look nice, needs lowering now tho
And black optics. I know it's not everyones cup of tea but with the darker wheels you need the black optics to finish it off.
Yeh I agree about lowering it.. But not a fan of black optics tbh, I think kW adjustable springs is the route am gonna go down but was at revolution on Tuesday and they can't fit them because of the drc, they told me to go to audi and get them to fit them :thumbsdown: ... Don't think there's anywhere else in the north east that could fit them neither, may be a road trip coming up I think :jump:
They can be fitted without discharging the DRC. The instructions on how to do so come with the kit. They're downloadable from the kW website.

then your insurance might be void....i just learnt that...after renewing my car insurance 6 weeks ago with more than i phoned them back to say that i have 20" Q7 alloys on they quickly turned round and said that they dont insure cars with bigger wheel upgrade and if anything had happened and i had to claim for total loss they wouldnt pay up as its classed as modification...so i would check your insurance mate as i had to cancel and go with someone else...didnt cost anything but you cant give insurance companys the chance not to pay up these days so just thought i would mention it fella....also i got kw adjustibles on and kept my DRC.reason wjy revolution cant do it maybe is they might have to pressurise system again and havent got the kit...

Did you get the kw's fitted or were they on the car when you got it? Yeh revolution said they cant fit them because they cant re-charge the system, and i dont really want coilovers as i dont want to ruin the ride all together .... also checked if my wheel size makes any difference to my insurance and they said no but thx for the warning mate.

why not? you dont need to discharge and recharge the drc, it can be done on the car

DRC doesn't need discharged to fit the springs, 100%. Mine (now Jay's) were done by a local independent ex-VAG mechanic.

[quote="m3dne"]slight issue with the sidelight leds tho /quote]

I've never found LED sidelight bulbs that work properly - I've tried all sorts [including trups kit] and gave up in the end and used standard bulbs - If anyone has success with sidelight [not DRL] LED bulbs - let me know please.
