Cete suspension module fitted dropping suspension per driving mode and adding show mode, i added to this the venting kit, which is now giving me an 80mm drop

Looking good.
Can you use it to set the ride height per driving mode?
Was it plug and play or did you have to modify any wires?
TIA
yes can set per diving mode, so i have:
comfort - stock
eco/auto -20mm
dynamic -30mm
you can then switch between them on individual
it also has a safety cut off enabled, so you can set a speed where it will automatically return to stock at a set speed - important as i think at a set speed it lowers slightly for aerodynamics, and if you are already -30mm that could be dangerous
sorry missed that part of your question, its plug and play, you have to remove a few block connectors in the boot, plug them into the supplied loom and then plug the loom in where you removed the factory connections - takes 5 minutes
also comes with a bypass wiring block so if you want to remove the unit but not undo all the wiring you dont have to
the vent kit ive just added to empty the bags and drop it 80mm was a bit tricker and involved tapping into a connector under the rear bench - the hardest part was getting to it and then routing the wire into the boot
black logos fitted, and plates changed (again!)
Hi there, where did you get your black ring badges from? I’m looking for some for my 2015 A7.
front badge was from audi, parts request it from crewe audi - i tried to get a cheap one off ebay it didn't fit and it took me over a month to get my money back
audi don't make the rear, i got a copy one from the states, not the cheapest, but it's perfect

alternatively i think audi do one for the a5 in black which should have a similar curved shape to fit - probably a little shorter though
fitted 20mm spacers all round yesterday, sits so much better now, handling feels more positive too (excuse how dirty the car is, I was refitting my rear plate so couldn't get it wet
Nice. What spacers did you go for? You got a link?

Bimecc ones, got a kit off eBay with the bolts and locking nut, TUV tested so I’m happy they are good quality - just have to let them know what wheels you are running so you get the right bolts

another quick update, took the exhaust trims off to get them powdercoated as was way cheaper than buying the black competition ones from audi, really pleased with how they turned out, just a word of warning to others, don't leave them off the car for long as you'll melt your diffuser!
Over the last week I have also been correcting the paintwork, it wasn't in bad condition, but I wanted to add a layer of ceramic protection (KKD Sistal) so made sense to fully decontaminate and correct first, really happy with the outcome, only a couple of marks I couldn't remove, but they aren't obvious unless you are looking for them.
Paintwork now looks super glossy and is silky to touch, rained today the beeding performance is also great.
Products used:
Valet Pro Dragon's Breath fall out remover
Valet Pro Foamula 1 snow foam
Carpro Reset shampoo
Bilt Hamber medium clay (lubed with a bucket of shampoo)
Koch Chemie H9
Koch Chemie M2
Carpro Eraser panel wipe
KKD Sistal (2 coats)

Looking good. Powder coat them gloss black is on my to do list too. How much did they cost, if you don’t mind me asking?
Loving the lambo style plate too. Fits the rear nicely

Yeah inside too, took them to a general powder coater; but they do wheels too
Said it will be fine, they powder coat fire grates and wheels can get plenty hot too!
think the diffuser was the victim of a few regens
no further changes to the car, i am booked in for front tints next week
i visited santa pod on VW Breakout weekend, and managed a time of 13.87 @ 100.38mph
also had some professional pictures taken

well sadly my A7 lost a fight with an HGV on the motorway and is being collected for salvage today 
thankfully I wasn't hurt at all, I was tempted to buy the car back and fix it, but it would be too much hassle for me at the moment
new car incoming....

I’m still running the S7 as my daily (though I’m out of the country with work these days, so it’s more garaged than not) Odometer just clicked over 90k miles. Hasn’t missed a beat since I collected him with 18 miles on the clock. (Its definitely a “him” aka “The Beast”)
I finally ran out of things to modify about a 6 months ago, now Stage 3 tuned with RS7 turbos fitted. My last mod was upgrading the MMI system adding an Android Headunit with a widescreen.
Thought about changing him a few times, but this one still brings a smile to my face every time I drive it, or look back after parking it, as you do.
Id be gutted to loose him after all the work that’s gone into it.
What’s next for you then?
John.
