The reverse camera is not something I was planning on. But when I seen the CarPlay unit supported a reverse camera and the camera was only £30 I thought why not!haha

The CarPlay is going great Mac, for an aftermarket kit you would swear it came in the car the integration is perfect and no issues.

Haha, it certainly felt like it last week John! My Maxton splitter made a good snow plough!

Wow car is looking good. I did post about 8 months ago asking you where you got the boot lip spoiler from but didn't see a reply. If OEM do you have a part number
or is it aftermarket?

 

[boxer70]

Car looks great. I’m thinking about fitting a Maxton splitter and I think seeing it in your car makes me realise I need one which version is it?

Some great mods on you motor pal. Which reverse bulbs did you buy?

And which Apple Car Play unit did you end up with? Been looking at getting the Elite one but they are probably all the same

 

[Point_Audi]

@mr_ash80
The reverse bulbs I have are from this seller on Amazon, still going strong - AGLINT T15 W16W LED Bulbs CANBUS Error Free 22SMD T16 955 921 912 Wedge for Car Backup Reverse Lights https://amzn.eu/d/elzZHNz

The CarPlay unit is from - https://bavarian-automotive.co.uk/

 

[Point_Audi]

Few more changes with the car, fitted some Maxton side skirts and rear splats along upgrading the boot lip spoiler and completed the twin exhaust conversion with genuine parts.

 

[pelhamsdetailing]

Looks awesome and mean mate. Will you be changing the fog light covers to the same mesh type as the grill in the future?

 

[Point_Audi]

Cheets @Vappy
The foglight surrounds are very similar to the honeycomb grill style so I will probably just leave them if I am honest not too worried about them being mesh!

Cheers pal, I'll order a set of them,
Have you looked at doing the interior lights to LED?

 

[JRock247]

Hey @Point_Audi Loving your build so far. Giving me plenty of ideas for my A5 that I'm in the process of modding, although I working primarily on the interior at the moment.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Point_Audi]

@mr_ash80 Good stuff, let me know how you get on, you won’t be disappointed they are good and bright. Yes I upgraded the interior to led was the first mod I done when I got the car. Then I slowly done upgrades like fitting front and rear footwell lighting, glovebox light, vent lighting, puddle door lighting and door handle lighting!

Thanks @JRock247 it all takes time but its nice when you get compliments on the car! Just done a service on it there myself this evening so that will be it sorted for another few miles! Just have to think of the next mod!

 

[Point_Audi]

Full machine polish today!

 

[notafordfocus]

Really nice!

Have you got a link to the front grille you bought? And did you do a thread about adding footwell lighting?

 

[Point_Audi]

Thanks!
The company I got my grill from is here, but I dont think the sell the grill with the rings anymore. https://www.xenonz.co.uk/audi-a5-s5-2012-2015-products.html

As for the footwell light install, I found a guide on the fourm and just followed that at the time you will need VCDS also to turn them on. https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/guide-to-retrofit-footwell-lights-front-rear.210193/

Awesome thanks for the links. I ended up ordering the CT Carbon black grille, which I think is almost identical. It came with the black Audi rings which were the ones I wanted.

Will check out this guide and give it a go.

Cheers
