    An introduction and a change of wheels

    Just returned from the English/Welsh border and the outskirts of Wrexham where Nitro Composites have their manufacturing facility to complete their set of carbon fibre goodies available for the B8/8.5 RS5. On this occasion it was to have their carbon fibre exhaust tips to replace the factory...

    An introduction and a change of wheels

    At the end of last week I went down to Audi Retrofits in Iver, Bucks, where Ash retrofitted hill hold/assist and installed wireless Apple CarPlay to help make the MMI that bit more modern. Amazing the difference both make. None of the four Audis I have owned this far had hill hold/assist from...

    An introduction and a change of wheels

    Just a quick thread update to accompany my summer mods. Took the RS5 to have an APR stage 1 remap at CLP Automotive in Sheffield last week. The ‘before’ dyno run shows peak power slightly down on published figures, but I wasn’t too disappointed, given the car has done over 40,000 miles and...

    Today I received an eagerly awaited package of carbon fibre products from NITRO Composites which I have been slowly unwrapping. At the weekend I’ll fit it all, but I couldn’t resist showing the engine cover as an aperitif! [emoji7][emoji1786][emoji170] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think that’s something I’m going to have to do, too. It’s a shame there’s no other way of sorting them. They’re not like chrome tips that can be polished with metal polish and wire wool. I wonder whether they’d be better being dipped and powder coated? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not a big change, but replaced the stock air filters for ITG versions. I have read good things about their durability and efficiency and just thought I’d give them a go. Need to get the engine bay cleaned up next. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Today has been decent. Got three small dings on the near side of the car removed by a local paintless dent repair company and fitted a CR15 tower strut brace. Whilst doing that I also removed lots of old leaves from under the scuttle panel.

    It’s not difficult as long as you take your time and make sure you prise open all the clips before you really get physical! If you aren’t too heavy handed the old covers will come off undamaged. There’s a video on YouTube that’ll guide you through it: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Windscreen washer jets fan type

    Mark at Brotek sells them, mate. I got a pair for mine and they are far superior to the stock 3-hole ones. A five minute upgrade. https://brotek.co.uk/index.html

    A quick and easy mod, courtesy of Mark Brodie and Brotek. Swapped the original, 3 hole washer jets for a pair of fan jets. [emoji1305] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The mats cost me about £135 with delivery, I think. Had a 25% off voucher at Xmas. Mind you, they’ve always got offers on. Really happy with them, they look and feel great! The carbon wing mirror covers were from eBay...

    So I started the new year with a change to the wing mirrors, including sequential indicators. This was not a mod I enjoyed carrying out on the first mirror, although once done successfully, it’s relatively straight forward and quick. #teamsepang Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thought I should probably introduce myself, having previously been a member/occasional poster on the A3/S3 and A5/S5 forums. Initially the owner of a Misano Red 2.0 TDI 8P A3 Sportback and then an Ice Silver 8P S3 Sportback: More recently, I was the proud owner of a 2014 BE Daytona Grey S5...

    Fitted new wheels today.

    Black wheels on Daytona grey look sweet. Frankly, anything with Daytona looks pretty amazing, I reckon! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
