree with Rob.. when i opened the doors the lights hardly light anything up....at least the Audi Beams throw a little light downwards...Mrs got in the car today and saw em...told her the ones i'd had removed were just blanks and that we needed these to light up the ground when getting in the car.....think she went for it. :)

Suspicious indeed... I actually forgot to mention it to my dealer when they fitted mine, but even without me asking, they put them in the box of the new ones in the boot :)

Lovely mate, what did you do to the grill? are the wheels the standard 18's?

I got the car De-chromed around the Windows and front grill, and yes that's the standard 18's I'm getting it lowered on Tuesday hopefully:)

Just going for 25mm H&R

I'm from Northern Ireland so a local company art in motion did it for me,

Windows getting tinted today and then detailed on Wednesday.

It's a good look as I'm not a lover of too much chrome.. I'm getting the same springs and Windows tinted. Are you just having the rear windows done?
