Re: Wanted 20” RS4 v alloy

Are you still looking? I have just got my VSpokes back from fresh refurb. Diamond cut and never put back on the car. Will be selling all 4 mind, and was just about to create an ad on here and/or fleabay. Refurb was done by Audi dealer and they have done a very good job. Let me know, Tony

Re: MMI & Maps Update

That's the same deal John did for me - didn't want to hold him to the exact same price, just in case........ Be warned that the instructions tend to mash up the different MMI versions - for example it is easy to start thinking you need to get into the Red Menu or Green menu (and waste time trying to...

Re: Strut Brace - Canyon Run CR-15 installed

So, I fitted one of these on Wednesday night. Great instructions - in fact the whole process of ordering from Eurozone was very professional and painless. Only issue I had was that the only Sockets that would fit are my Wera 1/4" drive sockets. My Sealey Pro sockets were too tall to clear the rubber...

Re: MMI & Maps Update

You are on the MMI Plus, and this is the original 2014/15 firmware and Maps. I had exactly the same and contacted John Simpson at vagnav who sorted out the required (genuine) firmware and Map updates. Contact John at vagnavinfo@gmail.com. Be warned, it will take a long time to update - so I would re...

Re: Should i buy a B8? EDIT: NOW BOUGHT!

Lovely, I doubt very much that you will have any regrets. Mine came without folding mirrors - which pee'd me off. There are a number of places that will retrofit, depending on where you are based. I had mine done by Ash near Uxbridge. You'll be waving goodbye to £750 mind. You will also get the tilt...

Re: Picked up a Noggy

Thanks Mav8. I took it to Ash at Audi Retrofits yesterday to have folding mirrors and Rear Camera added. Took him longer than he expected - due to a loose connection on the camera out of the box. So that's the immediate list of missing spec items sorted. Whilst I was there, there were a couple of du...

Re: Should i buy a B8?

I can only echo some of the above comments. It took me, ooh, 3 weeks to pull the trigger. For me it was quite simple, I needed the practicality of an estate (I like the reference to bread van), but with the ability to do silly things. I was coming off a long period of running "hot-ish" Volvo Q Cars,...

Re: Alloy Gators

Jonny, yes they are Diamond cut. They have also been 'furbed at some point in the past, so pretty sure at some point the lacquer will be a problem. I will just have to keep my eye on them.
Cheers, TC

Alloy Gators

Just had a set of Alloy Gators fitted. Went for the new "Exclusive" ones. Was informed by the fitter that in all probability that these will be the default going forward. I cannot, at this stage speak for their efficacy. Literally they have been up the drive and back just to park the car. However, t...

Re: Picked up a Noggy

Anyway, moving on. For those who wanted to see the interior, here are a couple of shots. having come from a V70R with Gobi (sand colour) everywhere, this was not too much of a challenge for me personally. Yes, the Ayatollah did think the car was a bit Essex (she's frightfully Surrey), but I suspect ...

Re: Picked up a Noggy

Mav8, I will take some photos on Friday. I need to take some shots for Premier Boot liners to show them the issue I have with their liner (which is otherwise very good) not having provision for the Boot Lighting. You will have to wear shades as the Noggy scheme is attention seeking to put it mildly....
