Yes I regugalry look at the Neidfaktor site to see what they have to offer. Luke can do the same though, I know he has already done his roof lining and hinges, can't remmeber if he has done the dash yet. Have you seen his car recently? Looks lovely with the buckets, it was something i was considering but have the centre parts in the same alcantara and blue stitching as our seats have.
Careful with those carbon seats backs though; are you talking about the small panel at the bottom or the complete backrest? I love the complete backrests but I think they have shown them on the worng page, I can't see how they could make it look good on our seats at they don't have a hard bit to replace or a natural joint around the edge. I think they picture they show looks more like the RS3 seats.
Luke's does look stunning. I would love the buckets but at this rate I'll be bankrupt!

It's the lower part of the seat, a replacement for what we have now but without the magazine netting. Then the sides also. I will attach pictures.

I would love the internal roof lining in carbon but Neidfaktor have said it wouldn't go in the car without taking all the seats out.

Yes I'd love those rs3 seat backs above but I think we are restricted to the lower parts as you mentioned debut with9ut the netting and the lower side parts too.

Pretty sure they just pop off. I'll have a look on the computer later.

Yes I like them (without the mesh). There is a German company in ebay that sell both those parts much cheaper than Neidfaktor but it had the mesh bit (like the photo above) and they were recently on special offer.

From Elsawin for removing the back covers:
Reach behind right side of backrest cover panel and pull cover panel off outer backrest fram towards the right side.
Repeat procedure on opposite side
Pull off backrest cover panel further and bend it until retaining hooks (top) have disengaged from outer backrest frame.
Lift backrest cover panel off backrest.

Not sure how much the carbon version will bend though?

Amazing, thanks dude. Now I just need the backings Image

What price were they in eBay? Do you think quality is any good?

Love be those bucket and steering wheel on Neidfaktor. Maybe I just go mad on the credit card

Sorry, it was Carbon Designz website that shows the RS3 type seat back under the RS6 listing:
https://carbon-designz.com/audi-a6-s6-r ... tseat.html
Looks cool though!

The other thing I was considering was the carbon sat nav screen cover / dash trim which is black and not carbon as standard:

And I just noticed they do a carbon air box and carbon radiator cover now.

The sat nav would look great. I just want to go to town with carbon inside the car. It's getting a bit silly now Image

Outside just clean, black and low. Loud of course. But the inside loads of carbon and alcantara. They a big tune! 800hp+ is what I'm after.

So I decided with my second set of KW's I am going to rebuild them how I believe they should have been done to begin with.

I have stripped down the two front coilovers so that I could clean them up and give the dampener more of a dulled off brushed effect. The polished stainless didn't quite do it for me.

Image

Image

I am having the main springs front and rear, along with the helper springs powder coated black instead of KW's regular yellow. Probably my least favorite colour.

I am also having the suspension locater cups 3D printed in black, again instead that standard KW yellow.

Image

Rear dampeners will be cleaned up and re painted in high gloss black.

I have ordered some 12mm rear spacers to replace the 15mm I currently have on. I am hoping this will allow me to keep that staggered more aggressive look but also go much lower on the rear with the fitment of the new coilovers.

I am hoping everything will be done by this coming Saturday as I would like to fit coilovers, milltek and spacers all at once.

Thoughts on putting this back on the boot lid? It's been painted the same black at the front rings and RS6 badges.
