I'm sending mine to Silverstone for a day in the hope she'll get a taste for two seat motors. That and she'll stop moaning at my use of the pedals.

She only liked it as she thought the alacantara headlining was 'like felt' .... Go figure

After Audi shipping them incorrectly twice, I finally had new discs, calipers, pads and carriers fitted today

Audi uk said they'd 'sort me something out' for the inconvenience of them shipping it incorrectly twice, but no idea what they'll send. I'm thinking a crappy Audi key ring ?

Truly a thing of beauty. Just missing some carbon?!

I did ask if there was an option to upgrade, but no answer

That'll be worth having. Certainly save me £600 or so as first service is now looming on 15k

In fairness, Audi UK have been pretty decent about the problem. They did offer to loan me an R8 whilst it was getting sorted, which they didn't need to do

Yeah, they're fine now
Feel a little bit more spongey that before, but still stop well and no squealing

For those of us that had the upgraded brakes fitte under warranty, how's everyone getting on with the new ones ?
I'm having endless troubles and my car's been refered back to the factory to sort out. Getting quite frustrating now
