The beginning

Single Grill Conversion and Custom FogGrill LEDs

S3 Facelift wheels

Facelift Tails

Some winter shots, back with the sport rims with my winter tyres

Still more to come as a lot of stuff is still to be photoed

What else you got planned?

 

[PH1L]

well black badging is completed along with a double din conversion with dvd satnav zune & ipod interfaces, next mod on the list is a set of black & red leather heated seats its been a week since i stared gathing cash for that mod and im halfway! wanted to follow that with s3 pedals but im unsure of the cost

FBMFSW and cruise are on the cards as well

lowering in the summer dual exit backbox and possibbly s3 skirts and spoiler

then save for the s3!

oh and im also looking for a set of xenon headlights to finish my lighting conversion since everything else is now led (interior & exterior)

 

[N8]

Sounds good, why not just get the interior trimmed?

 

[PH1L]

beacause its around 600 quid cheaper to buy the seats from a mate rather than getting it retrimmed and i would still have to add in the heating elements then

i notice youve done the s3 pedal mod, how much were your pedals, i realise yours is a dsg so i may be a little more as i have to buy 2 covers as mine is a manual but the acc pedal should be the same

 

[N8]

I can't remember bought them 2 years ago now! I got mine from VAG parts, but they have closed down now.......get a price from your local Audi dealer.

 

[PH1L]

was it around 50 quid? cause i aint paying 100 for a set of pedals!

 

[Lee_R]

The S3 pedals cost about £110 all in for the manual and no the accelerator pedal is different in DSG cars too, has an extra sensor in it from what i remember.

The accelerator is about 90 quid and say 10 quid each for the other 2. The clutch/brake are just covers but the accelerator has to be completely replaced hence the price. Easy to it, got mine off ebay second hand bu the seller turned out to be on here!

A tight scot!

Another nice interior mod is to change the dash air vents to S3 alloy spec versions. They are standard on all 08 facelifts aswell if your looking on Ebay. £76 each from Audi but you can normally pick all 4 up off ebay for 80-100 quid

 

[PH1L]

theres a boy on here selling em, i could always paint my own, im waiting to see how much chrome my new climate unit will have needed another one since i just completed my double din conversion anyway and needed one with heated seats for when i get teh interior am i right in saying thats all you need though just the seat with the heating element and the cc unit?

 

[PH1L]

found this over on vagoc may be of use to some people http://vagoc.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=89

 

[N8]

They were about £60 iirc

 

[PH1L]

anyway ive got large detailed post and pics to come jsut gotta sort some nigglies on the car

 

[gixxer600k4]

are they the oznium superflux LED's i have them fitted to mine but one has started to flicker, spoke the oznium and they are sending me out one free of charge, which is really good when u thinkg its like 10 quid for P&P to the UK

anyway, nice car mate, and good mods!

 

[PH1L]

yeah theyre oznium ones, real bright and pretty cheap given theyre sealed units, thanks theres a lot more to come in the comming month just saving for it all

[david_phillips95]

Is this a copy of an RNS-E?

Davie

 

[PH1L]

thats the idea just with all of the units included, however the build of the cage is of low quality and locked inside my dash, what an effort to get it out

 

[david_phillips95]

Actually looks and fits not bad for a non VAG unit. How does it perform against your old headunit? are the connections in the back the same as your old unit?

Davie

 

[PH1L]

the nav software is quite nice, though signal isnt great the cage however oversprung on it and the unit got stuck in so ive had to make my own mounts other than that its nice, dtv integrated good for digital radio bt integrated not tried out the ipod software yet but my zune works real nice
