What have you done to your 8V today?

I know I'm gonna get slated but always liked the roof rails on a sportback but with keeping cost down wasn't gonna do a full OE retrofit. Anyway these cost £120 including shipping from China and tax. Plan to plastic dip them and do the same with the outside chrome of the car. I will not be attaching a box as these are only for cosmetics.

I am sure it will look great. We are waiting for the photos after the installation.
Any link from where you bought them??

Do they turn blue if the climate control is set to a cooler temperature? ;)

It seems this is possible using a thermochromic paint or pigment. It would be really nice indeed! :sly:

This would be a cool LED feature. If hot, turn red, if cool turn blue.

Great job mate.

I asked my lad the other day which car he likes the best - his reply - the Audi.

The reason - because you could turn the air vents black and red. Some people are hard to please LOL !!

Changed my mind on the grille mate, putting the money towards a wee holiday instead, plus lt would cost me the best part of £200 bangers to pay someone to fit it, spent so much money on Detailing tools and products last week as well far too much

PMSL !!!

He misses watching DVDs on the MMI too once I’d changed the VIM to blank the screen at 255mph rather than 2mph.

On a positive he likes the blue lights on the door but says the rears should have them too. Can’t argue with him tbh will take him with me when buying the next car ;o)

He also likes the DCC and always asks me to put it in comfort mode - proper back seat driver !!!!

Yeah don’t blame you mate - keep it looking original. That’s the problem with these things finding someone you can trust and splashing the cash for installation. Just got some stainless brake hoses for mine and quoted £200 to fit those so probably be a job for me when the warmer weather arrives.

More detailing products !!!!!! ;o)

No work boredom can be a killer on the wallet, spent a fortune on Lego and new bikes and new clothes I dont need in the last couple of months, got a list of car cleaning stuff as long as my arm but holding off until the spring and the better car cleaning weather.....might have to get a job just to stop me spending :)
