    Todays mods: RNS-E DVD Nav; Dietz 1417 Multimedia Interface; RS4 Alcantara wheel

    I love Alcantara steering wheels, I have one in my M3 and I've loved them ever since I saw one in the B5 RS4. Dietz 1417 lets me play videos from my iPod and also sound, so saves me buying a seperate interface. RNS-E is well handy, speaks for itself really. I must say thanks to Steve as I used...

    Cleaning facelift plastics

    The facelift plastic texture certainly looks nicer but it also looks like a nightmare to clean! I usually use Poorboys interior shine (doesn't leave that horrible silicone finish) on a piece of rag, but I can't see how it will work on such a grainy finish. Any idas or recommendations? Cheers...
