they are really top quality items, i had a set off singles prior to the quads from them too, very happy with them .
I'm not normally a fan of lips, spoilers and splitters, but I have to say, that is one fantastic looking B7, great job mate @Stu_b7
I've seen that style of rear valance splitter before, looks like one @Ricky Burrows fabricated for his now gone B7.
I purchased a Porsche 968 club sport from Chilham Sports Cars back in 2005 , they ripped me off big time and it put me right off garages in kent.Not far off! I'm about 20 miles or so from Little Chart
Shame as it was a nice car, just botched up by them.
Anyway, gave the old bus a shampoo and set today so she looks a bit fresher than of late.
Had a snoop under the bonnet just to check all was well, yep all good until I found oil splattered on the under tray, closer inspection revealed the sealing gasket on the oil cooler/ filter housing has failed, not a massive amount but it's gone in one place all the same, another one of this generations tfsi faults, so thats a job for the next few weeks.
always something to do, luckily I need to do a filter and oil change so I can do it at the same time, nothing worse than wasting all that new oil.
might do a gearbox oil change aswell as its feels like it could use one now.

This weekend, I have had the front bumper off to replace the broken height adjusters - I have attempted repairing these with glue in the past but it only lasts a short time before they break again so new ones were required. I opted to modify things so they could be screwed on (instead of rivetted), using M5 screws. Appropriately sized RivNuts are ideal for this.
Old broken bits
Old rivets drilled out, holes slightly enlarged for Riv Nuts
Slight countersinking mod to new part to allow for slightly raised rivnut head
Just the other side to do now........

Where is the best place to get these from always abit worried about eBay bits
most of them are ok, audi will charge you more than everyone else.
its not like they are a bearing etc, just an adjustable support really.

I bought 2 new ones from my local dealer about 4 years ago, was less than £20 for both. As with all things they’ve probably gone up loads by now
Delivery notification this morning so popped home while passing with work for a very quick mock up of how they might look
Top view could be better ,happy with end view
Overall quite pleased but they aren’t on the car yet
Time will tell

The old wagon is starting to get on my wick…
Still having issues with the Recaro's, given up for now and refitted the Sline seats.
On the plus side, picked up a new headunit and amp for the Golf

Looks really good bud, are you going to be colour matching the S4 valence?
Thanks chap ,I was at first but after viewing many s4s rear valance exhaust combos there’s a lot that don’t
I’m not sure now ,I probably will but I’m not in such a rush

I don’t think it looks too out of place in silver/grey

I'm going to be a tad controversial, I'd go with a colour match, silver looks nice but just looks a bit more add on if you get my drift.
But whatever works for you James.

Totally agree ,It’s just that it doesn’t bother me as much as I expected it to thus painting is not as high on my list of priorities as it was

Hi Rob,
The passenger seat is still giving me a headache… it won’t move backwards/ forwards even though both motors work fine when tested. Also the drivers side keeps giving me an airbag warning light which I can’t seem to reset. I’ve got the MOT due next month so I’ve refitted them old seats just to get through that without any issues. I’ll come back to them in a few weeks, just haven’t got any spare time at the moment unfortunately
Just a thought Rob, are they definitely B7 ones, maybe worth checking with the seller as some B6 seats had issues with airbag messages when fitted to B7's.
They look the same for the most part but are different.
sounds like the seat movement is jammed somewhere or not engaging.

They are B6 seats not B7. Going to ask a friend of a friend (auto sparky) to have a look in a few weeks. Gotta get through the mot then it’s going in for much needed paint, will hopefully sort the seats after that
Thats your air bag error then Rob, B7 will look for the airbags in the B7 seats, B6 didnt have them hence why you get the error light.
It can be bypassed with some fiddling.

They have had the bladder sensor bypass done to stop the airbag light, seems it’s not been done too well unfortunately
