These bad boys arrived earlier in the week... picked them up from work today. Hoping they fit under my wheels as they’re flipping huge! Just need to stop procrastinating over pads and order something.
What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

They look a nice shade of red
, and yes they are big old slabs compared to the oem ones , 8 pot ones are bigger.Don't forget to flip them around when fitting.
good luck chap, your in for a real treat when they are on.
I have been at the point of doing a deal for some 8 pots for some time , just cant commit in case they messup my current wheel and offset setup, sometimes it is just best to leave things alone...not that I ever do
I know the feeling... I can’t leave the audio system alone at the moment, just invested in some new front components and another amp. Going for a fully active system now although I should just leave it alone and concentrate on getting the breaks, clutch, DMF and the ARB’s fitted. I definitely could’ve bought a decent RS4 with the amount of money I’ve spent on this wagon!I have been at the point of doing a deal for some 8 pots for some time , just cant commit in case they messup my current wheel and offset setup, sometimes it is just best to leave things alone...not that I ever do
If you are like me, even if I had an rs4 now i'd still be wasting shed loads on it..lol, so it all becomes just part of the game.
Pic was taken when the car was just off the jack, so suspension still settling.
18" diameter, 8.5 fronts and 9.5 rears.
Good question.......I can't remember!
They were originally on an 08 Seat Leon.
I did try them on the A4 before I bought them to check the fit and clearance.

Finally , finally finished the Alpine HU fit.
Pulled it all out for the very ,very last time and fitted the missing lead for camera's/ speed pulse /can bus I/f and aux input etc that Alpine kindly supplied FOC.
So now all functions, functioning which is great , very pleased now it's all complete and working as I expected, just I shame it has taken a bit longer than I was hoping.
Anyway, happy days again.

That little triangular pice in the rear door window - does it come out easily?
Both of mine have corroded as well.
Haven’t taken them out yet, but I guess the inside door cover needs to be removed to access a bolt or two. I guess someone here will give us an answer on the correct way to reassemble before I find out
Get some Alex, you know it makes sense...
Im giving it very little consideration, just flying by the seat of my underpants!
Thanks for the drawing - it looks a bit of a chore, but perhaps once the door card is off, it might not be.
I'd best order some more door card clips then!
Had to order two new Lambda sensors for the old bus today, pre cat sensor has become unreliable with random errors so decided to just get a pair and be done with it.
That's waved goodbye to £150 with very little effort...
oh well , now where is that mug of tea.

At the right price i'd take them aswell as spares.
If you want to offload them drop me a PM..

Only £150?
I think the only time I spend less than £150 on my car is when I stick diesel in it...........
Had a pleasant surprise this morning, plugged my phone into my Alpine HU only to be greeted with a new screen, and its rather nice , works very well aswell.
It most certainly wasn't a screen that I could select before, just seems to have changed .
Anyway living with my new HU just seems to be getting better by the day....

Really?? So to replace thermostat you have to take belt off? Mine's 1.9tdi, is mine same mess on?
I'm also confused, I thought the s-line is only 20mm lower than standard, so 40mm lower gives 20mm away from s-line height.
I don't recal what the s-line ride height is now but i'm on Bilstein b8 with h&r 45mm drop allround , so if it is 20-25 mm in s-line mode then I am approx. 20-25 lower still.
Given how my old avant looks i'd say that was right to be honest.

I don't suppose you have before and after pic? I'm se spec so want to see difference 45mm spring's make

Do 1.9tdi engines have this issue?
How did you go about spraying headlights??Sprayed the inserts of my lights satin black along with the fog light surrounds and air duct for the intercooler. Makes such a difference on how clean the front end looks

Yes mate, they came with a full fitting kit and lines. I’m itching to get them on, still haven’t ordered any pads yet though!
Been looking at alloys again...., i'm still hankering for these 20" S8's , and oh yes they will be mine, well at the right price.
