Thanks, I think the same. Got complimented yesterday by the guys at R-tech as they saw the car and thought it looked well looked after, and when they saw the mileage on their paperwork they had to double check the Odo incase it had been written down wrong.changes the back nicely. old ones make the car look...old
sadly, even though ive got those lights already on my car from standard, i need to order another pair as crack in one of them and water ingress in the other ***
I picked up the rear lights for the car today and I have to admit that I am more than a little impressed with how much better they look, I should have done this months ago.

Both lights cost £188.98 thanks to the St Patricks day code, so they were too good a price not to buy.

Knowing that made me look at what is left on the car that ages it, and it was the rear lights. Not anymore!
Try ECP for the lights, they could still be on offer.
I just wash them with the rest of the car once a week. No special treatment.How have you managed to keep the exhaust tips so clean?!
They are darker.Looking at the new rear lights, maybe it is my monitor not picking up much of a difference but are the new ones darker and what else is different in the unit?
Do the new units come with bulbs and is everything just plug and play? Are the new ones a perfect fit with no gaps etc? Does this company make the OE Audi lights? What model year are they from as I have just found that OE 2011 are the darkest? Quite keen on an upgrade if it is really worth it and my S3 is red and everything blends in together with the standard lights.

The bulb layout is different and no bulbs are included
Brake lights are a wedge type bulb and main rear bulb needs to be smaller than the same bulb in the old unit.
Once you have the correct bulbs in it, you just plug and play. No coding, no gaps Straight fit
I moved some bulbs across and was lucky to have the others sat around not being used.Thanks for your reply.
Do you have a link to the bulbs required or is it on the box etc?
Also how do you switch maps with your RTech remap?

I'll try and find a link to them later today.
The maps are easy to change.
Ignition on but engine off.
Hold foot on the brake and press accelerator pedal with the other foot. Each press makes the rev needle move up a number on the rev counter which indicates which map you are on. Then simply start the car and it remains on that map until you change it yourself..
I have only tried number 5, that's what I wanted from the start.
Indicator bulbs should move across. I already had silver effect bulbs instead of orange ones.Thank you!
That's a pretty damn cool way to do it!...Each press makes the rev needle move up a number on the rev counter which indicates which map you are on....
Yeah, it is. My mate has a MK5 R32 and I let him drive mine this afternoon. Started with the stock mode and then told him how to move to level 5 and test drive it again. He loved the way it switches maps, and the performance gains.That's a pretty damn cool way to do it!

View attachment 132602 Hi all,
new A3 owner here. Picked up a 2010 2.0 Black edition quattro a couple of weeks ago
Started to install an RSN-e unit today.
Good idea to replace the air box grommets. If it flops around too much it can put pressure on top of the hpfp and cause a crack in the plastic on the top. If that happens a new fuel pump is needed or at least a replacement sensor from a donor pump.Not much to add this week.
I did buy some LED Number plate lights from Ebay. Fitted them today and sadly only one of them worked, and whilst it was bright and a significant improvement, it's no good to me on it's own so they got removed.
Luckily I had some Festoon LED bulbs and they both fit perfectly and worked really well. Not as bright as the lights from Ebay, but much brighter than the standard Festoon Bulbs, and if I'm honest I think the Ebay bulbs would have been too bright in the dark.
I also replaced all 4 rubber mountings on the bottom of the engine cover/airbox as one was missing and the other 3 were starting to perish. When it was on the rolling road recently you could see the cover moving around a fair bit, so I replaced them for peace of mind that the cover can't move too much and stress anything or restrict air flow.
Aside from that I stripped the car back to it's paintwork, clayed it, used Auto Finesse Triple and then topped it off with some 'Bead Maker' which has given it the slickest finish I have ever had on any car, and the shine is very deep and glossy. Extremely happy with this product on a black car.

Here's a couple of pics from outside the car, and one looking through the rear window to highlight the colour.Scrolled back a few pages and just been having a look at those perspex tints you've fitted, have you got a picture of them fitted? Been quoted around £120 to have my rears tinted which is about the price of these, only thing putting me off slightly is you stated they have a slight reddish tint on the insides?

What part no are the rubber grommets? I think mine is missing two!
