A5 seats in and electric lumbar working perfectly too, easier than I thought they’d be to fit. Rears next

Sorting my front grill rings, going black, snapped the clips getting the first set off, had to order another silver set from Audi as the don’t do black rings for this grill, been a pain, but worth it in the end, just need clipping on when they are dry. 
I thought blacking the rear was fiddly, but sorting out the front grill rings where the worse.

Done a few miles in mine from Oxfordshire up to North Wales, and enjoyed a few mountain roads in the area including Snowdonia.
Fitted revo induction kit to the S3 today, why did nobody stress how good it would sound

Started to paint the silver/black bits so it looks clean AF when you “pop the hood”

Finally got around to fitting the fan windscreen jets, great coverage! Will need to see how they do on the motorway and possibly adjust 
I put a new set of Uniroyal RS3's on the front.
There was some life left in them, but the passenger side had a slow puncture and the uneven wear had caused excess wear on the edge so I got them both replaced. Very impressed at how them performed and lasted approx 20k miles.

What's the general consensus of what a "cam chain kit" is, best practice?
I see a varying selection of "kits" available ranging from just chain and tensioner (£60-80), to chain/tensioner and a handful of seals (around £108 for FAI), to a kit with seemingly just more seals etc around £250.
basic chain & tensioner - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/fai-autoparts/7814777
mid level - https://www.autodoc.co.uk/fai-autoparts/7814780
full kit - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-...uattro&hash=item4d2f819048:g:jS0AAOSwrklVCyw0

I’d be going for this as I am keen on using genuine parts. Check the parts are for your car. I just used an S3 for the search.
If you give them a call you can also add in extras like the fuel pump bolts if needed:

Drove the S3 upto AKS tuning for a much needed haldex, gearbox oil change aswell as transfer box. Aparently the filter was full of gunk so never trust the B.S fed from a car salesperson... told me it was done prior to purchase of the car

Hi
Can you tell me about your alloys, did you swap them from something else?
What are the size details?
I have 17” alloys 7.5j ET54 and want to go for 18”.
Cheers
I have a set of these from my a3 8p front and back if anyone interested
