No unless you swap the screen for each unit but than I am not sure if it will even fit or work afterwards.

Did a gearbox and rear diff Oil change. Went with Gulf 75w90 from Opi oils.
Also flushed my brake fluid again 3rd complete change in under 6 months.
This time it's RBF600.

And fitted Trups bulbs for DRL
Very easy fix! Love how it looks now!
Need to change my HiD bulbs to something a bit less chav. Have 12k right now! What was I thinking????

Wow just read right through this and fair play, really good to see people getting their hands dirty and
doing all the work themselves.
I try and do a lot but not the engine work that scares me lol.
Really liking the wheels and ride height, clocks are very cool not something I would have even thought of.

The arbs I usually go with H+Rs, how do you find the einbach and are they any cheaper with being
listed as just A4 instead of RS4 ?

Keep up the good work

Thanks mate
I enjoy working on cars. Find it very therapeutic
Arbs are as good as H&R unfortunately price is the same I think. I had them on my A4 and simply swapped over. The only difference is that the front one is not adjustable and at it's hardest setting compared to H&R all the time.

Update time
So after I had that little curb accident few weeks back, I decided that it's not worth the effort to just fix and paint single wheel (since I always wanted gold/bronze wheels for this car) I decided this was a sign from above and pulled a trigger on all 4 being done. The color I picked is Mitsubishi 2002 titan gold.
They came out rather well me think

Nice Just put bronze wheels on meself. Love them on the Avant.

[Jules]

Liking that mate and and a fan of the bronze, just in a couple of pics I feel maybe the rails should be wrapped
in a similar colour or satin black maybe ?

Nice build thread. Well done

[pule333]

Since ordering the 6500k bulbs and clear lenses from @Trups they been sitting in the garage collecting dust. So last night decided it's as good time as any to install them + painting few bit.
I have to say installing lenses wasn't as straight forward as I though.
Used a cardboard box for makeshift oven to soften the glue.

Decided I wanted inner plastic to be sprit blue
Royal PITA
Half way through the job
End result me like it

Looking good Ilya, I know messing around with headlights is a pain in the arse.
Got to take mine out and give the inside of the lenses a wash as condensation has fogged them a little.
